&gt; Is that the guy who was unable to install Ubuntu properly...<p>Frankly, Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.whatever_the_last_release_was have been really, really, <i>really</i> bad. I say this as a gamer, Linux power user, and sysadmin who&#x27;s been using various flavors of Linux for ~fifteen years and who&#x27;s <i>quite</i> happy managing his Gentoo Linux boxes, but <i>really</i> happy when he finds a largely-hands-off distro, because that means he can recommend a distro to his friends.<p>What&#x27;s more, if you <i>are</i> using Ubuntu 15.latest, Steam doesn&#x27;t work out of the box. It won&#x27;t start. You get no error messages or <i>anything</i>. You have to move a bundled copy of -IIRC- glibc out of the way before Steam will work. Reports on the interwebs indicate that the moved file comes back when the Steam client updates itself, so this isn&#x27;t a permanent fix!<p><i>Maybe</i> Valve can&#x27;t be arsed to target anything other than SteamOS, but it&#x27;s not a good sign when the company that&#x27;s -arguably- doing the <i>most</i> good for Linux gaming out of anyone out there doesn&#x27;t ship a client that works on the latest version of one of the more (if not the most) popular Linux distros.<p>I&#x27;mma have to make a note to go back and remind myself about how dynamic linking and .so versioning works on Linux. I had <i>thought</i> that the tools to make this shit work correctly were widespread and relatively easy to use, but the state of Linux gaming leads me to question my memory. :&#x2F;
