Some non-Steam Linux related news for you today folks (I know shocker right!).
RuneSoft the game porter for Linux, Mac and others are bringing their games to Desura, be sure to keep an eye on their group here. Previously their games where disc only so this seems to be a good milestone for them!
Desurium
Desurium is hitting a milestone this week folks, it is being polished up left-right and centre for all you lovely gamers to enjoy. It looks like their 0.8 Initial Linux Release is being finished up (if it isn't already), it includes rather a lot of fixes since the initial Desura Linux release.
I can attest to the fact that it is a lot nicer to use than the current very outdated build for Linux. It's more stable, faster and slightly better looking due to a few niggles sorted out.
They could still use help in the way of patches, have a look at their growing todo list here and see if you can help with anything, so that for those of you not wanting to use Steam's closed client you have a good alternative! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

They have an impressive catalogue, but they should definitely not overcharge for their last-century games. Introduce a price model like gog.com. I would love to buy "Feeble Files" or any of the "Ankh" titles for $5.

In a word: awesome! :D
I just hope they treat both Linux and Mac in fairly equal terms, since they have been primarily a Mac based porting house in the past.

Great! But the pricing is a bit steep on those titles. I mean I can't justify 20€ on such old games, I'd much rather just drop some cash on Crusader Kings II.

To be fair, we do not know what the prices will be for a digital download.
What I would really love is to see Hyperion Entertainment put some of their old games up, but I doubt that will ever happen.

They have taken at least two people on to fix up Linux ports ;), one of them does some of the LIFLG stuff.
