That's just sad. My 60+ year old parents are using Linux after years of frustrations due to malware and viruses in Windows. One uses Ubuntu and the other Linux Mint. Took a couple weeks for them to get used to it, but they know how to do everything they did before on their computers including updates and basic troubleshooting (like trying a new mouse if your obscure shit mouse doesn't work).
Yet somehow this game developer can't get the hang of it... That's pathetic.

"Developer". Has anyone actually seen the state of the 3+ year old alpha trash heap that is Rust? 300mb update fucks up performance, 1 gig update fixes it but causes glitches, another 800mb update brings back the textures but causes a Titan to lag, the next update causes anyone with nvidia drivers to crash, etc, and this is after 3 fucking years of early access/alpha status. Don't get me wrong, someone is literally always working on it (updates at all hours) but nobody knows what the fuck they are doing.

If you search the Garry's Mod Steam forums you'll get 455 entries(it's even worse if you search for Mac) with a majority of people reporting crashing, and unplayability. I wonder why no one is playing this on Linux... I would have bought this game a long time ago if not for the fact that every other update seems to break the Linux build.

This. I bought Rust because it looked fucking awesome, but it runs like shit on Linux. It's no surprise that nobody is playing it.
Garry has a history of being a bit of a tool where Linux is concerned. And, in fact, a bit of a tool in general. He's another Phil Fish waiting to happen.

I spend most of my time on Xubuntu and have yet to get a release of Rust that was playable. The windows version works just fine when I boot into Windows 8.1. They clearly do not run regression tests on all platforms before releasing. I'm sure the devs are using my playtime on Windows to justify the neglect.

Last time I played it it wasn't any fun at all anyway. It was full of hackers and griefers. It was a miserable experience.

I don't know about rust, but Garry's Mod works fine on linux for me.

Garry is a scumbag, aside from the fact that he won't support linux.

But Garry's Mod has linux support, but it's a shitty port anyways. Runs better in wine.

Really?
It works perfectly for me (except for a small issue with checkboxes when you want to make a listen server, but that seems to be upstream).
What's your graphics card? I'm on a Nvidia GTX 660, proprietary drivers, works great. I used to have AMD and it was barely playable at best, no matter which drivers I used.
