Tucked into their FAQ about the Steam Machine release was a mention about making your own Steam Machine by installing steamOS to a computer you already have. AMD only for now.

AMD only for now.

AMD only forever unless you want to reinstall nvidia drivers every month, because the cunts will never support linux properly

And at least AMD doesn't catch on fire and screw over their own power delivery interfaces.

    The open source Nvidia drivers are coming along nicely I hear.

    Where did you hear it? The only I read was NVIDIA driver support for the Steam OS, not this year btw, but nothing about open source drivers.

    Mainly just that there's constant improvements happening. I'm not sure how far behind it still is, but constant improvements are nice.

    For example, I saw a story in my RSS feeds this morning that the open source Nvidia driver just got DLSS support.

    Tbh not even the fucking Windows drivers work properly either. In all my years of gaming every single time I’ve had an issue with my Nvidia GPU it’s the fucking drivers not working properly. Ranging from wild performance benches in games that only work on one specific driver, but fucks up the rest of my library, to crashes that cause me to force restart.

    Once I switched over to AMD with my 580 back in the day, drivers have been absolutely seamless. Fuck that DLSS shit and fuck Nvidia. I just want my $500 GPU to work properly.
