There are over 1000 games for Linux in steam now. No way to list them all (or even just the really good ones)!Originally Posted by PsychoFish

There is a list however...

985 Confirmed titles that work
289 Titles currently being worked on for possible support
Interesting.
I prefer to get it straight from the horse's mouth: Steam
About twice a year I run Linux to see how far we have come. I am not quite ready to drop my Windows installation, but it sure is looking good for the future.
I was wondering
- what distro's you guys use for your gaming?
- how will the free Windows 10 affect Linux for gaming?
I use Ubuntu (only LTS versions), currently my laptop is running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and everything just works out the box.
Personally I think the more game developers embrace Linux the more hardware vendors (Specifically nVidia & AMD) will step up with drivers and enhanced support. I do believe that PC gaming can ultimately become OS independent and we have Lord GabeN to thank for the pushes in that direction. Personally I'm not ready yet for a full transition of my gaming desktop to Linux just yet, but on the laptop I'm quite happy to run Linux. Battery life on Linux is insane and I still use everything I'm accustomed to (yes, even MS Office)
I run Ubuntu, and I'm usually on the latest version (currently 14.10). Sometimes I wait a few weeks or even months before upgrading to make sure the biggest niggles are fixed.
Not sure the launch of Windows 10 will alter the trajectory of PC gaming's evolution at all. Agree with [MENTION=6600]PsychoFish[/MENTION] that as more game developers release Linux builds of their games with PC & Mac, AMD and Nvidia will have to start supporting their Linux drivers better.
Also agree that the rise of gaming on Linux is currently linked to Steam's adoption of the OS. If SteamOS and Steam Machines tank for some reason, the increasing quality and support for gaming on Linux will probably plateau way before it rivals Mac, let alone Windows.
