What operating system will you be playing Starbound on?

Windows.

 

Yeah I googled "weird operating systems" and an article featured it, ReactOS looks very promising for gamers wanting to ditch windows. I tried once before but soon gave up after failing to get wine or playwithlinux to work on zorin and fedora. (Probably should of at least tried ununtu)

 

No opensuse! well I guess when you use an os not that many people use you get used to it.
so I will be using opensuse xfce,mabye gnome if I get a better laptop, addition.
I am thinking of getting a pre-built steam os console.

 

I'm using it on Win7 x64
I have Arch Linux on my laptop though, If I can confirm Civ 5 and Skyrim's ability to run well under WINE I will probably
switch my desktop over to Arch Linux with Steam for Linux on it (Starbound)

Failing all else this computer is a piece a crap so I might just put linux on it and use it as a "web-browsing/starbound box" as I am currently
since my "good" PC died a horrible death thanks to being in 2 house fires, being moved around, pretty sure my i7 died Q_Q

quick edit: For the curious, both fires happened within a week. My house has since been rebuilt and I'm living in
it currently ^-^

more edit: Arch doesn't support debian packages T^T
If I want steam on linux it has to be a Debian based distro, here I was hoping for my ArchLinux/i3-wm
combo to be all I ever needed lol.

Stuck using this crappy AMD and DDR2 Ram lol, instead of i7 & DDR3

 

I'm playing Starbound on Archlinux myself (on a laptop) and it runs very well

Although Steam officially only support debian based distros, it is included in Arch's official repositories (the package's name is "steam", simply install it as you would install anything else).

 

^ That is awesome, I just hope it's actively kept up to date, compatibility and all that..


edit: sudo pacman -Q steam
couldn't find steam. It's x64 but I do have multilib enabled in the /etc/pacman.conf file.

 

Being in the official repositories, it should be very up to date : last update was made on december the third. Have fun playing on Arch

edit : ^ try "sudo pacman -Sy steam"?

 

Linux - trusty ol' Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

 

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

 

Windows 8 64-bit

 

lol I'm an idiot sometimes. Forgot to do
sudo wifi-menu wlo1
sudo pacman -Syu

xD

 

hello, as SteamOS is avaible now for download, anybody checked if SB can run on it? As im highly interested in playing on it?

 

You realize the thread had been dead for more than a month right?

and you realize the thread has been dead for almost a week right?

 

well I just wanted to ask something, I found a thread that corresponds with my question so I "dig" it up. You prefer that I create a new thread?

 

SteamOS is linux based, so yes.

 

There's no rule against necroposting, so long as your reply is on-topic.

To answer OP, Linux, because I plan on doing a lot of modding, and it's much easier to do so. Plus, it runs beautifully.

 

Windows 7

 

Which is why I didn't report the post, I just told him he revived a dead thread.

 

I'm playing on Manjaro Linux which is an Arch based.

I'm always surprised to see how many people use Wine. I find it pretty unmanageable for playing game, with all the versioning and tweaking you have to do, and then often the end results aren't what's reported in wineappdb. Good on you guys for making it happen. I do use vmware to run a few windows games here and there.

 

Just to confirm - It does work on steamOS (I've played it on the alienware x51 under my TV)
