1 edit | Steam for linux: Beta on Ubuntu 12.04 »steamforlinux.com/?q=en/node/122···inux.com
quote:
For those who missed it, the public beta testing of the Steam Linux client is intended to be started this month, while the number of participants will initially be limited to 1000. Also, at the beginning, only Ubuntu 12.04 is going to be supported. For all of you who could hardly await the release of Steam for Linux, there is a way to run Steam on Linux using CrossOver or even enjoy a great game collection natively on Desura in the meanwhile.
But I'm sure there will be those that find a way to get it to run on older versions of Ubuntu. Sucks they are limiting the beta at first to just a thousand, but it also makes sense.

| Re: Steam for linuux: Beta on Ubuntu 12.04 Yay for KF - and kudos to Tripwire. I remember when it ran native as a UT2K4 mod. Glad they made that move, though I doubt it was hardly "unreal"istic to port it back. (haw haw)

I hope they provide Steam for GNU/Linux in general. Release the usual rpm/deb/*.gz packages or yum/apt/emerge/pkg_add ways of adding software.
Heck, it's mostly just the games, the Steam Linux "client" has been around for years, if you count the dedicated server update tool. :P |

I really hope they bring Red Orchestra 2 as well to Linux. I have been having a lot of fun with that game. |

Re: Steam for linux: Beta on Ubuntu 12.04 I wish they'd update the blog more often... last update was the 26th of September.

It would be nice to see The Last Remnant be natively ported to Linux, even though the game is a bit too demanding in my AMD A6-3400 with a built-in AMD Radeon HD 6520.
Even though I'm a JRPG guy, I found The Last Remnant's battle system a bit too complex to understand. Sometimes I blindly make choices and did not realize I took items away from other unions all the time...whoops!  |

I think its time to start dual booting my main machine again. Right step in the right direction. When I get my hands on it, I will be testing it on mint KDE  |

Applied, using targeted system.
I doubt I'll be getting in this round, but looking to find out more, and maybe get in the next round, or get notified early about the public beta...

Same here. I registered early, I'm assuming all the friends of the family got into this one, and I'm hoping I'll be onto the next one.

I could've helped my case if I actually ran Ubuntu instead of Debian.
But that ain't gonna happen.
