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. |

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%? |

But really, the way things have been going, it could happen tomorrow, or it could happen never. We just don't know. :/ |
