This new community site is all about Steam for Linux and gaming on Linux generally. Here we want to unite all the Linux users wishing to play their Steam games on Linux. And of course this community site should be a message to Valve with a request for Steam client for Linux.

Look, stop talking down about Linux. I use both Windows and Linux and although I personally prefer Windows I don't believe that people should be judged by their taste in operating system. People are allowed to ask for Linux support if they wish. Also, Valve is awesome. That is all.

I second your comments. I used to use both OS X and Gnu/Linux; now I simple use Fedora 16. I'd like to see Both Portal games ported to Desura. Valve rock!

If the source engine ever gets ported to linux it will almost certainly be distributed via a linux port of valve's steam client. No way will Valve put their products on a rival system.
