My hero.

The only reason I use windows is for games, if it werent for that I'd be running some kind of linux. Mint maybe, I've always liked linux mint.

After using linux for years and coming back to windows there are so many things just wrong with it.

Hallelujah!

The only thing, and I mean the only thing for which I use Windows is for gaming. Linux is my mainstay. Ubuntu is a rock solid FREE FREE FREE great OS that leaps and bounds beyond Windows. I am so glad to see this happen.

Would all games run in Linux without the use of wine? I just installed lubuntu on an old machine to see how a Linux platform works. I like it but it seems like a bit of extra work using it for games.

I will say this the old machine using Linux(lubuntu) seems faster than my wife's new prebuilt with win 7 loaded.

I would assume if STEAM runs on Linux then any game you get through STEAM will in fact run on Linux as well. I mean games that are "Windows" only kind of stuff that are now on STEAM are MAC compatible.

I for one would do a dual boot because not all my software would run on Linux but I would love to be gaming on Linux for sure. So much better then windows.

I assume it would be similar to the Mac client, meaning making games available on Linux is still at the discretion of the developer/publisher.

It's still great news, though. I think Steam's presence has helped increase the number of Mac ports, so I would expect to see some of the same on Linux. If they can build it up enough, there are a lot of PC gamers who would love to make the switch. I know my least favorite part of building a new rig is spending $100 of my budget on Windows.

That could go to better use buying a videocard thats 100 dollars more.

Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
