Installed it last weekend, and found it slightly unstable, and I needed
to
kill -9 it a couple of times (this was on Kubuntu 12.10, with NVidia)
The UX needs a bit of work as well - it's not possible to filter by
platform
(at least not that I could find in the list of Demos), so scrolling
through
100 Windows only titles to find the lone Linux compatible demo was a
bit
annoying.
The demo then didn't work, so I wasn't that impressed.
Until a significant number of AAA titles start getting ported though,
I'll
be sticking with the PS3.
