Get a free limited-time promo item in TF2 by playing the game in Linux

Title says it all. You get a little penguin item.

For anyone not interested, I'll gladly buy said item off you. I don't have Linux to be able to get it myself.

Can't you just install it on a virtual machine?

I suggested the same yesterday.

No, I'm an idiot. And I also have insane hard drive space problems. Only have ~20gb left on this drive, and that's even with all my files on an external. Steam doesn't let you install to external, so my game collection destroyed this already-small hard drive.

No way in hell I could install a separate OS/VM, let alone install another game on top of it.

It's much easier to just trade for it. At least for me. Anyone who already has Linux, it's easier to just load the game. So hopefully I can find someone who can do that.

20gb is more than enough to run TF2 on a VM...

Yeah, if I want to only have 5gb left.

They aren't tradable. You can only get it if someone logs into your account on a Linux OS.

They'll probably eventually become tradable

Like everything else ._.

IDK. Given what happened with buds, I wouldn't be surprised if not.
