LINUX GAMING
The Garry's Mod sandbox physics mod game powered by the Source Engine is now running well natively on Linux.

For months Linux gamers have been waiting for Garry's Mod to come to Linux, After this year's April Fool's gag, experimental Linux client support for Garry's Mod finally came to Linux last week as part of their Steampipe beta.

In the past few hours tonight I've received multiple reports of Garry's Mod now appearing for more people within their Steam library and working well. No new announcements have come from Garry Newman or elsewhere at the time of publishing, but apparently the Linux client is now in better standing.
