The Valve Linux Team

Our mission is to strengthen the gaming scene on Linux, both for players and developers. This includes Linux ports of Steam and Valve games, as well as partner games. We are also investigating open source initiatives that could benefit the community and game developers.

Initially formed in 2011, the Valve Linux team is currently 11 people and growing. Our mission is to investigate open source development with a specific focus on supporting Steam and other Valve products on the Linux platform. The Linux background of our team varies from those who have a deep knowledge of Linux development to those who have just scratched the surface. However, one thing we all share is a great passion for supporting all things Valve on Linux. If you share that same great passion and think you have what it takes to join our team, let us know!

It could be. Heck, I noticed Gog.com updating their store for Mac users now also.

I believe dosbox can be ran on linux, so their is a ton of games out there.

Since Ubuntu wasn’t included on the list in November, it would appear as if it went from 0 percent to 0.8 percent in just a month. In fact, that’s exactly what happened, except in just 11 days.
