Alienware, a computer manufacturer that is well known for the quality and power of its systems, has partnered up with Crytek for a very interesting goal, to ignite Linux-based game development. You might ask yourself why does Alienware care about Linux development at all? The answer is actually pretty simple. It has an important stake in it.
