Unit193 | Yeah, haven't you been keeping up? | 20:27 |
Unit193 | Bleh.. | 20:27 |
thafreak | i thought their faq says they have no plans to support linux | 20:28 |
Unit193 | http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=valve_linux_sdl&num=1 | 20:31 |
thafreak | yeah just saw that | 20:39 |
thafreak | but..."we're going to start doing X" is alot different than, "Here's X, go and play with it" | 20:39 |
thafreak | I've been waiting like 8 years for some one to start making top teir games for linux | 20:40 |
thafreak | speaking of which...how's ATI graphics these days for gaming on linux? Anyone know? | 20:40 |
thafreak | everything i find on google is years old | 20:42 |
yano | apparently better than Nvidia, http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/06/nvidia-linus-torvald/ | 20:44 |
Unit193 | Meh. | 20:44 |
thafreak | yeah...i'm aware of that | 20:45 |
yano | :-p | 20:45 |
yano | so it could be worse | 20:45 |
thafreak | so do you go with the ones trying harder to support open source, or the ones who can actually perform well with 3D | 20:45 |
yano | i flip a coin | 20:47 |
