The Valve Linux Blog announces they will begin internally testing
Steam for Linux next week, and will begin admitting external testers next month, saying: "Things have been going well. We will be having an internal beta starting next week, and a private external beta for 1,000 users sometime in October." Here's word on where they are with this:
The private external beta will include:
- Steam
- One Valve game
- Support for Ubuntu 12.04 and above
It will not yet include:
- Big Picture mode
- Additional Valve games

It's even funnier that it only supports Ubuntu 12.04+ imo. Other distros are probably not amused 
It's sensible for getting things running. They know exactly what libraries Ubuntu is using, and it gives them a target that isn't constantly moving. People on distros like Arch, which update every day, will make do, they like tinkering with things.
I know one of the main contributors to Slackware has said he'll make sure Steam runs on Slackware. I think reasonable people see the logic in how Valve are doing this. |
