All those who are trying it first hand, do share your feedback, I'm currently downloading the OS.
If it's Staem OS becomes a success story it'll be really good for the Open Source movement and PC gaming as a whole, and should batter consoles pretty bad.

Are you planning on installing it on your main machine directly or in Virtualbox?

I'll install it after 25th, I created the thread since there's no thread for it.
BTW it does not support multi-boot, so you may need a separate HDD for it.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, but at the moment I'm more inclined to install it inside VirtualBox or on a pen drive. Less risk

Won't run unless you virtualize an nvidia card in it via VMware ESX or something similar. The current version only supports the binary nvidia driver and doesn't work with anything else.

Oh damn, I forgot about that. Pen drive it is then.
