I've just built a PC out of my old parts for the living room and i'm tempted to give steamOS a try and I'm jwondering about the drivers for my 270X.

Has anyone else used them with the same card? Any issues?
 
Cheers guys, I'll give it a go if they're better now. It's a pita trying to click stuff in windows with a mouse on a sofa!
 
Thanks for that Pete.

I got it up and running yesterday and most of the games I could play ran well. The downside is most of the games I play with a controller either don't have Linux support or are keyboard/mouse only which is a shame. (I should have checked first!)

SteamOS is good. The default installation didn't work as I think there was some issue with the display drivers during installation but the custom installation worked a treat.

Hopefully more games will get support for Linux, I'd be surprised if Valve aren't pushing it considering a ton of Steam boxes are due to be released.
