Steam update:
– (Linux) Fixed excessive Steam cpu use when running Team Fortress 2

Anakin, get on the case of FPS testing.

New test:
My game runs in fullscreen, 1680×1050, with low fps settings.

Nvidia 313.09 drivers.
8800 GT.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 OC’d @ 3 GHz

Timedemo results:
Ubuntu 12.10 64bit with Cinnamon:
87 FPS
88 FPS

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit with Unity:
93 FPS
95 FPS

Windows 7 64bit:
90 FPS
91 FPS

EDIT:

Looks like I am getting better FPS with Unity than Cinnamon, and it is slightly higher than Windows 7!

Will try, but looks like I’ll have to make a new demo, this one keeps crashing all the time now for some reason.

I guess by Gnome Classic you mean the fallback mode?
I’ve uninstalled all the gnome stuff considering that they plan to remove the fallback mode someday.
I still have MATE though, which is a fork of Gnome 2.

Yeah meant Gnome Fallback/Classic/2 or whatever people like to call it.

Thanks for the tests!

It makes me sad it runs best with unity, I heavily dislike it :(

KDE:
71 FPS
72 FPS

KDE (desktop effects suspended):
77 FPS
78 FPS

Can I somehow use the files from my windows-install to run TF2 on ubuntu or do I need to waste another 10-15 GB on my ssd?

Haven’t installed steam yet, not sure if I should bother, is TF2 fully functional?

you can probably do some linking with “ln -s blabla” for the gcfs atleast

I finally have a reason to install Linux!
