The Steam for Linux beta has started

awesome :)

only 19 games supported so far :(

The only reason i don't use Linux is game support. When it has enough game support ill try out Linux again.

I'm not really into Linux but broading limits and competitiveness is always good.

I already have 14 of the current 24 Linux supported games. 8-)

I think I'm definitely going to be checking out Steam Linux beta.

I am excited

Where are the Valve games? Surely L4D2 will be in the beta now.

Fixed list of Linux supported steam games

You only showed games under 10€

HL 3 on Linux! its true?

Btw if you use "a way to use steam w/o beta access" you get only access to steam client. You won't be able to install and play any games. TF2 throws "server overload error" and other games just don't download - they looks like downloaded instantly and when you try launch them it throws "missing executable" error.

(I am fine with that. I wanted steam on linux mainly for chat because i am server administrator and need communicate with people. But if you want try it now to play some games you can't. Wait until you are given official beta access.)

shame this is the first i'm hearing about the group -- maybe if i'd known and filled out the survey sooner they would have given me beta access! oh well filled it out anyway so will hopefully still be able to get in :)
