I am curious, if you buy these, do you also get the windows version, or is the linux & window stuff separate?

It looks like you get all platforms. Just to test it I added FTL to my cart, and in the cart, it shows the game followed by the STEAMPLAY logo and then the windows, mac, and linux logos. Can't be 100% positive until I make a purchase (tonight probably), but it looks like the answer to your question is "yes, you also get the windows version."

I installed Steam on Linux the other day and my Linux compatible games that I had purchased on Windows appeared (Bastion, CS: Source, FTL, Team Fortress 2 Beta, World of Goo). Played FTL already, trying Bastion next.

Oh wow most of those games look terrible, was hoping there would be something good on there worth buying

Thanks. I grabbed Serious Sam 3 + DLC for 80% off.

Same here. Great game. I play most of my games on Windows, and use Ubuntu for everything else but never turn down games that work on both.

Actually most of those games are pretty good.

Have you played FTL? Worth $5?

Definitely worth 5 bucks! Challenging game, but it is easy to end up playing for hours.

The games are tied to your account, not your computer or platform.

FTL is fantastic and very addicting. It is simple in concept but extremely well executed. It can also be very challenging and it takes time to unlock everything.

As others have said. Great game. I bought it for $5 during the holiday sale and have no regrets. Very good game, hard, but good.

Agree. I wish it was on iOS, though.

Cool...figure I'll boot up ubuntu on the spare partition, install TF2, and grab the funky bonus item

I won't spend $5 on it, I already know I won't like it I watched game play videos of it online and it's not my type of game

Yep. Put your old parts to use! This weekend I configured one of my computers to dual boot OS X Mountain Lion and Linux Mint, each on a different second-gen SSD taken from my spare parts pile. I configured Mint to look like the Earthy Desktop. Now I'm buying a few of these Linux games to show support for Valve's efforts to get away from reliance on Microsoft.
