Actually, I suspect the problem is that they keep breaking the client all the time on non-Ubuntu distros. I've had to fix up my install on Debian Wheezy a number of times since the client has been out of beta. Last week, I got the dreaded 'You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libSDL2-2.0.so.0' error after a Steam update, and frankly I can't be bothered fixing it again, knowing it'll be something else that needs fixing in another week or so. I'm just going to sit back and wait until Steam adds some official Debian support before I waste any more time on it.
Oh, my install under Wine continues to work flawlessly. :/

They need to port more games which have a great replay value, TF2 and CS(:S) are just not enough. Left 4 Dead 2 (at least to some extent) and especially DOTA 2 are the titles I really want to see.

- upwards of 999 accounts don't get counted per distro
- 0.005% from each of the 47 listed distros would = ~23.5k users or more unaccounted for
Still a bit surprised no one else caught that before me. >.<
I saw that your math was flawed. I just didn't care enough to correct you . Good that you realized though.

What more could you ask for really? A card that plays everything you throw at it at your monitors top resolution is kinda the point. r600g is a pretty good driver.

It just isnt stable. Valve cant fix that. They just can't rely on wine.

My Nvidia card (GT 520) plays without problems as well.
I think most people say the Linux driver situation is bad because they think about times passed.
If a non-technical person with an arbitrary but common hardware setup cannot simply migrate to Linux and expect everything to work, then the driver situation ought to be considered dire.
