Great news everybody, the L4D2 engine is now running faster on Linux than it runs on Windows. Valve updated their blog today with this post: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/faster-zombies/

Any FPS performance increase is a good news considering how heavy to run TF2 is.

Hmm, if it runs in OpenGL ... well, let's say I think an Android tablet would be awesome for SourceTV.

They could invest the time optimizing it for windows too. I don't think I'll uninstall windows because I use it for too many other things and dual booting for a game is dumb.

Looking forward to complaining about no linux esea client rather than no linux games

#5, iirc, valve is experimenting hardcore with linux because Newell hates the living crap out of windows 8, so they are wanting to get ahead in case big games start being offered on linux.

as an ardent linux user and sysadmin i'm honestly excited to see if this pans out and actually helps graphics support for linux not be a shitfest. but if this ends up being a dead project i'll just stay on win7.

Windows always seem to do well with every other OS. I have no complaints with 7.
