Steam for Linux is real and not another cruel April Fools prank. The gamer inside me is extremely excited about this, and after re-reading Phoronix’ article a dozen times, about how Gabe Newell is now a Linux Evangelist, it makes sense.

I bought Prince of Persia (The newer one, without a title) on Steam, and I had to play it on 'low' settings. I rented it for the Xbox and it played on medium or high. Who knows, but it was enjoyable. Since then I haven't booted the Windows partition on the aging Desktop. I'd love to completely replace the Xbox 360 with a "SteamBox", a dedicated computer running Linux + Steam and play games like Batman's Arkham Asylum, Prince of Persias, and sure, why not, Final Fantasies. I'd settle with being able to play the Portals and the Half Lifes, the Team Fortresses and the Left For Deads that the Valve team might churn up later :-) I bought an Xbox 360 because I have an old Desktop computer with Windows Vista (And Fedora 16) on it.
