Steam's October Hardware Survey - Linux Still Holding Itself Up
18 November 2013 at 1:53 pm UTC

Quoting: Quote from intok
Quoting: Quote from QantouriscAlso on top of the not-getting-survey: how accurate are these tests ? Are they accurate to 0.03% ?!?
In your Steam client go to

Help > System Information

This is the data sent to Valve for these surveys. Why they don't just gather this data at login I'll never understand.
I would like that as well. It should be opt out instead of opt in and should be for everybody, not a random sample.

Finally indeed. That took longer than expected!

Unigine Heaven: How Does Ubuntu 13.04 Compare To Windows 8?

Thank you very much for this video! You do them very well, Sabun, so please continue your good work. There's also something about your voice...I can't pinpoint it, but to me it sounds like you're genuinely interested and inquisitive i.e. you're displaying a very good attitude! Like I said, please continue your good work! In addition, have you thought of trying a distro that uses KDE with "Suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows" checked? That's supposed to give a significant boost to one's frames per second when playing a game, so with Ubuntu being so darn close to Windows in performance, a distro like Manjaro running KDE should do even better!

Looks intriguing, but will there be more guns than just pistols?

Quoting: SamsaiEdit: Removing the appcache actually might affect installing games on Steam, but we have mixed results about that.
After reading that, I decided not to apply this fix just yet. I am way too risk averse for that!

Half-Life: Source & Half-Life Deathmatch: Source Come To Linux

Quoting: Quote from n30p1r4t3I honestly don't think L4D1 will be ported. Why? Because L4D2 has all the maps and characters as the first just with different gameplay mechanics. Also, I don't think L4D1 is that popular anymore for the above reasons (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes I would love to see another game on Linux, but if the technical side outweighs the practical, why bother?
Plenty of people do still play it; different gameplay mechanics being one reason. But the logic is flawed if you consider the games that have just been ported (same as HL and HL: DM but with ragdolls, water physics and lighting). 
That is exactly my thinking as well. What you said pretty much invalidates any reason not to port Left 4 Dead. I would quite like to see it on Linux myself considering how I paid for it.

Good watch. Glad to see these developers embracing Linux support. Their view on Windows gaming was quite an interesting one as well!

QuoteThey need to do an updated video to show it all off, maybe that's a job for us if anyone would like to see an up to date video of it in action?
That sounds like a wonderful idea, Liam. I would definitely want to watch that.
