- Activate the multilib repo (ugh, do I have to? Everything else I use is 64-bit native)
- Launch Steam, login and install TF2 (again, very easy, but it doesn't play too well with tiling WMs like i3. An issue I don't have with any other program)
- Launch TF2. It seems to load fine, but hangs before the menu shows up. Some googling later, it turns out I need to enable the en_US.UTF-8 locale in /etc/locale.gen. Why? I use en_GB and only that because I'm British. And why does it fail so fatally? No other program has this problem.
- As a minor point, the fonts look distinctly worse in Linux, all thin and spindly. (not sure about this one)
