if this is what it takes for people to start taking their first look at using linux, then i'm 100% here for it. it isn't a desktop OS yet, but it's definitely got eyes on the penguin now.

it cannot be understated just how much work valve has put into making linux gaming viable. and it's going to matter a lot more than some might think

Given the rapid deterioration of Windows/Microsoft, I 100% agree. I'll be trying to install on my Ally this weekend.

It wasn't what introduced me to linux entirely, but it is absolutely what made me realize that Linux COULD be user friendly, so I definitely give credit to Valve for that. I am now gearing up to make the switch in the near future on my desktop.
