I just wish I could figure out how to get the Radeon/whatever graphics drivers right on this Lenovo Ideapad. I gave up
The fact that things like this are still an issue makes me think that it will take more than just Steam to make desktop Linux more than a tiny niche in the gaming market.
- estebank 14y agoAu contraire, having Steam available might be just enough to push for better driver support from nVidia and AMD.
- eagsalazar 14y agoYour point is valid but the things that keep linux from widespread adoption go way way beyond drivers (and drivers are a big deal). I really wonder how many people commending have used Linux as daily drivers on laptops for a long time? I've been using linux for over 10 years exclusively and I love the culture and the idea but I'll also be the first one to admit that the Linux desktop just plain sucks and is a buggy mess.
- MartinCron 14y agoI honestly hope so. Even though I don't use Linux on the desktop anymore (I'm Mac, mostly) I appreciate the pressure that competition brings.
- reedlaw 14y agoWith Steam on Linux there will be more pressure for GPU vendors to clean up their drivers mess.
