From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fantastic news! thanks
beware NVIDIA tho:
However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.
Planning on replacing the nvidia card. Fwiw however, enabled it and hey, no crash thus far. Let's see. =)
I have an NVIDIA card on X11 and just enabled it. I'll keep you informed ^^.
Linux gamers will be happy to learn that this update makes it possible to enable hardware acceleration on the Steam Client
:D

oh :(
Just updated. Wow. I really like the new look, and it feels much snappier and more responsive.
Always love to see Linux grow
I look forward to trying this out later
I don't care about hardware acceleration for a game launcher, but I sure wish they would make it use the native system widgets and theme. They need to reduce the bloat by about 95% as well.
