Stop minimizing my freedom, this is a forum through!

#44

You’re still a failtroll.

#45

#46

He may not be a troll, but he sure is a failure.

#47

Maybe the shotgun I’ve got in my mouth tastes better when I pull the trigger…

#48

It will taste like English sauce.

#49

#50

Hey, lets dont make this thread a hate thread against Drasar! Also Drasar, i respect your meaning, i just think it is stupid.

#51

you guys make penguins sad

#52

After that post, by some reason, I want to speed up global warming… or is it just a side-effect of using windows?

#53

From Linux steam to trigger position dependent shotgun flavor to windows induced global warming, this thread has it all :stuck_out_tongue:

#54

I just installed Ubuntu again, off to wait for steam!

EDIT: of course, i dual-boot with Windows 7.

#55

Although ashamed to say, I don’t know how to use any Linux distribution :frowning:

I mainly use Windows because I use my machine for gaming and sometimes office applications

#56

I’m a Linux user for a long time, am I the only one who prefers to suffer with Wine than with dual-booting?

Surely FPS is a little compromised, but it is fast enough for me not to care. When I choose to buy some games I’m limited to the games that work under wine (with or without workarounds and minor problems), but I will also be limited to buy the games that have native Linux ports when Steam is released for Linux.

I would be happy if Steam was released for Linux. That would mean that developers could port their games for Linux without worrying with sales and deliveries, better FPS, less problems, hopefully better graphic card drivers… And, if a significant amount of Steam clients get installed in Linux, the old “small market share” problem could be proven wrong (or not).

#57

Hey, I just realized, it may be more fun if steam worked on Linux! More people, just like when mac got Steam and most likely a new tf2 hat!

#58

Mac got Linux… Hum, I didn’t know that :3

#59

Drasar, go away from the forums and never come back.

#60

You’ll learn. You just need to pray to the Linux gods and hope they’ll come to your rescue.
