@quibit: That's good to hear. There's rumors floating around that Xbox One would require ~3GB of RAM for system resources. I guess someone interpreted 3 OS * 1GB = 3GB or something ...

I have not watched I/O 2013 that much but there seems to be some quite nice/fun stuff going on. I like new G+ design but I'm quite disappointed that they are going to drop XMMP support
Google Glass rooted and hacked to run Ubuntu live at Google I/O

"Nokia's position in the smartphone market dropped to No. 10 in the first quarter of 2013, from No. 8 in the fourth quarter of 2012."

Interesting event or just another conference?
At least Nokia should show some low-end models but maybe some new 920/9XX models as well. I guess the tablets rumors were debunked, so no W8 tablet from Nokia at least for now.
Personally I'm mostly interested what other Linux phones there's going to be shown addition to Android.

@itsnotabug: Well, there will be Ubuntu versions out soon and I would recommend to people use them anyway since Ubuntu has an official support for Steam and proprietary closed drivers.
My version has nothing special and all documentation is already in Fedora wiki pages. The small script to load a right driver has nothing special either (systemd service + tiny shell script).

@itsnotabug: I'm running Fedora instead of Ubuntu (officially support) so I can't say how it works on that.
Yes, video drivers required a bit of work because I used pre-built proprietary driver packages that conflicts with some other video drivers (because packager wanted so) - lines 61-67. Open source drivers works out-of-the-box without tweaks. I installed needed NVidia files without pre-built package. Additional to that I made a small tweak that checks what video card is in use and it chooses a video card driver according to that - like you predicted
I'm going to make my own packages in the future and use kickstart that builds whole system (bootable and installable ISO-file) with latest system/drivers/applications/etc. with one command.
I didn't have any problems with sound.

A good start but still long way to go. I guess we still have to wait big AAA games for Linux for a while especially from bigger publishers (EA, Activision) but I'm glad that so many Kickstarter games are going to be released for Linux (Steam)
I'm running my gaming Linux from hard disk over USB3 which works perfectly. I made a bootable USB stick which boots directly to Steam "Big Picture" UI - works without problems as well.

"To provide a leading browser on Android and iOS, this year Opera will make a gradual transition to the WebKit engine, as well as Chromium, for most of its upcoming versions of browsers for smartphones and computers."
"It makes more sense to have our experts working with the open source communities to further improve WebKit and Chromium, rather than developing our own rendering engine further. Opera will contribute to the WebKit and Chromium projects, and we have already submitted our first set of patches: to improve multi-column layout."
