your desktop look

[XxGodOfWar2xX]

Mint is pretty nice, it's the one I'm using at my desktop computer. I like Cinnamon desktop manager, it's a good mix of GNOME 2 and 3. And Steam for Linux works fine too

I prefer to use Mint, but I'm having issues with Steam, so I'm again, using Winblows.

Fortunately for me Steam is in the official Arch repos :3

While we're on the topic, what's more annoying than an amazing game needing to update during the time you really want to play it (oh and it's a steam game)?

That's the same for PS3.

That's not the issue. I have it installed, but it will not start my games.

Do you have ia32-libs and ia32-libs-multiarch installed? Also, after a quick search I found this:

I managed find a workaround for this this and I suspect that it'll work for you too, rodvil, since my configuration is similar to yours (a Radeon card with open source drivers).

I googled for "libGL error: failed to load driver: r600" and found this thread on FTL forums: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3499 . It seems that the open source drivers require a newer version of libstdc++.so.6 library than is provided with FTL and removing, renaming or moving the the file causes FTL to load the newer version which is provided with the distribution.

The file in question is located in Steam's FTL folder (for me this is /home/YOURUSER/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/FTL\ Faster\ Than\ Light/data/amd64/lib, this of course depends where you set Steam to be installed). For 32-bit users it's in x86/lib.

I hope this helps and that this is fixed in future updates.

Which apparently helped a few people get it running. I have very little experience with mint. In all honesty, if you want to run steam you should probably use Arch.

I already got rid of Linux Mint, and Windows 8. Went back to Win7 and Fedora...(Which I want to die)
