[Magis]

Hello my name is Octavio and I just installed Ubuntu in my pc its a very nice OS it has a great hardware architecture and I enjoy using it more than windows. (You guys should try it )
There is a way to make it run in Linux with wine but not at 100% please SE make a version for linux users or make a version for Steam OS.

Thank you =D

lol, is 2014 "The Year of the Linux Desktop" like every year before that?

If companies adopted OpenGL over DirectX out of the gate, they could build games for all 3 platforms in one shot with a little conditional compilation with encapsulation. E.g. They build a FileSystem/Sound layer for Linux, Windows, and Mac from day one, then use conditional compilation to build the game for all 3 plats. It wouldn't cost them much more if they did it from day 1. And OpenGL is arguably as good or better than DirectX. Microsoft is even considering supporting WebGL in IE 11 and has rumored a tablet with Windows and Android installed. They could be changing their ways in the future.

DirectX isn't just 3D rendering, it's a whole suite for game development. Sound, input, networking, etc. Direct3D is to OpenGL.

Regardless, the ARR and 1.0 engines probably use OpenGL for ease of porting to the PS3 and PS4. I don't recall any DX runtimes being installed when I installed the game.
