Steam for Linux Beta Launches with 26 Titles
Valve has released the beta client for Steam for Linux. Team Fortress 2 comes included with the client download (it is free-to-play after all), but if you want to play some other games, you'll be pleased to know that there are a total of 26 Linux games now available on Steam. Most of these titles are indie games, but there is one full-fledged retail game Serious Sam 3: BFE - that sticks out from the bunch.
At the moment, the Steam for Linux beta is only compatible with Ubuntu 12.04 and above. Steam for Linux team member Frank Crockett says that Valve will eventually release Steam for more Linux distros. The beta for the Steam for Linux client also supports the Big Picture mode, also currently in beta.

AMD already have pretty decent Linux drivers, and also they work much more closely with Linux developers than Nvidia...
so AMD sucks why??

Maybe for desktop, but laptop... No, not really.
The last five distros I tried had extremely lackluster driver support regarding AMD. So as you can see my opinion isn't just subjective, it's fact. Many users will tell you the same thing.

I agree, coming from an nvidia laptop to an amd one, the driver options and support is pretty lacking.
At least enduro works better now.

Good to see Valve is not resting on its laurels
