Well, I tried to login at 10 on the dot and repeatedly hit errors until the site fell down.

Whatever their faults, Valve/Steam has been a huge proponent for gaming on Linux and helped push it forward more than just about anyone except those behind Wine I think. (Very much perception more than fact)

It certainly is exciting to see the progression of gaming on Linux. It will be fun to see how this is received among the community.

But based on some reading SteamOS 3.0 is coming, and the way it is talked about makes it sound like arch is the thing. Although I am not seeing any hard announcement of SteamOS 3.0 yet

*May* be a huge win.  Haven't we seen a few Linux-based consoles come out and not really move the needle at all?  Wasn't one of them from Valve?
