Personally I would have thought cs go would have came out first

There no mac port for cs 1,6 even, really shows gave commitment to Linux

Haven't played have life on decades. I was a tolldler the last time I played it

^ I still wonder when Valve will add Black Mesa to steam. It passed the greenlight but still nothing. Its built on source so I hope the community that built it will port it to mac/linux too.

Is that horse meant to be me? Or is it congratulating me on clicking (which I didn't do since the URL told me everything I needed to know about what you linked to)?

Either way, I am highly offended. You internet rapscallion.

Interesting to see 1 % usage for something that's still in beta. Although, I imagine the stats are slightly skewed in that someone could have quite easily just tested the Linux beta for about 30 seconds and then went back to Win client.

Still, 1% of 6 million steady users is still a healthy figure.

Can we also assume that "other" will be mostly other Linux OS's? Probably not, but I would say it's a good portion.

no ,because this works both way , somebody could have been on ubuntu all day and was asked to test it the second he was in windows.
If you are in windows and you say no to the survey , thats it goodbye , **** off -your not in it

NO- others is not other linuxs' as this "other" was there before linux. But it may be some people using arch and other. I would say mint is ubuntu for the propose of this along with kbuntu and others

same too- well i dont use docs
but if i ever say to somebody to change to linux because the pc was f ucked the first thing they ask " can i get word"
If you can say yes period it can only add to the linux count ... also with the games coming to linux too , it can only be a plus imo

So heres alittle question.

What distro is everyone using here? I know Steam is supported for Ubuntu first and foremost but it seems every distro is running it by now.

bpb101

well , i had 12.10 on my desktop but went back for 12.04 for stability. Use 12.10 on the netbook. And yourself?
i peg you for a mint person.

Ste_JDM

Nope. Im a Ubuntu user since 9.04. Not liking where 12.10 went so I remain on 12.04. I have played around with mint and it is nice. Cinnamon is possibly one of the best DEs Ive tried. Just wondering what are others take on some Distros too in terms of steam. Kinda want to have a plan B if 13.04 onwards continues to move towards target adverts.

i think 9.04 was the first time i touched on linux in a big way . Put zenwalk on and was turned off , not knowing much about linux and because the pc i was using wasnt great at all. I hade'nt got enough ram on it to get mandriva. Then I went bold and put debian - drivers and alll annoyed me and i went to ubuntu not knowing much about it and stuck with it since. I followed and supported the unity change and i went on from there. Didnt like the online search idea in the dash. I find it is like it flooding me with results. Also , when you click on the dash and you search. I dont see why it limits you to only recent apps . I think it just over complicating having recent apps and files . I think it should just be 1 search there. Dont mind the other searches though

Yes! I'm not a CS:S player myself, but it means other source games will be close behind.

CS pack 50% off. Or Buy GO at half price on its own. Worth the investment. I would say it lightly to come to linux within the month.
