Hazelnuts are also known as filberts or something right? Just pitching in some synonyms to help with the puzzle maybe.

Valve & HTC launch the Vive VR device, without Linux & SteamOS support

I tried HTC Vive out last night on Gentoo and Ubuntu. SteamVR wouldn't function for me. It acted exactly as it does without a device connected. Alas.

But there have been recent steam updates for SteamVR so I think they're still on track to support us.

Lifeless Planet sci-fi adventure game now available in Beta for Linux

Yep, I was able to enter the code "mysteriousPlan" there .. but it still isn't available for the Linux platform. Looks like the depots are also not there for the package IDs we have. I let the dev know on the Steam thread.

Also, a bit offtopic .. I'm torn between devs getting money and encouraging people to buy linux games .. anyway, the game is on sale here for about $7 USD

Looks pretty interesting and I'd be up for testing .. but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $15 on a game that might not work.

Aww heck, I'll take one for the team ;)

Update: Picked it up for $7.87ish here

I've been unable to join any games, but I have had Hunters join my games. The players who have joined were running Windows while I was on Gentoo.
