Thank you for posting Mille! ^^
Maybe and some hints would be nice. :-)

Great initiative, there are more and more games that are coming on Linux / SteamOS, here some links:

The video for WeaponizedChess is adorable :) I don't even have Linux and I still wanna buy that game full price directly from Steam just to give money to that guy.

I still use Windows for gaming purposes even if I mainly use Linux for development. So this is of no interest to me. However, this is a nice addition for those 100% using Linux for everything including gaming.

Well, in that case I'll wait for the reveal and see if anything looks interesting. In my opinion this one is riskier than usual so I see no point in pre-ordering it.

Umm... Sorry if I'm missing something but is this a random set of linux compatible games or does it actually list them somewhere? Have to be honest... not too fond of sites that place social media more prominently than the details of what they are selling.
Edit: Also, anybody who has bought from them before... do they usually have at least 1-2 decent games (similar to humble bundle/bundlestars) or is it generally just low quality crap?

Generally just crap. This like gambling. You can always buy games once revealed, they will still be cheap. But you just won't have crap ones. I have generally stopped buying from them blindly.
Buy it if :
Don't buy if :

Sorry, the social media stuff is what another user posted in this very thread. I just thought it would be useful and posted it in OP as well!
Regarding your other question; as the other two said, this is a pre-order. You don't know exactly what you will get (except for the background game and some basic info about the content in the bundle) though sometimes they will add hints that we sometimes guess correctly and which gets confirmed.
Anyways, so you don't know the content, but you will get the whole bundle cheaper aka $1.50 for the whole thing. If you wait until the countdown is over (24 hrs after the bundle launches) and the bundle content is revealed, then it will cost ~$3 for the full bundle. There's pros and cons in both options.
If you are more skeptic, I would suggest to wait and see when the bundle is live. Usually (from what I've noticed) when they don't add many hints it means the bundle isn't too great. But you never know! :p

Ah ok, thanks to everybody for filling me in. i'll wait til after the reveal but if they have at least onw good one, will probably pick it up.
Edit: And no need to be sorry :-) I just was leery to purchase without knowing what was going on and meant it had a bunch of social media on the site but no info on games and wasn't seeing the info that you guys explained. But I also didn't look too diligently either...

Same here, haha! But would have been 3 repeats if I didn't end up accidentally skipping that bundlestars bundle. :X
And indeed not bad! I was expecting much worse! Especially since we didn't get any hints! But there are several titles here on my wishlist, so well worth the $1.50 for me! ^.^

Bought it in the nick of time and I have 4 new games to play and 3 games to gift. ^^

I normally skip a $1.50 bundle with no hints, but made an exception to support Linux, and this is not bad.
