    The state of Linux gaming in the SteamOS era (Ars Technica)
    Ars Technica takes a look at Linux gaming and at what effect SteamOS has had already for gaming on Linux. The article also considers the future and where SteamOS might (or might not) take things. "This all brings up another major question for SteamOS followers: how long is this "beta" going to last, exactly? While Valve has unquestionably built a viable Linux gaming market from practically nothing, the company's lackadaisical development timeline might be holding the market back from growing even more. In the last year, the initial excitement behind the SteamOS beta launch seems to have given way to "Valve Time" malaise in some ways."
