Since some games have started listing Linux as a supported platform in the Steam CDR, we can now keep track of what games will be there. Currently, the list goes:
The list is likely to grow during the next couple of weeks, since it's still missing most of the Humble Bundles - hopefully the devs will be putting their builds there.
- World of Goo (+ demo)
- Eversion - new to Linux
- Trine 2
- Serious Sam 3: BFE (+ dedicated server) - new to Linux
- Galcon Fusion
- SpaceChem
- Steel Storm
- Solar 2 - new to Linux
- Dynamite Jack
- Crusader Kings II - new to Linux
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- Waveform - new to Linux
- Cubemen

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
But yeah, many of the Humble devs have already expressed that they will be getting the ports there, so it's probably certain. I just hope I get into the beta, whenever the signups are open.
Also, that's the guy that's porting Vessel, [URL='http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/10zana/vessel_information_search_indie_humble_bundle/']apparently[/URL] they're close to having it on QA, shouldn't be long after that that we all get it.
It's been interesting to watch as each CDR (Content Description Record) with Linux in its validoslist parameter has appeared. For anybody who's not already keeping track of this stuff, a searchable (though, sadly, it's not possible to search specifically for Linux titles) mirror of Steam's CDR database can be found at http://cdr.thebronasium.com
There are [URL='http://steamlinux.flibitijibibo.com/index.php?title=Native_Games']many games[/URL] with Linux clients that are also on Steam, but don't have Linux listed in their CDR.
Here's the CDR for Trine if you want to keep an eye on it: http://cdr.thebronasium.com/app/35700
Edit: Ooher, I just discovered that the Marlamin CDR mirror has been updated to allow for Linux title searching: http://marlamin.com/cdr/search.php?s=linux&searchby=os
Oh, sorry. You're right. I didn't spot the link in your first post :)
I am just looking forward to a seamless update experience without me having to visit different websites or resorting to the buggy Desura client (Desurium still has problems with updating :().
Oh, and btw., nothing surprising about Dynamite Jack, they were on the Humble Store with the native Linux version for some time now.
