New community site about Steam for Linux and gaming on Linux generally. Here we want to unite all the Linux users wishing to play their Steam games on Linux. And of course this community site should be a message to Valve with a request for Steam client for Linux.
If you want to help please join us!
The client itself is not the main problem, the games are. If the game doesn't run on Linux then having steam on Linux doesn't help at all. One reason this didn't get anywhere so far.
I only use Xubuntu (Ubuntu + Xfce) because of all the documentation.
Linux games ftw!
I've tried Xfce on occasion in the past, but I could never get past the fact that the Thunar devs not only refuse to implement tabbed file management, but seem to take pride in it.
...so I got used to LXDE instead. Even lighter and PCManFM has tabs. It still has rough edges, but it serves me well.
Good to see people are still rejecting unity
Unity made me sad, until i installed gnome shell and the fallback mode.
it's a matter of CHOICE! if u don't like it, don't use it, ubuntu isn't like windows where you have to stick with the default desktop environment forever! you can change it to YOUR preferences, I like unity, but I can quite understand why someone may dislike it, but I don't bash on others choices... exept for windows....
U can install gnome still on the new ubuntu's. I find gnome3 more annoying than unity though. I personally just set it to classic gnome. KDE is eh. rather keep it on gnome.
