The thing I found weird about this, is I've been running Portal in Wine for ages, and it seems to run better than it does under Windows!
Portal 1 is out but not Portal 2 by liamdawe · 2013-05-05 07:00 · Score: 5, Interesting

Since Phoronix claimed originally it was both just to clear it up only Portal 1 is out for Linux, there are no hints about Portal 2 despite this article stating it and linking to a source for Portal 2 (the source of that info is an idiot). Daily linux gaming news can be found on www.gamingonlinux.com by the way :) where we actually check facts properly ;)
