[wraggster]

With the release of SteamOS (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/13/12/14/0045211/valve-releases-debian-based-steamos-beta), developing video game engines for Linux is a subject with increasing interest. This article is an initiation guide on the tools used to develop games (http://anki3d.org/developing-games-linux-steamos), and it discusses the pros and cons of Linux as a platform for developing game engines. It goes over OpenGL and drivers, CPU and GPU profiling, compilers, build systems, IDEs, debuggers, platform abstraction layers and other tools.
