Valve bringing Steam and Source to Linux

Picture from Valve bringing Steam and Source to Linux

Linux gamers are a hardy bunch. One can only play Nethack and BZFlag for so long. After years of rumors, the unthinkable is finally happening: Steam is coming to Linux. Along with it, Valve is porting their Source engine, so you’ll be able to play your favorite Valve games without dual-booting. Can Valve do for Linux gaming what it did for Mac? Valve hasn’t talked about release dates, but you can expect it “when it’s ready.”
