[Klug-general] Steam on Linux

[Adrian]

For Kev


from what it looks it uses Wine?

there's a fair few references to it on here 
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux

I couldn't find much googling "Do I need wine for Steam on Linux" & "Steam on Linux without Wine"



Not all games are fully compatible with Steam on Linux (Given as Direct X and such), it's mostly the Indie games and Valve ones. 

and as for hardware reqs I wouldn't have the foggyest. 
from personal experience I've found that drivers for graphics cards are annoying to get right in Linux (Ubuntu11.04)
this was using an ATi Radeon HD 5870. Or maybe it was just me :D haha
