Steam on Linux/Optimus on Linux
June 9, 2013 at 12:41 am (This post was last modified: June 9, 2013 at 12:48 am by Autumnlicious.)
So I've succeeded in sharing my Windows Steam directory with my Ubuntu install.

With bumblebee and primus, I've got access to my Optimus GT420m secondary GPU on my laptop.

Fucking rad.

I can develop in a POSIX environment with a real shell and play games now (Starcraft 2 almost works in Wine -- slight issue with matchmaking...)

And I can easily go back to Windows and share game data, documents via NTFS-3G on Archive partition.
