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.

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

That surge has already started, we are just waiting for releases now.
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'
