Valve have officially announced the release of Steam for Linux, following months of beta testing. The client is now available to download from the Ubuntu software Centre.
To celebrate, Valve are holding a sale on all Linux games until 5AM AEDT on February 22. You can pick up Amnesia: The Dark Descent for $5, the original Half-Life for a paltry $2.50, or Bastion for just $3.75, among others.
Team Fortress 2 players who play from their Linux installs of the game will receive a free Tux item for use as well, so get cracking! That offer is only valid until the end of the month.

Had it on my Ubuntu laptop for a while now. Was a little surprised how many games out of my 250ish I was able to play, around 40. Mostly indie titles, but still cool. And FTL was part of that list, so win win.
mindsnare,
Just looked at the list and was quite surprised as well, some good games there.
Mean while, Origin is now on Mac… Just thought people should know.
Yes, fascinating. Thanks for…that…information… <_<
Will be interesting to see if Tuxes become a new form of currency in TF2. >.>
Damn going to have to get a new linux distro, and install steam/tf 2 to get that item >_<
Perhaps you should go tell people this in a topic that’s relevant to Origin.
I think he was trying to point out the hypocrisy of the Origin hate in that something positive happens with it and the news is completely ignored yet the negative articles keep on rolling in.
was it positive when swine flu became available on humans?
