I have heard about Desura for a long time, mostly by techno-hipsters that say it is way much tr00 better then steam. Although not opposed, I saw little reason to signup for another digital distribution platform. Then, well surfing the internet, I found that Desura is working on a Linux client. What??? After my disappointment with the rumored Steam Linux client, and only partial success with Wine :P, I was ecstatic.
OK, enter longing. The Linux client is not live yet, and being held in closed beta. So close, I can taste it. Soon....very soon.....native Linux game distribution.
And I installed Desura on my Win box too :)
Just got the invite! Have to wait till after work to try it out. Thank you good sirs.
so far so good on games my linux laptop can reasonably be expected to run
