Looks like a lot we will all be kept quite busy when the proper release comes out!
Killing Floor is quite an interesting one on the list, one i personally own and I am shocked it will be on Linux, I did previously contact them to ask to no reply so seeing this is awesome. Doing a bit of research i did manage to find this post on the Steam forum and the devs themselves replied saying they are interested but wanted to see demand, i guess demand was big enough!
I am still personally holding hope that Desurium will come out with a full release in a couple months and continue to be developed.
I am sure most of us would still prefer an open source game client even with Steam, whether that is Desurium or otherwise, an open source client would be easier to fix/integrate with different desktops, people can pick it apart for any security bugs, people can pick it apart to improve performance etc etc there are many advantages to open source.
That said a number of well known in the Linux community are actually working on the client so I'm sure it will work great.
