Quoting: edddeduckferal
Quoting: borartrHey, just bought the key from a Linux distribution on Steam, but not through client but through Firefox. Can someone explain whether that counts a Linux sale?? (Steam did register my OS and displayed corresponding games on the store page).
Yes it does
Do you know if buying on BundleStar and then using the Steam key under Linux counts?
We appreciate each and every crumb of information what is counted as Linux sale and what not.
Help us to help you. :)

Quoting: nocriCould someone report performance, details/resolution and graphic card ?
I am not sure whether to buy it since I have 740M and I'm worried about performance ...
Just wanted to write the same. :)
Any performance reports are welcome (my case would be a GTX660).

Quoting: nocriIts not something you would like to do on root partition, every other wont do much harm -- but CMON no one has steam data on root, right ?
This used to be the default of the file system.
So did you set it to differ from the default back then...?

Thanks for the tip but I dont want to risk losing my filesystem in case of powerfailure, I'd rather have it slow :)
You do not risk the whole file system, but just the last writes. I don't know about your place, but that's a safe bet here. If you want to have it even safer and still faster, you might try the tip from the comments, "commit=60".

Quoting: GuestBut I always get slow download speeds in steam, tried googling and some say dnsmasq improves it. Just tried that but no difference in speed. Anyone else had this and managed to fix it?
dnsmasq worked for me (of course, sometimes the servers are just slow), but some people suggested disabling write barriers as well (which used to be default some day, so I wouldn't consider it dangerous). Written down here:
