From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact that I don't have to deal with lib32-gst-plugins-ugly/bad/ect is amazing, but I'll have to keep 32 bit libraries for Team Fortress 2 and other online Source games.
Should I not be playing the native Linux version? Or am I just an idiot who doesn’t understand how the game works?
Pretty sure TF2's VAC only works on the Linux version, otherwise it kicks you out when you try to join a match.
