There are 1,500 Linux compatible games on Steam
While that number is significant, there's still a way to go before there is anything near parity. By just July this year, there were 1,592 new games added to Steam, which is already more than how many support Linux. Steam averages at eight new games added every day. How's that pile of shame looking now?
Still, it's a nice step in the right direction, with Linux users able to narrow the store by operating system. If you browse the store and select only Windows-compatible games - for comparison's sake - the store shows a lofty 13,621 games.
With services like Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter getting more studios onto the platform, the amount of games added to Steam every day is only going up. Hopefully more developers see that there's much less competition on Steam for games compatible with Linux. It seems like a no-brainer when you look at it like that.
With Steam Machines releasing soon and being powered by a Debian-based SteamOS GNU/Linux operating system, it's likely we'll see many more games become compatible sooner rather than later.

"Windows 10"
You should feel stupid for saying that.
Windows 7 is what you should say.
Even for not knowing what linux even is.
Windows 8 is better than windows 7.
8 is bigger than 7. But 10 is bigger than the 8. Bigger is better. If your small then it's bad. You need to be bigger in 20 min. Upgrade mayne. It's 10/10 ign rating.

You can fully customize the configuration to meet your preferences because of open source.
Everything is free with Linux.
If there is a bug you can patch it yourself instead of waiting for Microsoft or Apple to patch it.
