Linux really is the future of gaming - Gabe Newell, 2013 at LinuxCon
Ойындар
This is the full talk from LinuxCon in 2013 where Valve's Gabe Newell famously said "Linux really is the future of gaming".
Was he right? With the #SteamDeck, he could be!

Amazing to think this talk was given before Proton, before Vulkan, before Fortnite, before Steam Controller, before Twitch was part of Amazon, etc. Despite all that, still very relevant, and very prescient.

My guy Gabe may not have the best speaking skills, but the work he's been doing for about a decade to Linux cannot be underestimated, especially now, with steam deck and Proton

@@Ralphunreal um, no? Not for Linux. Backwards and forwards compatibility are broken all the time. 1.2 percent of user and maybe 0.1 percent of sales isn't worth any developer's time
It's incredible how well Gabe can see trends and project then multiple years ahead

It comes from him having principles, imo. He can see through bullshit he already recognizes due to his life and world view.
What I love about Gaben is that he is a CEO/president, a developer, and a gamer all at once. He knows how to speak to us. This presentation was a blast!
Wqtching this while downloading Doom 2016 into Linux Mint! 😊
At the last 3 seconds of the talk he literally alludes to the steam deck and steam link on phones. This probably means valve had the idea for the steam deck and steam link since 2013. That is truly wid.

I mean yea, but a lot of people forget that not even 2 years later he came out with the steam machine, which got the ball rolling on valve wanting to make hardware for the living room, AKA steam machines, and steamOS.
Both Gabe and his work should be studied, a lot
Thank you

Whats crazy he wanted to say steam deck there at the end of this vid lol 2 years later 😂 a linux based system is beating all the competitors cause 1. Less power consumption with a custom soc lol 2. Community driven open source

No, not even 2 years later - this talk was done all the way back in 2013. That means he's had the idea of a Linux handheld like the Steam Deck for at least 11 years!

Valve will make HL3 Linux exclusive which will drive a portion of PC gamers to try out SteamOS. This will also push their competitor "handheld PC" manufacturers to start giving customers the option of a Windows or SteamOS version. Their hardware competitors will start using their OS.
