Steam's January 2013 hardware survey is on, Linux is growing
5 Feb 2013 at 9:00 pm UTC

i looked those few days ago and im still wondering that were are the other linux distros counted?
i mean there are lots of Fedora, Debian and Arch users, as well as Gentoo and Mint and Suse

will Mint be Counted as Ubuntu? when i used Mint it had its own name under the hardware info.
same with my current Arch Linux, it shows the name there.

so my bet is that half of the Other Category is other linux distros and half of it is the rest of the weird operating systems/wine..

Edit: also as time passes im sure they will make the info to count the linux distros as Linux and Linux 64bit.
then have a separate Linux category where all the distro usage is counted.

John Carmack of id software chimes in on Wine gaming
5 Feb 2013 at 1:27 pm UTC

still wine is nice alternative to play the games that never get ported and it works really well with older games anyway.
i wouldnt mind if some good games are wrappen in wine, if we dont get limited features with it.
ofc i would take native ports over wineports every time.
sadly some of the native ports recently (hint HumbleBundle) have been so bad quality that the games run even better under wine :(

MaximB number 2 is the reason thats Euro Truck Simulator.

and number 3 u can find out from wikipedia or from their website by comparing two of their games.

anyway i think liam already sent the questions out.

Postal 2 now on Steam
16 Jan 2013 at 10:32 pm UTC

ayee :D
just played a little bit of multiplayer today, was quite fine.
now i have to find the correct ini files to increase the resolution, because max it had under video configuration was 1280x800 only. also need to increase FoV, because head starts to hurt with the default 85.
the problem however is that i dont find postal2.ini or user.ini files. and changing default.ini doesnt do a thing.
