SteamOS 01/13/2014 alchemist_beta update
  • Fixed github issue 16 - Leftover "7" in PRETTY_NAME in /etc/os-release
  • Fixed github issue 34 - Not critical warning message: No such key `ubuntu-lock-on-suspend'
  • Fixed github issue 64 - Workaround for Debian bug #601670
  • Merged in Debian Wheezy bugfixes for apt, expat, gnome-settings-daemon, gnupg, gtk+3.0, nspr, pixman, tzdata, curl, libxfont, openssl
  • Made uinput a kernel builtin rather than a module and added a udev rule to allow for the steam user to access it
  • Reduced CPU and GPU usage while games are running by interrupting Big Picture and overlay rendering
  • Fixed an issue where two cursors would appear on screen when a game was starting of exiting
  • Fixed tearing issues on AMD platforms by having the SteamOS compositor now specifically requests vertical retrace synchronization rather than relying on the implementation's default
  • Improved compatibility with the Debian wheezy repositories by widening the scope of the SteamOS binary package repository

The audio configuration panel in Big Picture mode is still a work in progress, yes.

DiegoPeter; are you still running into this? A Steam client hotfix was pushed out to address the repeated crash on startup.

Upgrading Pulse isn't something we were considering; what specifically were you looking at in newer versions? If there are specific, critical features or bug fixes that would justify it it would be good data for us to know about.

most of it is bug fixes, but the better bluetooth support, and, performance improvements. are nice too.

The OS is getting a lot smoother already, even on AMD :)
interface , game loading , game playing all have taken a huge leap in performance for me .

while in game performance has increased it is still not has good has in desktop mode.
in desktop i can play portal maxed out with 8x aa and v-sync on with a hd7770
in steamos it stutters (a lot less than it did originally but still not the same)

but hey you guys are doing a great job, in a short time the performance really improved a lot.
