Officially Supported Linux Client
" I think the biggest issue with porting games over isn't necessarily the porting, it's the bandwidth of personnel that would be needed to help with hardware issues/application issues that linux users experience. Which is quite funny actually, as if you're using a linux distro you should be your own support and work to try and solve the problem yourself - which is half the fun of linux in the first place. :P | |

I've reached the point where I avoid buying games I cannot play on Linux. I reluctantly play games via wine but ultimately having native Linux games would thrill me no-end. - Ryan | |
I have problems play PoE via wine/ PlayOnLinux... A native client would be great!

I only fire up Windows to launch Borderlands or Path of Exile. Maybe just WINE it up, try to support WINE as much as possible. µTorrent did so a while. They even mentioned 'Linux support'. So at the download screen with a list of supported OS there was Linux (WINE) in the list. I didn't mind since it worked as well as on Windows. From what I read, support is already pretty good. With the community's help I don't see how it would take more than 50 hours solo dev to polish it up so it can be calld 'supported'. From what I have read it already works pretty well, I just did not want to bother with it yet. *Edit* OH, ggg, don't forget my HTPC. I know I live in the future, having dozens of emulators, XBMC with Twitch (oh fuck yeah xbmc, there is nothing like you i can solely speak positive about), steam, auto-download via rss of newest tv shows. This is not possible without Linux. It is jaw-dropping for every family member or friend that visits. Everything with a remote. All this in a 60W machine. Don't underestimate embedded systems like that. People laughed at me for saying Linux will dominate the small appliances market like handhelds and mobile phones. I guess most stopped laughing. It *will not* conquer normal desktop systems for quite a while. But embedded systems... yeah pretty much. Try to jump on the band-wagon. I think people just started to associate Linux with the term cool. #1 Templar Closed Beta HC Ladder (lvl 83) Last edited by SAKUJ0 on Jan 2, 2013, 7:54:24 AM

I don't think that the direct x / open gl thing is a huge piece of development work so long as the engine was written using proper OO principals. If not... then yeah... up a creek without a paddle :P |

Im going full linux when steam/valve gets the hang of it. Multiplatform is the way to go these days. :) LINUX!
