Hey All, I'd like to build my own Linux-based Game Machine, for the kids.
Their original request was a Console Machine (Sony PS4) but I thought I'd educate them with the Libre Software values... I didn't realize how hard it will be! They saved up their allowance and bought the following: Asus H10 Mini ATX Motherboard/ Intel i5 CPU w/integrated GPU 2X8 GB DDR4 RAM 256GB SSD 2X SteamControllers My original idea was to install SteamOS on it. It wouldn't install - got a black screen after the first boot. I ended up installing regular Ubuntu 16.04 and Steam client. I am not a Gamer, so I find it hard to configure the Steam Controllers and finding games - and make them work. My kids are 11 and 12 years old, and don't have the skills necessary - yet... A friend from work told me to cut my losses and buy them the PS4 with a couple of controllers and thus get rid of the head ache... I am kinda tired of this - the whole thing started last September. Almost a year ago! I am writing to you with hope that one of you out there will be willing to come over and help me out with making it work. I live in Haifa. Any thoughts / pointers / ideas / constructive criticism will be appreciated. Amichai Rotman.
