Motu Machfive 3.Steam engineer Jesse Burkman (left) has a clear vision for the future of software on Valve's Linux-based gaming platform. The company's new "Red Hat of gaming" is self-hosting on its own operating system, Valve says.
Developers of software applications and games for Linux-based systems have been looking at one common task for quite some time: getting as many developers and gamers as possible to write code for Linux-based platforms.
Up until recently, the odds of any particular developer or gamer using Linux as the platform of choice for a high-profile application or game were pretty low. Most developers or gamers used Windows because of its wide market acceptance and developer support.
Linux, on the other hand, had to work harder to attract developers and gamers to its platform.
"The problem we're trying to solve is that there's a large number of developers that could want to use Linux as a platform for software development, but it's difficult to get them to do so," Jesse Burkman, a senior engineer on the Steam content delivery service at Valve, said in an interview. "What we're doing is really helping developers become comfortable with Linux."
Although Burkman said he doesn't "see the end of Windows anytime soon," he said Linux is becoming a viable platform for game developers and gamers.
"The low barrier to entry on Linux means that you can have something up and running very quickly," he said. "And while you can do that on Windows, it's very complicated."
In a video interview, Burkman said Linux is now ready to be a "Red Hat of gaming."
Red Hat, a leading Linux software company, is famous for rolling out a stable and supported operating system with an array of software applications.
Burkman, who runs the Steam Linux Developer Services team, said Valve will be making a Linux-based distribution of its Steam gaming platform, the software that helps to bring online games to gaming PCs.
Steam, which is available in the Valve's Steam client for Windows and Mac OS X systems, allows users to download and play games from a software library and also offers a streaming and chat features.
The Linux Steam client will be similar to the Windows and Mac OS X clients in that it will include a library of games, a gaming area to play the games, and chat features.
