Since some games have started listing Linux as a supported platform in the Steam CDR, we can now keep track of what games will be there. Currently, the list goes:
The list is likely to grow during the next couple of weeks, since it's still missing most of the Humble Bundles - hopefully the devs will be putting their builds there. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
- World of Goo (+ demo)
- Eversion - new to Linux
- Trine 2
- Serious Sam 3: BFE (+ dedicated server) - new to Linux
- Galcon Fusion
- SpaceChem
- Steel Storm
- Solar 2 - new to Linux
- Dynamite Jack
- Crusader Kings II - new to Linux
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- Waveform - new to Linux

By the way, what do you find annoying about MojoSetup?
Posting this on a Linux forum = epic troll. Picking on something for being open source? Really? :rolleyes:
Their web interface is also getting better and better so if this upsets you so much you do not even need the client. Running with Scissors's recently dumped their own online download feature from their store in favour of Desura because you can just use it's web interface if you want. Plus, there is also the client if you want automatic update notifications and the like.
Edward Rudd uses Nixinstaller for his ports while Ryan Gordon uses MojoSetup. Rudd has been more active lately on the porting front (I guess Ryan having a wife and kid has finally managed to slow down his legendary prowess somewhat) so more and more of the Humble Bundle games are using Nixinstaller.
Personally, they both have benefits and flaws. Nixinstaller has more features but looks less professional as it leaves it's own branding in, while Mojosetup is more seamless and does not toot it's own horn. At least, that has been my experience.
The issue is not that it's open source or that it accepts community contribution, but instead that to many, it appears that the client has been abandoned by the organisation whose business it is meant to support.
The Desura client essentially has no function or usefulness beyond providing access to the Desura content servers/online store, so from some perspectives, it does seem fair to say that it's not so cool for the project to be essentially 100% community developed since the source was released. If I didn't personally believe there was hope for changing that situation, I would be probably staying as far away from it as possible.
Is there anything specifically preventing people from applying their own branding to Nixtaller (its sources and assets are available for modification after all)? I was under the impression that most developers/packagers just didn't bother doing so.
those installers let me choose where i want to install them and in my case im using /home on different hdd so i can install the games/steam to $HOME/Games
but its a matter of personal preference i guess.
i dont remember having troubles with mojosetup tho.
Both have been known about for a while, I already own Killing Floor so it's great for me!
