When you talk about operating systems right now, mostly you’re talking about Windows 10 and the upsides and downsides of Microsoft’s latest offering. However that doesn’t mean that others aren’t doing well in their own ways and right now Linux is looking good with the number of games on Steam that support it at 1,500 which is an all-time high.

Of course, that’s nowhere near the ones that are only-compatible with Windows (13,621), but it is a step in the right direction with Steam offering the ability to narrow down game selection by operating system. With Kickstarter and Greenlight both going strongly and the indie game scene going from strength to strength the number of games that work for the penguin logoed OS are only set to increase in future, which can only be a good thing. The fact the Steam Machines that will be releasing soon work on a Debian-based SteamOS GNU/Linux operating system won’t hurt that number increase either.
