I never played Portal 2, so yeah!

Also, Spotify (some kind of music player & music social network) just made the jump to Linux: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify ... d-p/392806

More of a technical advancement, Adobe and Google are bringing a Adobe CFF text rasterizing system to Linux, which is suppose to be a lot better. Though I have never had issues with font on any distro... not sure why they're doing it, but yay! linux: http://www.zdnet.com/google-and-adobe-t ... 000014803/

I only see the original Portal, not Portal 2, in Steam so far.

[Isaac]

Hmm... I got to get the steam client myself. Not that my netbook can handle any 3d games.

[Alter-Fox]

You sure?
I've been able to play Red Faction on a netbook I got for note-taking in class .

I'm not saying it would run Portal... but it would probably run Doom. Which isn't exactly 3D but whatever.

[Isaac]

It can run it, but it's not smooth. 2d games run fine, like world of goo, cortex command, and Teeworlds.

I installed Steam on my Linux and Portal shows ... but it won't play on my Linux (lappy with under-appreciated video) because there isn't sufficient OpenGL support for my lappy's video.

Oh well, reboot in XP and I run Portal there.

[Isaac]

I'm in the other boat, having a card with amazing support, but an underpowered intel gpu that has trouble running blender... Won't be running Portal either.. GERRR

[Isaac]

Not that my system could play them, I don't see Portal 1 or 2 available for linux :/
