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.

It is if you know how to use it.
Agreed. I use Ubuntu and I love it. In my opinion it is way better.

It's better in many ways you just don't know how to use it.

yo2434JoyfulMods2277ME0W I've never even considered using Linux because all I've heard about it is that it's harder to use.
Yea I have been told on several occasions that Linux is alot harder to use, and less user friendly. Hence why I haven't switched. Doubt I will, unfortunately
Linux is a pain when it comes to gaming, there's hardly any support haha
not sure about gaming on a linux machine, but i like them pretty well in the limited use i have using them in my programming classes at college.
You people don't know what you're talking about, lol. Linux is made for the people and, literally, by the people. It's an open ended OS that you practically create and code yourself. Yes, it's hard if you go for the high end model. But they've got user friendly versions for people who want the secure, anti-virus OS which is literally simple as can be.
Linux is made for programming and/or hacking/modding. It's not meant for gaming, even though they run very good processes and are better Server machines. That's why games aren't supported. There are too many versions of the OS for them to be mainstream.
