Gabe Newell confirms Steam for Linux on video
4 Jul 2012 at 9:06 am UTC

The reason I feel it is confirmation is the fact that he has emailed me to say yes it is coming and yes it will be before the end of the year and now on video he's talking Linux up, on podcasts he says about working with a Linux team....I don't think I am doing guesswork here I feel that is confirmation...based on the fact he did confirm it directly to me.

I just can't see it being anything else. That said even though he emailed me to say it will be out before the year is up I don't know if it will we all known what valve and timing are like.

Quoting: "Rustyboltz, post: 4818"Huh! been using it for a while, didn’t think this was new, Oh well guess i was using it unofficially.
Originally it was let out by accident it seems, now it's in BETA and official....although still buggy.

Edit > Their support fixed me issue, all my games show up now, happy customer me :)

So I tried out the demo of Harvest, seems like it could be pretty cool, only did the tutorial level so far though.

My laptop has no bios setting at all for Optimus the bios seems quite limited :(

I shall be watching from the side line hoping to see some progress on the Optimus front and keeping a Linux partition open. I will probably install Ubuntu 12.10 and keep up to date I'm hoping it will fix my hard lock up problems too - i really want that to go away as I like to develop websites on Linux as it has everything I need so easily :(

Hamish has also kindly joined the team to hopefully do reviews (was a long time coming we looked into a couple different mods for the forum but none do the job).

If anyone else would like to be able to post news please let me know, any help while I am playing a waiting game would be awesome.

I find my updates from reddit, other gaming webstes, game websites directly and people directly email them.

I cannot update my nvidia drivers from an official driver download as using Optimus the official installers don't install on Linux as it's not the main card (the current available 295 series thats via a .deb don't support my card, the 302 unstable series don't work and the guys from the bumblebee project where no help blaming the drivers, so I literally have no choice).

Also to add to it because of my hardware my desktop will freeze constantly, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes it can be an hour, no explainable reason either - pretty sure it's a driver issue that will be ironed out (i had the same thing a couple years back on my old but new at the time pc) so that's another reason I have to now use Windows.
