Possible Linux port if Blockland was greenlit?

what
that's what i'm saying, i've never really had problems with windows
i think the one issue i've had in the past year was when my quick links in explorer randomly disappeared, but that's really not an issue of any sort
anything beyond the past year i can't be bothered to remember but i imagine there's nothing
it may be a cliche, but it's nonetheless true that time is money

Lol you got me on that last one. I was referring to the linux problems, I haven't had any problems with my Windows 7 (few crashes, programs not responding, it's normal), I like it but its not the only thing I like. With linux I've had a fair share of problems, took it to the forums and almost all of them, except 1 or 2 have been solved, that was on the Ubuntu distro however. All of this is OffTopic btw but since Badspot hasn't been active for a good few days now I don't think it's bad to offtrack a bit. I've switched to Manjaro distro and I have everything working now, the problem with Ubuntu I had was that Skype would crash instantly, on Manjaro it doesn't.

no, whenever a game gets ported to linux, there's always a flood of people complaining about weird incompatibility issues with their vague builds
it's what happened when steam went to linux, and heck, it still happens a lot

This is an older post but im replying because I just thought of something. Valve has been working with Windows for 15 years, about 3 years with Mac (at least for the Steam application) and Linux for about 1 year (started in December 2012). However, Steam was only officicially released for Linux last February..6 months ago. Of course there will be bugs, considering the fact that video drivers for Linux were already bad (AMD and Nvidia, now its the opposite, nvidia and AMD drivers have gotten better thanks to Valve). On top of that you will always have a handful of bugs when releasing something new, espicially for a platform never tested on before. Vague builds? The most popular linux distrubtions are Linux Mint (which is directly based off of Ubuntu), Ubuntu and Debian (Ubuntu is based off of Debian), Fedora, OpenSUSE. All of these distros have their own Steam client and are already configured out-of box.

This is offtopic to what you are talking about but something pretty neat to notice is that when L4D2 was in testing for Steam and receieved many optimizations it actually outperformed the D3D version of Windows by 45FPS (pretty big difference). Compared to the OpenGL version of Windows the linux version outperformed (and still does) by 12FPS (not so significant but 10+ FPS is pretty good).

What's the chance within the next 6 months that Blockland will be greenlit? 15%?

I thought it was higher than that, considering the recent progress. But really, the way things have been going, it could happen tomorrow, or it could happen never. We just don't know. :/

What's Blockland's ranking on Steam greenlight?

PLEASE NOTE: I already know there will be a couple of handicaps posting "but linux sucks" and "nobody uses it"... so guess what, I could care less about what you say and I never asked for your opinion.

You could care less? Then why don't you, as you said you never asked for our opinion. If you couldn't care less then I'd understand, but I'm a little confused why you could care less. How much do you care exactly?

"I couldn't care less about what you say and I never asked for your opinion."

If you say "I could care less", then it implies you care to some extent.
That could be ever so slightly caring, or being obsessed over what others are saying.

"I couldn't care less" means that you do not care at all.
And therefore it is impossible to care any less. You can't have less care than no care.

God loving damn it, dooble. You've made me look like a handicap.

I already stated this in the beginning but you may have missed that and I dont blame you, I dont expect anyone to read every single post so I will sort of re-post. If I went and said that I didnt care at all about their opinions then why should they care about mine? In this case, that Linux is a good OS or that Blockland should be ported to it. If I care a bit about your opinion then you would also feel to care a bit about mine as well, no?
