game Half-Life, which was released for a whopping 15 years, and can be purchased on Steam in Linux (and Mac OS X), and the same goes for Counter-Strike 1.6. In both cases we must take into account that have been released in beta version may not behave in the desired stability -and graphics are the same as the original versions, but the gameplay will remain intact .

is possible that this is just the first step in a strategy that could soon make available to us much more modern games these franchises, and certainly we are pleased that Valve is meeting expectations and is offering more and more games in its catalog on Steam for Linux.

official announcement confirmed that the important role both as Gabe Newell Valve have played to make that decision and offer a version for Linux that game.

“ always get a lot of requests to offer a version for Linux and Mac OS X. And of course that was our intention, but initially we planned to do other versions only after the release of the Windows version. Recent announcements from Valve have made us rethink our strategy again. If Valve bet both Linux then we should pay more attention from now. We are delighted to announce that Snowbird Games has begun working with a development team to carry independent Linux and OS X versions of ‘ROCTA: Masters of the Broken World’. hope the game is released on all platforms simultaneously this spring . “

This game falls under the category of turn-based RPGs, and both graphical and gameplay level the truth is that the development promises as you can see in the following video . Good news that confirms the successful performance of the Steam platform for Linux.

The accounts, which neither come nor care

Ubuntu 500x357 accounts, neither leave nor matter

MuyComputer spoke Saturday at a subject that is given much hype without reason: usage statistics who publish major market gauges … that not even they believe them. The “excuse” to address the issue gave me the radical discrepancy between the two best-known firms, and NetMarketShare StatCounter, for the market share of Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

ended the article with a paragraph of those that sometimes escape me, pretending that if browsers statistics are unreliable, why the operating system if they are? Why in the last five years Linux has not moved 1% fee? In that, curiously, all agree.

all this came to my mind one of Mark Shuttleworth many data released in the video presentation for smarthpones Ubuntu (I said it was a highly recommended video, because they say things that are not normally say). The fact to which I refer is this: Ubuntu 12.04 was downloaded 7.3 million times in the first 24 hours … Impressive, no?

Then I remembered also to other things. For example, that Windows 8 Consumer Preview was downloaded a million times the day of its publication . After his final release, Windows 8 sold 4 million units in three days . Making a quick sum, there is no doubt that swept Ubuntu compared to Windows 8 . But, of course, the operation is not so simple.

Ubuntu is free

, and LTS versions highly appreciated by users, but not everyone had discharged him why install it, and surely there are more than a discharge of the user. It would also be interesting to know whether the figure includes giving Shuttleworth Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu … As would be interesting to know the actual number of downloads (with handicap your Ubuntu release cycle is constant compared with Windows, even though the LTS are the highlight).

Meanwhile, Windows 8 is payment, although the Windows cheaper history , especially to upgrade from Windows 7 (which by the way is going to be your biggest rival, because the People seem to be very happy with him and the new interface changes do not appeal to everyone). Not to mention that comes preinstalled on almost any computer again.

On the market entry of Windows 8 has already said everything: sold like hotcakes (last link), which does not take off … The only thing that has become clear is that Windows 8 has surpassed in market share Linux (and no doubt that he is or will be: Windows is indisputably the king).

Of course there are many more factors to consider for even trying to compare really, but that’s not the purpose of this post (well, it is virtually impossible to count the use of Linux distros, we know ). So I will stop rolling the skein more to reach the heart of the matter, which is none other than that of 1% me smells a little expired . Not that I care too much, or I’m going to say now that Linux dominates the desktop, but the accounts do not come out and do I have to trust those gauges? I do not know …
