Not only has the source engine huge problems with rendering under Wine ( take out a grenade... triangles all over the screen ) it also kills your Linux when it crashes ( hard-locks the machine, reboot required, screen resolution totally fucked up and not repairable anymore... you need to reinstall drivers to clear up the mess ).
thats a 7950gt with binary drivers for reference.

And the DRM. Why doesn't anyone talk about the DRM any way? If I can't even play a single player game without connecting to their Steam servers and asking for permission, that definitely helps take the wind from my sails.

Fullscreen and window modes work perfectly fine. Only issue besides fps is that when you close it the process itself doesn't fully exit. This is easily fixed with the system monitor tho. Im not saying that its the same for everyone but its what happens for me.

don't know what my framerate was exactly, but every once in a while i would notice it was just a little less then smooth, it was barely noticeable, but on windows i highly doubt that would happen with my setup.

Thanks for the interest anyway guys, we're working hard to get a good game out this summer and you will be able to get hold of it one way or another. And hopefully it won't segfault all over the place like it currently does
For the record the platform listing will be our fault, not Valve's, since we filled out the info for that page.
Cheers
Alex (Dyson dev team)

perhaps another solution. Certainly digital distribution appeals to most linux users as we are very internet oriented. Why not make a mac/linux alternative? Sure it would be a rocky start and very complex at best, but overall it would either push steam to make a client or abandon the need. Looks good on the cover, bad on paper.
Can anyone add to this because im running on a limb...
