It is nice to hear that a majority of the active Desura users like to have a Linux client.
In the last Desura poll, 80 % of the 618 votes are for the Linux client and also the comments are pro
Linux.

More interestingly is the reaction from the Desura team itself. One of the members of the german linux-gaming.de community wrote an email to the Desura Team asking them about the current state about the Linux client. Their response was very positiv as seen below.
Desura wrote: 80%... that is amazing. We are in talks with a developer now about how to
proceed. We are a small team so we estimate it to be a 6 month project but
it is definitely high on our list as Linux is a golden opportunity as you
point out
We all hope that this is going to happen, for real this time :).
Linux. I'm currently not sure how to go about selling on Linux though...
Desura having a Linux client would make things awesome.
Also, that is the only feature on the poll that would give you something that Steam lacks, which would be pretty sweet. :)
