Already own it on Steam...now just waiting for Steam to carry on Linux (note I bought the complete Jedi Knight series a while back before I planned on gaming on Linux).

More important, what game is that you are playing, looks like I might have to add it to my wishlist ;-) Also FPS counter yay!

It's been downloaded and awaiting this day...unfortunately bought it back in Nov 2013 before Linux was even on my radar...I feel so ashamed to say that.

Quoting: WaikanoThe only real potential downer is during 8 Hour Flash sales when I'm at work...on you know that crappy Widnows Machine.

You could use VNC to access your home machine for buying them while at work, or alter your browser's User-Agent string to the linux version of the browser you're using prior to purchase (see: list of user agent strings for various browsers [External Link] - click on your browser [or the browser you want to be identified as], then look for the user agent string that includes "Linux x86_64" or something). Some browsers support altering the User-Agent string natively, but most require an extension of some sort (Firefox [External Link], Chrom(e|ium) [External Link].

Alternatively, just make sure you install and play all games on a linux machine for at least a couple of minutes in those first seven days.

Chrome doesn't require an extension/plugin just use the Developer Tools (Just have to know the String). I have already looked into it since I didn't even think about it (damarrin beat you to the punch), in the past I typically only use that feature for checking website code on different browsers instead of different platforms as well.

Also when gifting games I can't play them first..but for my personal collection yes that works fine as well...as long as there is already a Linux Port.

Change the user agent in your browser to pretend it's running on Linux? ;-)

I didn't even think about that...thanks for the tip.

Awesome now I can fudge the numbers even for the Steam Games I gift...just buy them on my Linux side...so as long as I don't gift them in the first week (store them in my inventory) I buy them they count as Linux even though the receiver of the gift might end up playing it on Windows. Does it work that way too? :woot:

I may need to increase the size of my Steam partition soon! :woot:

Yea I thought a Dedicated 240 SSD was going to be enough...already having to manage my games and looking at upgrading to a 512ish.
