All GNU/Linux gaming discussion. Developers welcome!
Pros:
On Linux you'll get better performances than Windows once devs port the games.
Your system is malware free.
Your system won't crash as much as Windows.
You can use Linux for a year without rebooting.
By not buying Windows you can use the money to buy games instead.
Remember, no tux, no bux:
1. Don't trust a company when they promise a linux release, wait until the official release.
2. Don't be ashamed to post on the game forum or steam discussions for telling developers to port a game you wanna play on linux.
3. Wine is great when you want old tittles or that aren't high on resources.
4. The unique solution to gaming on linux is to force developers using openGL / vulkan / game engines permitting a cross platform software.
5. When you see a developer supporting Linux promote him as much as you can on forums, write about him on your blog and tell your friends how much you appreciate his effort. Remember, Gabe Newell believes in you.

Steam, Gabe and HL* are all closed source walled garden shitwares that take freedom away from users.

How has SteamOS been doing? Is any manufacturer of Steam Boxes bundling SteamOS or is everyone going with Windows?

Steam machines were a huge jokes.
I don't know why so many manufacturers made steam boxes and started to sell them. Steam OS is still in beta. Selling them was a stupid thing and in fact, they didn't sold a lot of steam machines.
Steam OS is just a debian based distribution that start with big picture.
More generally :
nvidia performances are still good and it supports the 1070, 1080 and 1060
amd is still working on an open source drivers and are contributing a lot to the kernel. Their performances are okay, their vulkans performances are pretty good on the 480.
More games comes to linux.

Preinstalled software is a big plus just like availability, don't forget service oriented businesses make good money with that. They got to be the first offering this bundle in a young market, so what?
