Good thing they're starting to listen to the community!

Maybe they'll announce Half-Life Episode 3 soon! =D

I'll probably give this a try. I need to start getting use to Linux and learn things and such. So this should be a good excuse to do that!

 

[Dbad]

About time steam started listening to us!

 

[CrashRIT]

That's exactly what I was thinking! XD

Still not Half Life 3... way to delay it Valve...

The question is.. which version of Linux do we use? In the past I tried a lot of different versions because I had a *slowtop that I took to work with me to play movies when I was bored.

I've done Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Puppy, Xubuntu, Back Tracker for fun, and then some mini-versions meant for netbooks since that was a REALLY slow laptop..

I'm going to guess everyone is going to say Ubuntu or some version of Ubuntu.

*Slowtop is a old/slow laptop.

 

[Naku_vamp]

I'd say this is valves official response to Windows 8 lol
