Analysis: Can SteamOS drag the PC game industry over to Linux?

Ars Technica- Right after I wrote up today's news regarding Valve's announcement of a Linux-based SteamOS as central to its living room PC gaming efforts, I tweeted the following instant analysis: "If anyone has the clout to drag the gaming industry towards Linux, it's Valve." After thinking about it for a bit, I think Valve has a better than decent shot of actually pulling the transition off, especially if it wisely utilizes its position as what amounts to the biggest first-party developer in PC gaming.

I hope this succeeds, but even if it fails we'll get something out of it.

i do to, but as long as games keep being made on windows ill be happy. I dont care for linux or linux based operating systems. Sure they have benefits, but i have too much software that runs on windows. I dont want to restart my computer and switch os just to play a game.

To Linux? No.
To Steam? Yes.

@kurylo
now you know how us linux users feel to have to restart into windows OS only to play games.
this is a step in the right direction for linux gamers. i appreciate the effort.

this wont change a thing, unless steam os has all the programs a windows gamer would ever need, masive driver libraries and the such. I dont see this making any game changing moves. ill check it out but ill still be using windows.

A os move is big. linux isnt all rainbows and sunshines.
