SteamOS is out and runs on Debian Wheezy 7.1

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hell yeah,


    Volker you got to speed things up. SteamOS just got out running on Debian Wheezy 7.1 and this would be a nice addition!


    Alltough there are some facts at the moment which are rather bad of Valve like only UEFI support and at least 500gb/1tb space needed on the OS. And this in times were nearly every new PC runs a SSD as a system drive... Should only take some days were the installation tutorials for installing SteamOS via Package Repos are out!

    I was just reading about this too. There are a couple of good things about this that would help OMV as a server.


    1 - Backported eglibc 2.17 from Debian testing
    2 - Updated kernel tracking the 3.10 longterm branch (currently 3.10.11)


    I'm sure they will backport more apps (especially multimedia apps) and people will target this platform. This should help OMV get more bleeding edge apps while staying stable :)

    omv 7.0.5-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.8 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.13 | compose 7.1.6 | k8s 7.1.0-3 | cputemp 7.0.1 | mergerfs 7.0.4


    omv-extras.org plugins source code and issue tracker - github - changelogs


    Please try ctrl-shift-R and read this before posting a question.

    Please put your OMV system details in your signature.
    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

    Yeah. Waiting for installation instructions to install via SteamOS package repos, then I will make some space with gparted and try it out on my Server, maybe need to switch in my old GTS250, because the installed ATI/AMD card isn't supported (no AMD/ATI/Intel card is yet supported!)...


    Edit: Repos are:


    Code
    just like normal repos: 


Add to /etc/apt/sources.list


deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/ alchemist main contrib non-free
or 
deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/ alchemist_beta main contrib non-free


    But I'm waiting for someone to do a full guide which shows how to properly replace the lib and the kernel without bigger trouble!

    I'm waiting for InHomeSharing to start. Then I will get a i3 or maybe i5 NUC. That thing will simply run Win8.1 with XBMC and Steam... A friend of mine does it already....

    Windows 8.1 sucks... I just got a new Lenovo Y510P laptop it came with 8.1 I used it for like 15 minutes and wiped the whole drive off...I make a clone image of whole disk drive just in case I changed my mind. I then installed Windows 7 and Linux Mint 16 then installed VituralBox inside Linux Mint and works great. I only run Windows 7 to play games and if I need to watch Netflix I just fire up Vituralbox inside Linux.


    Windows 8.1 on a touch screen maybe... but for mouse and keyboard Windows 7. Right now everything works out of box with Linux Mint and I really have no need for Windows 7 unless I need to run a windows only program.


    Is it just me or does Windows 8.1 suck.

    It sucks for sure, but I familiarised with it really fast.

    Its not so bad on tablets but on with a mouse and keyboard it's bad....like sucky bad.


    All Microsoft had to do was make 2 versions of Windows 8 and call it


    Windows 8 Classic
    Windows 8 Touch


    And for retail box versions you would have the option to install either version on a new pc. Windows 7 was fine they could have just added the speed improvements of Windows 8. Like what they did with Vista they fixed it up and called it Windows 7


    Now Microsoft wants us to use a new UI and they call it progress. Sorry Microsoft but I'm not learning your new UI unless I have a touch screen. So bye bye Windows 8, 8.1 and hello Windows 7. It's like XP and Vista all over again it seems Microsoft never learns. If I have to use a Windows machine it's going to be XP or Windows 7 but when April comes bye bye XP and Hello Windows 7 well at least until the year 2020.

    You know that you can boot straight to the Desktop on 8.1 without a hassle?

    Zitat von Dallev79

    I like the idea of having it all in one box. And for those that have powerful OMV rigs (...), this would be a nice feature.


    Okay, understood. Personally I prefer dedicated systems. For example: If my mediaserver fails, all my data (thousands of images) will stay because of a separate system. When I'm sometimes playing games, I boot from an external HDD - internal HDDs are not mounted in that case. My Win7-Machine is just a host with no web-access. Surfing is done with a VM and Linux.


    Different types of users. :)
