I installed this on my netbook running Arch last night, really excited because I had steam keys for all of the linux-capable games in the current Humble Bundle.

Sadly, the ones I tried all said they're not supported on my platform. bubble.Burst();

Is your netbook powerful enough to run games?

Netbooks may not be equipped with the latest and greatest 3D, but a lot of indie games are essentially 2D, just using the 3D for compositing. There's no reason those wouldn't work.

Unless they need a hardware accelerated OpenGL implementation to run, because they don't have a software renderer?
