    A linux-based, game centric OS for Home Theatre (and maybe just plain slow) home PCs! Apparently it will run 184 natively supported games on launch and more coming in 2014, with the rest of the catalog supported by in household streaming.

    Its just GNU/Linux with a custom IDE and a few pre installed programs, however, I think this will be quite a large step to get developers and publishers to formally recognise Linux as a platform for games. Anything that pushes Linux is fantastic in my opinion.
