The big SteamOS beta update that Valve shipped last month has now officially been released into the stable updates branch.

This is a very large update. It includes a new 4.11 Linux kernel, and updated drivers for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA graphics hardware. This update also switches SteamOS from the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO driver to the open source mesa driver. Debian 8.8 and security updates are also included.

    I remember folks who got a "Windoze" app and it wouldn't run on their 9x install.
    Turned out it was NT-only.
    ...and folks say that Linux is confusing with all those distros. Heh.

    2000 was the last one that didn't require Product Activation.
    After that, Windoze was dead to me.
    Not even interested in a dual boot.

    Oh, and I forgot to call the one between 7 and 10 "Tiles 8".
    Again, there are Windoze users who say that Linux would be a big change for them.
    Again: Heh.
