Anyone tried Cs go on an ati card ?
On steamOS no, On linux yes (290x)
Every source game runs fine on it @ 1440p.
Side note, they've just released Bioshock inf. for linux too
Does seem to be gaining traction some what to me

I would say that within the 6 months, Linux will have a surge of support, not just from valve but also other developers, specially with titles like witcher 3 coming to it.
That surge has already started, we are just waiting for releases now.

I'd say current releases are more a trickle than a surge, we need big AAA titles from big publishers to enter the Linux market, only then will people take the platform serious as a gaming alternative to windows.

It's all very encouraging that's for sure... What worries me though is when enough momentum finally builds up and more people start to take notice - will there be a Linux distro waiting in the wings which truly gels with the masses? It won't take much for a Windows users to suddenly go "Aaarrgh! I don't like this I can't do X,Y,Z that I used to do in Windows" and potentially be put-off switching OS even more than they perhaps already are

They've all been known for ages
There's no surge.
How long is ages?

*Some* titles have had announced support for months (And still no support)
Seems like a collection of trickles in one post to seem like a surge to me.
Since launch I've been skeptical of success, and well, I'm still skeptical.
I think every body is to be fair, including Dev's/publishers. A few have surprised me though. Batman, Shadows of mordor and what not. Still like others have said, It will take the likes of COD/Battlefield franchises and games of that ilk before it's taken seriously.
That's my gut feeling anyway. Being a long time Linux user it is looking quite rosy from what we've had in the past

Meh... let the bloatware OS and underpowered consoles keep their bland cookie-cutter "AAA" shooters for all I care

While I agree to a certain degree, that's what it will take before major adoption is taken up. whether you or I like them is irrelevant, when they sell by their millions. that's what counts to the major titles/publishers.

What will really be the defacto yes or no to linux from major developers is if in November/December, Valve can turn around as say "hey we've shipped a million steam machines since launch" and even more importantly several hundred thousand VIVE VR headsets
What drivers should I be using for AMD, default or catalysis?
Just installing the cat drivers, the default ubuntu ones have crazy fps drops in cs go
Back to windows i5 / 280xt / 8gb and the fps is going down to 30 from 60 in 8 v 8 cs
Success, ran the following cmd and all is well solid frame rate no random dips
' sudo aticonfig --initial'
