IM SO EXCITED AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT!
@raket94 probably. have you tried any other games to see if they have sound?
@thisweekinlinux I tried torchlight but i didn’t get any sound working, does that have to do with the settings in wine or something?
@raket94 ah, yes. If you just downloaded the Windows version, it’ll just run in Wine. I’ve played HL2 and Portal in it, and they run ok. Torchlight runs beautifully though!
@thisweekinlinux No, i just downloaded the regular one from the steam website, i never rightclicked and picked run with wine or anything so i’m not sure if it ran automaticly with wine or something but it worked.
@raket94 Was it the sort of leaked version, or were you running it inside of Wine?
I actually tried installing steam on ubuntu 10:04 and it worked.
It was shitty as hell but it worked and i actually tried playing hl2:ep1 and it kind of worked but it was a bit glitchy so this is really good news
YES! I always wanted to play HL:S on my Mac, but it’s not PPC. But now, I don’t have to worry about Windows and can play on Linux. Something to look forward to…
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGG
@CreateImagineGreater supposedly by the end of the summer.
OMG WHEN CAN I GET STEAM FOR LINUX!!!!!

@TwitterUniQue I run Steam in Wine right now, and it runs very nicely. However, if they made a native version, it would almost certainly run faster and be easier to use.
OMG , Steam On Linux But i use WINE , what u think ?
happy birthday
@Rundfunk90 Well I’d love to hear back from Valve themselves, but just in case I don’t, I’ve gone ahead and sent out a media contact email to the Telegraph to see if they can confirm their source. The fact that so many media outlets jumped on the Telegraph’s story says a lot, but I’d love to know exactly where it started.
@thisweekinlinux Thanks for being honest
Telegraph is a quite good source, but then again: what is there source? Oh well, can’t wait for more info
