    Well, since they're on Steam anyway, it would seem logical to target for Valve's flavor of GNU/Linux first (after all, the distribution channel is already there), and then go from there. IIRC Valve is using some kind of Debian/Ubuntu, but I might be wrong.

    Yeah... I know. Unfortunately. Debian has it's own... quirks. And their maintainers have screwed up majorly on some packages. Really, they shouldn't be editing the code if it's for something that isn't in their expertise.

    One of the most known examples from when they crippled the PRNG in the OpenSSL version they were distributing.

    I hope they've gotten better about it.

    Thanks for linking this -- there's a link to this xkcd comic in there, which I just now remembered.
    Ubuntu security problem: Turns out distro is actually just Windows Vista with a few custom themes.
    :joy:

    Err.... http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/

    Try again.

    I even installed it on an old laptop when it was first released. It's most definitely a thing. ESO with a Valve controller might actually be a viable thing...

    I am just posting this to show my support and desire for ESO on Linux. I have nothing new to add that hasn't been mentioned already. I want to ditch windows and ESO is one of the few things holding me back.

    This game works perfectly well under wine in linux.
    It's a matter of what type of VGA you got. Nvidia or ATI will do fine
    I got an ATI 7700 HD and I get 30-40 fps with openGL and all but water reflections maxed.
    If you install playonlinux it will take care whatever ''fiddling'' you must do with wine else you must configure wine manually.

    Yeah, but then you have the problem with having to play ESO on a console.

    On a serious note, Windows 10 was a free upgrade for me and so far it is working out as the best Windows OS
    for me since XP/Windows 7.

    So many variables in the PC world.
    I do run linux on all my servers though.
