I don't know about official support but it's worked on Arch since the beginning

It works in pretty much any distribution, just not officially supported

I might reinstall Windows Linux at the same time
It automatically installed Ubuntu to my WD Green :suicide:
I've started to work on a way to boot steam and tf2 from the ubuntu livecd without having to download the whole thing. I'm setting up a windows VM right now.
It'll probably be a script that people will run and that will setup their fake steam environment.

I'm almost curious enough about this to make a Sabayon spin with Steam pre-installed and a login script. Would be pretty neat to enter not your unix login, but steam login and then boot up 10foot
[del]Stepping into Fedora 18 with a XFCE spinoff now, oh boy :v:[/del]

Unity sucks.
[QUOTE=.EDI;39613909]Unity sucks.[/QUOTE]
Unity is OK.
I like vanilla GNOME 3.x a lot more though, it's beautiful
Has anyone gotten AMD's 13.1 drivers working with kernel 3.7?
I'm running the 12.11 Beta drivers with a patch and TF2 is so ridiculously laggy. I'm so bothered by it.

Too bad its the slowest piece of shit ever.

Also, I'm still unable to boot Ubuntu 12.10 without nomodeset, and 12.04.2 is afflicted by the same problem. Welp :v:

Maybe if you're still running a p4 machine it is
I stopped using Openbox because GNOME is so nice

I'd love to use Gnome 3 or Cinnamon. But for whatever reason, the WM they use are ungodly slow on my T61. I know this isn't the best hardware ever, but c'mon. And yes, I am using the proprietary drivers. I'm afraid to try nouvaeu, seeing how "well" it worked with Ubuntu.
Right now I'm using Openbox, proooobably gonna hop back over to e17 stable.

Both run fine on my t61p, surely they aren't that different

My T61 has a T7300 @ 2 ghz, a NVS 140M, and 4GB DDR2
And yours?
I have a question, Ive just gotten steam for Linux and was wondering if they are ever going to add support for windows games/wine on steams native Linux client?
Right now it seems as if you have to run two versions of steam, a Linux one and a windows one.
Does anyone know?
No news in those regards yet, doesn't seem very likely.
Awh man, that seems really REALLY shitty.
Dangit..
So i tried to setup link aggregation with two 1Gbps nics with these settings:
[QUOTE]auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.11.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.11.0
gateway 192.168.11.1
slaves eth0 eth1
# jumbo frame support
mtu 9000
# Load balancing and fault tolerance
bond-mode balance-rr
bond-miimon 100
bond-downdelay 200
bond-updelay 200[/QUOTE]
So i thought i would be able to get at least 1Gbps speed but im only getting about 400-500mbps.
How can i fix that?
edit: im using debian 6.
Anyone got Tux yet? :S
[QUOTE=Killervalon;39623790]Anyone got Tux yet? :S[/QUOTE]
I didn't get a notification, it just appeared in my inventory.
[QUOTE=Killervalon;39623790]Anyone got Tux yet? :S[/QUOTE]
sure did
all I had to do was reboot [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-smug.gif[/img]
Well, I did open the game and play TF2 on Linux, sadly it had some performance issues so I just left after a while.. Have to try NVIDIA-Experimental, but I have no Tux :\
Got my Tux, but it crashes whenever I join a server...
I got my Tux just fine, had it after launching, but didn't play online. Playing with bots work somewhat fine, but the lag is just too bad when I'm playing online for some reason.
I was playing with a respectable 40 FPS with a old ATI card on the Ubuntu sponsored server.
having issues installing mint 13 on my old laptop. it's all set up and everything except for radeon drivers (HD 3100). i tried installing it via terminal (which worked), then I restarted. however, now my gui is different and my resolution is lower than before.
i'm pretty sure I used the [URL="http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx"]correct drivers[/URL] (im using a 32bit operating system), yet I still can't figure out why it's not working. any ideas?
oh, and steam was installed but it doesn't launch for some reason. nothing happens and I'm not sure why
[editline]17th February 2013[/editline]
and this is the first time I've touched linux in years
I haven't bothered installing the nonfree drivers yet so I can't even launch steam
some day I will actually put some effort in to anything

I'm going to assume something went wrong and threw you in to gnome-fallback, I don't know what could have caused it or what it is though, I only use Nvidia cards
yep, it's in gnome fallback. I can't reset it or anything
all I know is that my ATI drivers are fucking up.

All the drivers are [B]free[/B] and I think you are referring to the propriety (closed source) drivers. Unless of course your using the [URL="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html"]GNU definition[/URL] of free.
