<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Yeah, I know and use it on new installs because it's easy to check if anything is missing but the nvidia driver was already installed, I play other games that need it too off of Steam. I just mentioned it because I had to track down why my game wouldn't play. Once I saw the solution it was a simple apt-get install away.</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:44px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I'm running 64-bit Kubuntu 12.10 & 13.04 on multiple computers with multiple hardware levels and the only problems I've had is that the Steam client doesn't install any dependencies and I always get an 'out of date' message box on startup. I have to admit the dependency problem happened in the first week of that the Steam client was released so it may have gotten some KDE love since then. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:44px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">One more thing to look out for if you are running Kubuntu 12.04 64-bit is if you can install ia32libs at all. There was/is a nasty bug where a 64-bit--32-bit conflict appeared waaaay down the line of dependencies so that you couldn't install _any_ 32-bit libraries. Fixed in 12.10 & 13.04. I couldn't play Limbo until I upgraded :( </p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:44px; margin-right:40px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Also, any opinions on whether its easier to run the games under 32 bit rather than 64 bit?<br /></p>
