where do i get videogames, i have a linux

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

Anyone else with the "White screen" bug in TF2??? (Fullscreen mode)

Is it only for me that i can actually see Counter-Strike: Source on my steam games for linux list?

TF2 seems to be working good for me.

It has WAY faster response times than the Windows version. The reports from Valve's dev-team are right about the Source-engine working so much better in Linux.

I did experience one X-Server crash myself when I toggled the setting for "multi-core" rendering. However, it loaded correctly with the new settings the next time I started it. It seems most Linux drivers perform better with that setting, as I think it might also reoptomize for muti-threaded rendering, which Linux does on any capable hardware.

As of optimizing, on more modest ATI Radeon hardware, you can get a big boost by turning off FSAA, Motion Blur and cutting LOD. The penalty for large texture maps and shaders seems minimal, as long as you have enough video memory to hold them all.

Damn, TF2 crash my X.org :C

Horney as a note on the opposite side of the spectrum, if you want to tweak out your gaming rig and don't care how long it takes or how much you have to learn, and aren't afraid of a little learning by failure, I recommend Gentoo.

The whole category is "install from source." They are attempts to make "Linux from Scratch" more practical.

Horney, are you trying to start a flame war. *joking*

Seriously, no one distribution can serve the needs of everyone in the world, that is why there are many out there. Thus, I cannot recommend one without knowing what you would like in a Linux Distribution for gaming, and even still, my answer will contain plenty of opinion that may vary from other people's opinions.

However, if you want something easy to setup that is easy to find packages for, I recommend a mainstream distro. Good choices include Ubuntu-Based (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu and Lubuntu) CentOS, PCLinuxOS and OpenSUSE to just name a few.

Even with Compositing on in XFCE I rarely see any loss of performance in OpenGL on my machine.

To give you an idea of the difference, it's about a 2% cost on GLMark2 to enable compositing on XFCE and about a 30% cost on KDE. The two score identical with compositing off, but I have enough system resources to handle KDE, most of which is a larger memory footprint

New stable/certified Nvidia driver released. It cannot be found on the driver search page. AMD64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-302.17-driver.html
i386: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-302.17-driver.html
If anyone needs help with installing it, post a message here or instant message me through steam.

I have a new blog for Linux tweaks and tips. Check it out. http://tux9656.blogspot.com/

@Horney well as far as gaming i'd recommend something easy to use like ubuntu and a light DE like lxde or prehaps xfce. really its what your system can handle :)

Xontoic is really good and i think it will be something special later on

whats the best distro for gaming?

I tried Xonotic a few days ago, and I see potential in it.

Iv only goten steam working with winetricks. And ill have to search up Xontoic

I have a little steam linux community feel free to join and write in EN-RO only.

@=ήgє= Skippy
i guess it would seem like luck, i'm running Slackware 13.1, latest WINE, and Steam worked immediately without any tweaking

Some people seem to have decent luck, but I've personally never been able to get Steam working right under WINE, not even using POL.

I can't install Steam under Fedora 14 with Wine.

It is some one who play Xonotic ??
Xonotic is a native linux game also playeble on windows to.

If you want to install steam easily install it with Play On Linux!

Im trying to get a decent recording program, can anyone help me?
(iv found a few, but none that can record a game smoothly.)

I'm new to Linux and I need to do a Symlink for my games (Windows 7 to Ubuntu) can anyone help me out?

Try running "winetricks corefonts" if you have winetricks.

@floydinizer
how can u run steam under wine couse on my Squeeze does even not start and i have a good PC(gpu 9600gt 512MB...q6600 cpu).

hey guys, i just started running Steam on Slack, and i'm really happy to find other linux users here. I haven't gotten many friends yet, so if you feel like it please add me :) I love old games and play a lot of music, so if you know any cool useful musical apps for linux, or just like music, please tell me, i'd love to share experiences. Thanks :D

Happy New Year 2011 : - )

Merry Christmas Everyone : - )

Hey everyone. I've been a die-hard linux fan for about 4 years now (IK seems like really short to some of you). And I just got into using Steam under Crossover Games on Ubuntu 10.10. Do any of you want to add me. I only have 1 friend (whom doesnt use linux), so I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you all, RevolutionaryDragon

I've never been able to get online gaming to work through WINE myself.

can sum 1 help me i can't get online game play can you message me or summat. THANKS btw im running steam on ubuntu 10.10 through wine

Crossover is said to be a good compatibility layer for TF2, but I have not confirmed this myself.

i don't know how do you play on linux(who plays) but my steam games (tf2&cs:s) is moving like sh...in linux and i have good pc :|
