Phoronix Confirms GNU/Linux Steam and Source Engine Clients 324
nukem996 writes "After initially reporting in 2010 that Valve was working on a native GNU/Linux client, one has finally been confirmed. Michael Larabel recently visited Valve's Bellvue, WA based office and has been able to see it himself. Included in the article are screenshots of the client running and speculation of a release."
Valve has yet to officially comment, but you'd hope they wouldn't invite someone up to their offices and send them home to spew lies.

The entire reason I *have* an Ubuntu partition is so that I *can't* play all the modern games I'm used to having. With this and how well WoW runs under Wine, I guess that programming Skynet will have to wait.

Indeed! I would prefer if Microsoft astroturfers' experience with the Linux community entirely consisted of being punched in the face.

/.ed? That's impossible. Nobody uses Linux on the desktop or is interested in it, right?
