Valve: Linux More Viable Than Windows 8 for Gaming

Anyway, aside from this dickwaving, I'm heavily considering giving Ubuntu another shot. Or maybe Mint Linux. Gotta do research.[/QUOTE]

Valve starts at 13:00, judge for yourselves.

That's a pretty good explanation of what's going on.

Although I like Windows 8, I do hope games become big on Linux, then I'd leave Windows

Ironically you'd be able to play Steam on x86 tablets if you installed Ubuntu on them.

Valve can say what they want, I still won't leave Windows for Linux since that would mean I have to forfeit nearly all of the programs that I use. Autodesk and Adobe programs on Linux? Not happening. At least not in any official way.

nobody cares

you act as if they're dropping support for windows and forcing you to switch

Nope not a joke, how come macs and linuxes can't run all games? There there's you're problem.

Oh and applications too. Why do those oses exist if they can't run .exes

Wine and Bootcamp don't count these things should be implemented by default.

This is exactly why they are doing this, they want to encourage developers to make their software capable with Linux.

I really wanna leave windows. This will be a good incentive in the future.
