It defaults you to a "Linux Games" selection in a platform dropdown. You can select other platforms to see those games, but the install button isn't there.
Ah ok, thanks.

I've played a few other games of this type, and I've seen a bit of TF2 gamplay youtube. It's this "best game ever" part I don't get. And I'm not willing to download 11 gigs and then spend months getting demolished by veterans for a chance to possibly understand what the special ingredient is that sets this apart from the rest.
Well, mac and linux support going forward for Valve is pretty much the same thing. I doubt we'll be seeing releases for one and not the other.
Downloading Ubuntu right now, I must have that penguin. Quick (dumb) question: do I have to re-download Team Fortress 2 even if I've already downloaded it on Windows?
Can I run this shit from a live boot drive? Are the files the same so I can just run from Windows Steam directory?
Oh sure but... there's 7gb of map files, animations, voice samples and models to redownload. Kind of a pain to download all that stuff again when it could in theory be just a 30mb exe or whatever.No... Linux executables are fundamentally different... that's why Windows programs can't run on Linux, and vice versa. Well, not counting something like WINE, which is a compatibility layer.
I'm quite tempted to just copy my TF2 folder from Win7 and have Steam do the "verify" thing and only download what it needs.Can I run this shit from a live boot drive? Are the files the same so I can just run from Windows Steam directory?
Could not find required OpenGL entry point "glGetError"! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated
PROBLEM: You appear to have OpenGL 1.4.0, but we need at least 2.0.0!
Are the earbuds worth actual real money? I played TF2 like twice and have a pair as i played on Mac when they were giving them away.

Yes.
They're worth about $35 right now.
After three evenings trying to make TF2 on Ubuntu with my AMD card, I give up. I'll have a friend get me that penguin. All this was more out of curiosity than anything.
In terminal I can read this:
But AMD reports I have 4.2 so that's not really it. And the driver installation is completely clean.
So I give up and say that, today, a steam linux market is inviable and major deals have to be made with card manufacturers for an easier driver installation. That, or they can wait a few months until AMD is bankrupt.

He's not talking about the exe. He's talking about the assets.Linux doesn't use exe in the way you are thinking (in a windows world).
edit: oh wow there is one for tf2? time to go check it out.
All those games in the OP able to run in linux? Nice?
But lol at the ubuntu running on windows. Whats the point?
The "games" number on platform/publisher landing pages actually includes DLC, so while there are ~100 Linux-compatible products on Steam, there are only 59 individual games.
Half-Life 1 has come to OSX? Pretty cool. I don't even own it though actually.
Where's the L4d series, cs go and halflife2?
I can't seem to get TF2 running with my shitty ATI X1600. I keep getting an OpenGL "glColorMaskIndexedEXT" error every time I try launching it in Ubuntu 12.10. Sucks cause I wanted Tux.

Check your inventory under community.

Yeah, I was finally able to sort of force the game but I didn't bother checking till after I did so so I'm not really sure when I got him. Anyways, I followed the instructions posted here with the edits from this post and the following command "steam -applaunch 440 -novid -textmode -nosound -noipx -nopreload -nojoy -sw -maxplayers 2 +sv_lan 1 +map "itemtest"".
So copying over all of the Source engine and Team Fortress 2 *.gcf files (\steamapps\) from my Windows 7 install cut the 12GB download for TF2 on Linux down to almost nothing. I think those files accounted for 95% of the TF2 data.
No issues booting into TF2 (old GeForce 9600 GSO).
Totally pain-free experience with Ubuntu, no driver installations needed for anything.
