From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash."

Nvidia strikes again. :)

That was literally my first day experience with new Steam client. :)

I enabled hardware acceleration and it ended up using all of the GPU memory in a relatively short time.
