Apply To Be Part Of The Valve Linux Beta

Well from those 3 games i would like to test serious sam 3 as i know the old game part 1 + 2. I thought an uncut version of l4d2 would be nice to test

Just filled in the survey. The driver question was a little silly, but it is not such a big deal.

necro-lover: Plenty of ex-windows users have steam accounts, so requiring people to have a steam account is reasonable. Chillax my friend.

Really bad survey.

I can understand that they want only ubuntu users for now (looking at the driver choices), but they specifically tell that they want the test to be performed on different hardware. How am I supposed to know which one of the 4 machines I have (and can easily dual boot to Ubuntu just for Steam testing) are least common?! What has my day-to-day choice of DE to Steam gaming? Isn't the whole point of testing to do it on at least few DEs or raw window managers? Same with drivers, if I'm going to be testing, I'd test both the OSS and closed source drivers for the GPU...

Guys, don't forget that the linux world is new for Valve. They may expect linux users to be like windows users, hence the bad survey. So our job now is to show them that we are different just like the OS we choose.

I see no reason why a deb for U would not work on Debian when done correctly.

Sorry, my point was that choosing anything different than Ubuntu in
the survey won't (probably) grant you access to the beta this time.

No survey for me using Firefox on Ubuntu 12.10, just submits emediatly...

I had the exact same problem with chromium. I clicked the login button and then I was immediately thanked for submitting the survey, even though I hadn't been presented with any options.

If I try to repeat the survey I get the message: "You have already completed the survey. Thanks!".


Rather frustrating.

I had no problem, I used ubuntu 12.10 and Firefox 16.0.2.
For those who had problem, it could be the cookies settings.

Can't you just create another Steam account for the beta (as a workaround)?
Of course you still need a setup which works...

I recommend that you guys don't fill out the survey. Especially the mentally ill necro-lover. Do us all a favor and don't get anywhere near Steam and its games.

That way there's more of a chance for us non-whiners to get selected.

Exactly. Something good comes to Linux and people have nothing better do to than to be butthurt crybabys whining about a stupid survey.
