Isn't he just a guy that got a Steam Machine?
I think he is one of the lucky 300
Pretty sure that's not the case. In fact, if i recall, quite the contrary was stated at one point
The overall hint was "consoles suck, they have so much slower GPUs".
Steam Box's 1k GPU only occasionally shows performance that is twice that of PS4's GPU (which costs what, 7 times less?), which is nowhere as big deal as the OP implied with ridiculous "4 times faster" claims.

Bastion (doesn't work, gaffer in the comments said it also doesn't work for him with a DS3, but I recall another tester saying it worked for them with SC) :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li13FMud9iE

The 4x faster claim was about the XB1's GPU, not the PS4's!
And even XB1 GPU is NOT that slow (link to benchmarks are on the previous page) not to mention it's "vs consoles" not "vs XBone" comparison in this context.

The Last light Win vs. SteamOS comparison is off. Dude is running 4x SSAA on windows which absolutely murders fps.
Do we know what the quality slider enables and disables? I seriously doubt the max quality slider even enables SSAA.

Watch the vid to the end. He makes settings comparisons from 4:00 and later turns the Win settings a bit down. Linux version lacks tesselation, physx etc, but it seems the slider enables SSAA 2x?
No, SneakyStephan expressly stated the XB1 GPU, not the PS4 GPU (which is not the same speed as the XB1 GPU) and the approx avg of the gaming benchmarks on the Anandtech GPU comparison page between a GTX Titan and a HD7770 is 3.2x.
The controller looks infinitely more interesting to me than the box or OS at the moment. If this means a sort of Xpadder equivalent built into Steam, and auto downloading of the highest rated community control config upon game launch, then this could take controller support of PC games further than even X-input and the 360 pad did.
I'd like some improvements, like backlights showing how the controller pad is divided.

I'm hoping that slider is just temporary and they'll put in full settings later...
Edit:
New Guy playing. He seems to be better at controlling the controller. He also goes over key bindings for each game which is cool.

New guy (Trial By Game) just put up a Super Meat Boy video after I asked for it.

Spoiler alert! He plays it pretty good with the Steam controller!
