I recently installed Steam on my Ubuntu 14.04 Laptop and was positively surprised at how many titles are already available for Linux. Now I can finally play a quick game after work without having to reboot my machine to Windows, which is a true win ;)
I hope that the additional push created by this will help drive more "mainstream" users to Linux, which should help to make the whole ecosystem more mature and accepted.
- mattdeboard 12y agoDitto! Not to mention the fact that Xbox controllers (wired ones, at least) seem to be truly plug-and-play. They just work. I play BattleBlock Theater almost exclusively on Linux. Of course there are still some glitches. I can't play games while using Xmonad since the games don't play nicely with non-reparenting window managers. But if I load gnome it's fine.
- philsnow 12y agoThings seem to work better for me if I float the game window; maybe try that.
- mattdeboard 12y agoHow do you get the game window to float if it never appears? Like if I have the Steam window floating, for example, by dragging with mod+<left mouse>, if I just launch the game normally will it Just Work(tm)?
