Torvalds: SteamOS will "really help" Linux on desktop
================================================================================
Linus Torvalds has welcomed the arrival of Valves Linux-based platform, SteamOS, and said it could boost Linux on desktops.
The Linux creator praised Valve's "vision" and suggested its momentum would force other manufacturers to take Linux seriously - especially if game developers start to ditch Windows.
"I love the Steam announcements I think that's an opportunity to really help the desktop," he said, speaking at LinuxCon in Edinburgh.
Valve announced SteamOS last month as a way to bring PC gaming to the living room. Users will be able to install the system on PCs they build themselves, and Valve will make the system available to manufacturers to use on their own hardware.
> I love the Steam announcements I think that's an opportunity to really help the desktop
Should SteamOS gain traction among gamers and developers, that could force more hardware manufacturers to extend driver support beyond Windows.
That's a sore point for Torvalds, who [slammed Nvidia last][1] year for failing to support open-source driver development for its graphics chips. Now that SteamOS is on the way, Nvidia has opened up to the Linux community, something Torvalds predicts is a sign of things to come.
"Im not just saying itll help us get traction with the graphics guys," he said. "Itll also force different distributors to realise if this is how Steam is going, they need to do the same thing because they cant afford to be different in this respect. They want people to play games on their platform too."
"Its the best model for standardisation," he added. "I think good standards are people doing things, saying 'this is how we do it' and being successful enough to drive the market."
### Pretty login screens ###
Another reason Linux hasn't done well on desktop, according to Torvalds, is because developers focus on useless UX features.
"Linux is doing wonderfully well in so many different areas, but I still am somewhat disappointed about the fact that Linux desktop is this morass of in-fighting and people who do bad things," he said.
"I do hope the desktop people will try to work together, and work more on the technology than trying to make the login screen look really nice," he added.
Torvalds wouldn't mention specific companies, but has [previously championed Googles Chromebook Pixel][2], which runs on the Linux-based Chrome OS - describing other PCs as "crap" by comparison.

TorvaldsSteamOS将“真正帮助”Linux桌面系统实现逆袭
================================================================================
Linus Torvalds非常欢迎Valve公司的SteamOS系统入驻Linux平台表示它将大力推动Linux桌面系统的发展。
Linux之父大力赞扬Valve的“独到眼光”表示这一合作将迫使其他生产商开始认真重视Linux特别是游戏开发商们将开始摒弃Windows。
他在上周三爱丁堡举行的LinuxCon大会上说道“我爱Steam —— 我认为这是一个能真正帮助Linux桌面系统的大好机会
Valve上个月发布了关于SteamOS的声明表示这将是一种把PC游戏带入起居室的新体验。用户可以在自己任意的PC电脑上安装SteamOS而Valve将在另一端负责SteamOS匹配各个生产商的硬件系统。
> 我爱Steam —— 我认为这是一个能真正帮助Linux桌面系统的大好机会
硬件生产商们也将大力扩展对Windows以外系统的驱动程序支持而SteamOS将以此获得更多游戏玩家和开发商的青睐。
说到这一点就涉及到了Torvalds的痛处。去年Nvidia宣布放弃支持开源系统图形芯片的驱动开发他对此进行了[猛烈抨击][1]。如今SteamOS选择了LinuxNvidia的大门重新对Linux社区敞开Torvalds预言这预示着新的发展机会即将到来。
他说“我并不是说它单单只是帮助我们吸引显卡厂商的注意它还迫使Linux的各个发行版意识到Steam是一个发展趋势他们必须抓住这个趋势因为一旦落下被孤立发行版们是负担不起的他们都想让人们在自己的平台上运行这套系统玩游戏。”
“这就是‘标准化’的最佳例证,”他说,“我认为好的标准能使人们事半功倍、信心满满,足以推动整个市场的发展。”
###漂亮的登录窗口###
Torvalds表示Linux在桌面系统领域一直表现不佳的另一个原因是开发者们总是专注于毫无用处的用户体验特效UX features
“Linux始终在各个领域表现都非常出色但我还是对Linux桌面系统的现状多少有些失望内耗、不干正事、一团糟。”
他还补充道“我真心希望Linux的各个桌面系统能携起手来更多专注于技术而不是总想着如何让登陆窗口看起来更漂亮。”
Torvalds并没有提到某个具体的公司但之前[他曾对Google的Chromebook Pixel大加赞赏][2]认为跟基于Linux的Chrome OS比起来其他PC就是一坨“crap”(译者注这个单词读shi第三声)。
