according to steam hw survey, over 50% use nvidia GPU's - so i dont see why not.
many games on windows use physx... todays CPUs are good for doing it on CPU side anyway..if nvidia hadn't put some special code into this to make it perform worse on CPUs

i don't think so... but they said that its nearly impossible to make multiplayer for Don't Starve because it was written with single player in mind from the ground up. But they admited that its highly requested from community. Would be stupid to not make one :)

theres also modding support but i dunno if its possible to even make multiplayer mod for don't starve.
if it is... its pretty hard i imagine

it would be superb to survive and not starve with friends.

hope they make multiplayer for Don't Starve 2

looks interesting indeed..i tested demo also quite some time ago.
performance is not that great for 2 reasons: first its unity3d engine which is known to have perf problems under linux and secondly they are using opencl which is weakpoint of nvidia gpu's.

__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATION=1 %command% helps a lot though

too bad no multiplayer.. othewise seems pretty solid
flying with airship is done pretty good, its a bit arcadish, but not too much.. takes a little time to get used to controlling it.
Fighting against A.I is not really my thing...

nice work Half-Shot
great to see the drivers are improving.

but. as i see you have high end card (7950) which costs ~260€ here and you get 25 fps in TF2.
thats still not good enough. with ~120€ nvidia 650TI boost you can get at least twice this framerate, not to mention same priced 670 or 760 ...

still long way to go in terms of performance.
but at least games are now somewhat playable with super high end ati cards it seems

Quoting: tuxisagamerI wonder if Kubuntu shows up as Ubuntu or other.

check your cat /etc/lsb-release

the part where it says:
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Arch Linux"

thats detected, so if you have Kubuntu there, then you are not in the Ubuntu list

people without lsb package are under general "Linux 64bit" or "Linux 32bit"

missing announcer and wheatley voice [External Link]

other than that works perfectly

edit: voices has been fixed..

need to rename libmiles.so to LibMiles.so in the Portal 2/bin folder though

Quoting: PKMDid anyone else notice that the Steam counter for Linux games went from 538 to 338? What's up with that?
You can find the counter by going into the Linux games tab, it just says "games".

doesnt count DLC's anymore i guess
