STEAM on Linux BETA

[verzx]

They are aiming to get all steam games that are available on Windows working on Linux right? (In the end.)

If steam is fully compatible with all games on Linux then i'm sure Linux will be used 100x more than it is today, so not only would it be good for games but good for Linux users in general. Actually can't wait until it's fully released and working.

Every Steam game? Not a chance.
Every Valve game? Still no.
Every Source game? Maybe.

It's unclear what the extent will be, but Valve is obviously putting a lot of effort into this.

I think that in the long term it would be reasonable to expect a number of games similar to what they have available on Mac.

That's a let down. Would be amazing. Windows would become extinct to me.

I lost access to Serious Sam3. I didn't buy this game but I'm in closed beta and I played early.

Anyone have or had the same?

Same here, the beta is suspended.

BTW tomorrow I will publish my 2-weeks work. I am nearly dead enough... I've tested 17 GPUs using Serious Sam. Graphics drivers are a pain in the **** and the game itself have a lot of bugs, for example you have to re-start the game everytime you change any settings in the Performance tab or you (randomly) drop some performance.

Anyway, let me give you a sneak peek:

I just got in now, and now I just have to wait for a program that will play my Blu-Ray's without decrypting them and then I can almost without a doubt say 'Goodbye Windows partition, it was nice knowing you!!'

I just checked my e-mail, and guess what, I'm in! I guess that means they're expanding to non-Ubuntu users, because I definitely put Arch in the original survey, and now I'm in, so that's a good sign I think.
