Hooray! �Valve has finally released the popular gaming platform, Steam, for Linux users.�Right now it?s only supported under Ubuntu�12.04 or 12.10, using the Unity, Gnome or KDE desktop environments. �Steams says that more Linux distributions will be fully supported if/when time permits. �Perhaps they will include other popular distributions such as LinuxMint (a fork of Ubuntu), Fedora and more. �If they only support Ubuntu, maybe they will support a different desktop environment such as the lightweight Xfce.
The Steam installer and Ubuntu desktop are both free to download and install. �As a big supporter of free and open source software, hopefully this news will entice more people to give Linux (Ubuntu specifically) a try on their desktops. �I can?t wait to try it; give it a go yourselves!
