As far as Linux support goes: people need Wine to run most games. Since April 26th, Ubuntu has been uploaded with non-wine screen caps of Left 4 Dead 2. I am surprised that searching did not show a thread about this.

[quote="Michael Larabel"]No Wine library or anything else for "fake" support," Larabel writes. "This is on an Ubuntu 11.10 installation with the AMD Catalyst Linux driver.[/quote]
[quote="Tom's Hardware"]So, what's the hold up? According Larabel, Valve has been working on Linux support for quite a while but a lack of structure meant things moved kind of slowly until Gabe Newell got involved with the project.[/quote]
Now that Gaben has started working on the Linux project we can expect a much sooner release for Linux. Obviously that means Valve games will have Linux support. Ubuntu/Debian will most likely be first; as they are the most popular and share installation packages.

I looked pretty hard and Found nothing. I know it is a little late but I just asked many Steam friends and they are unaware of this. Especially the fact that Gabe Newell is on the project.
If I were to point out the Job opening for the Linux engineer, That would be much older.

I am intimidated to steal the pictures haha. But I wont, of course.
Thanks for the link, guy. Also I think the Tom's Hardware source would help a bit more. As most people use Tom's Hardware for other things...

Search for Wine and then find out that you're supposed to install a window system server?

I don't know the exact package name, X is supposed to be the result of the search.
