The main problem with Linux is the countless number of distributions. Companies can only afford to support a limited number of them because of their differences, and with the rest they are on their own, it may work, it may not, they can’t waste their time trying out your heavily customized distro.

People mentions Valve, adding linux support, but what they don’t mention is that its currently only a beta, and currently supporting ubuntu.
And you still have to use Wine for most things anyways.

Linux needs a stronger unified community and a “Distro to rule all distros”.
That’ll take time. Valve has time and resources to do that slowly, since it’s a service, but with a game you can’t have things evolving slowly like that.

My apologies for the double post. While the concern about multiple distros is certainly valid, it won’t require much effort on the developer’s part to take care of that issue. Just throw in one or two distribution packages. For example, focus on Ubuntu for the time being, but throw in a tarball for good measure. Linux users can certainly find their way around a tarball while the developer community unofficially repackages it for other distributions using said file.

Another Linux user right here that would LOVE a native client.
