I liked the part about Moore's law. It would be interesting to see how hardware people are going to respond once we reach the limit. And dude, I am telling you he is going to divide developers between virtualization people and "real man".....😉

World beyond Moore's law is really much awaited and we have several products attempting that scale
Soon we will see Nano pass by and Pico tech come into play. Moving with electron's orientation approach looks promising hope it clears all loop holes

My all eyes on last announcement in LinuxCon. Something awesome is coming, I am sure.
Have you watched 45 min video of Linux kernel panel with Linus,Sarah,hartman & Tejun ? Insightful.

I didnt actually watch the video, but I did read what they said. And I agree, they indeed are planning something. As he mentioned about the increasing number of developers, I am sure it wont be difficult. They just need to open up a new path, everyone will go rushing into it.

Linus pointed one very good point about Moore's law. And that was quite obvious because, at some point doubling of transistors will get stop (maybe in 5 years), you cannot simply miniaturize the circuit as long as you want. There's a limitation of the semiconductors.
Linus seems more excited about Moore's law, because once moore's law will end, you won't new hardware architectures coming out as it now. Hence, Kernel hackers & device drivers don't have worry writing drivers for all latest hardwares that are coming out. No device driver work will remain & entire community of LK will focus in Kernel hacking for performance boost & tweaks.
Anyways there is no chance that user space can be increased, the hacker have to go for low-level programming for that. but, if it does; it will be miracle.
On side note : Valve's website has countdown of 36 hours right now. After 36 hours Steam-box (with god knows which features) will be announced.
Are you excited ?

Yeah, I guess once the speed of hardware development comes to an halt, developers will be able to concentrate more on utilizing it fully. May be, we wont need virtualization then!
Not a big game buff, but I sure am happy that a big player like Valve is turning to linux!

When I read about SteamOS, I was like man, they took linux too seriously! Anyways, I guess it's for good, a dedicated OS will help them to concentrate more to the development of only one thing.

They opted for Linux based distro, because it is free & above all it is gazillion times secure than Windows. Valve knows that OpenGL is better than DirectX. (Also many games have outperformed DirectX windows games. eg: L4D )
Gabe already mentioned in LinuxCon 2013 that Steam receives user-content patches, mods, tweaks,etc. few hundred times more than what Steam developers are coding itself.
This is one revolutionary move by Gabe. It will change entire PC gaming industry.
BTW, you'll see many derivative of SteamOS coming out soon. I just hope that SteamOS is not debian based (which I think, it will be)
Somewhere in the dark-dungeon, Gabe Newell & Mark Shuttleworth are planning to nail MS & their evil policies from root 😁

Why? I guess debian based OS are quite good.

Haha....they surely are and MS can see it coming, but they cant do anything about it. Poor chaps!

Undoubtedly, the largest repository compared to arch & rpm.
I have soft-corner for yum, nothing much. apt is so inconvenient [for me] ☕

Why always I have these exams whenever something I deeply love is about to launch ?
To be precise, 82 min remaining for next Valve announcement.
Is it Steambox ?

Best feature :
What's next now ? Half-life 3 ? 😨
There are so many things happening at once in Linux.
Anyways, good news : Gnome 3.10 released & it's very beautiful now.

If Valve's SteamOS, Steam Machine & Whatever shit that's coming after 5hr 15min, somehow succeeds in stimulating Linux game-development then well, Microsoft you're so dead.... DEAD! ha 😁
Sony,Nintendo & Microsoft are most worried companies atm.
