@andrew_ribbons What the heck are you talking about?
Nobody's telling you to install Linux or partition your hard drive. No one invited you, my friend.
This is a beta test, meaning that is somewhat limited and possibly with bugs and performance issues. No one said "Oh hey! Steam is now fully working under Linux, and it just has 2 games, forever!"
This is the first step. Hopefully, we'll see many games released both under Windows and Linux.
