Gache Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 At long last, Valve has confirmed that Linux ports of both Steam and the Source engine are in active development, and should be released later this year. These are native solutions that run directly on Linux, without any kind of Wine-like emulation.Left 4 Dead 2 running natively on Linux.... No Wine library or anything else for "fake" support. This is on an Ubuntu 11.10 installation with the AMD Catalyst Linux driver. Here's the original post on Phoronix and some commentary from ExtremeTech. Now I know this is Phoronix who are, shall we we say, 'optimistic' about all things Linux; but by the looks of things this isn't a leak or a 'source': it's straight from Gabe Newell. - Gache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gache Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 A couple of posts about working on performance, OpenGL and graphics drivers. One from a dev who works on the Intel drivers: http://www.paranormal-entertainment.com/idr/blog/posts/2012-07-19T18%3A54%3A37Z-The_zombies_cometh/ And one from Valve: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/faster-zombies/ Some interesting stuff there about performance relative to Windows, and about the ability of a big name like Valve to drive rapid improvements in Linux graphics drivers.
