Ah OK got it, you're right it was more "they/it/Steam work/works for me" not a scientific assessment, thanks. The percentage was supposed to be like witty or something. My system isn't even a serious gamer

The graphics in L4D2 are great, the game runs very fast on Ubuntu, Valve has done a great job. I hope more games keep coming to Ubuntu and Linux for Steam overall. I tried the Source SDK recently and the sample builds and runs successfully
