An anonymous reader writes "Valve Software, in their Linux Steam / Source Engine effort, plus the rumored Steam Box, is continuing to hire top Linux developers. So far they have poached the lead developers of the DarkPlaces open-source engine used by Nexuiz/Xonotic, the founder of Battle for Wesnoth, and just yesterday they hired Sam latinga, creator of Simple DirectMedia Layer. According to Michael Larabel, they are still trying to hire more Linux kernel developers, driver experts, and other 'extremely talented Linux developers.'"

Not only top Linux talent... by uxaskalli · 2012-07-14 10:36 · Score: -1, Troll

...but they have also recruited a top Linux site for all their public relations! Or has anything on Valve's Linux efforts come from any other source than Phoronix?

I've run into plenty of people who say that it isn't real Linux because it isn't GNU/Linux.
