- nuclear_eclipse 14y agoHasn't stopped other distros from supporting Steam, with Valve's blessings no less. I use Steam on my Arch Linux machines with zero issues.
- gee_totes 14y agoI also a happy user of Steam on Fedora. I can run full-screen games just fine (been playing Faster than Light recently).
- fnordfnordfnord 14y agoCurrently using Steam on Linux Mint. Works as well as it ever has.
- ekianjo 14y agoMint being more or less a fork of Ubuntu, saying it works on Mint does not say much about the support for other distros.
- qdot76367 14y agoIt usually relies on the libc of the system too, which means you are REALLY limited to bleeding edge ubuntu for these normally. OpenNI has been horrible about this.
