Would you consider Linux gaming?
The amount of games on linux is certainly getting bigger,but it's still not enough.

Shouldn't it say 100% Windows (or 100% - unknown)?
Either way, 29.4% Linux, 6.4% unknown.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Probably it's referring to games that ONLY run on Windows and not another OS, but still, it's incorrect since those Linux games aren't "linux only"

Linux: 37,7%
Windows: 52,5%
Unknown: 9,6%
I'm currently dual-booting. All that's keeping me on Windows is my backlog of Windows games that I want to finish playing, and also Unreal Engine 4, which is coming to Linux soon, but it's currently in early access, and needs some more work. As soon as those two things are done, I'm away.

I do not know why but for me does not work. Anyway, over 1/3 of the games that I have already have Linux support - how many of them really work without problem under Linux is another matter.:)
And you forgot Linux - Wine option (which I personally prefer.)
I hope things will develop even better in the future for us :)

Oh, this is pretty cool!
Roughly 50% of the games I own are playable on Linux, 65% of the games that I've played more than 5 hours are.
I've been thinking about dual-booting but I'm not really sure if there are any benefits.

That site is missleadingly reporting the data. The Windows count is Windows ONLY while the Linux count is whatever runs on Linux.
It should either report Windows only vs Linux only (in which case Linux gets 0%), OR, report all the games that run on Windows vs all the games that run on Linux (in which case Windows gets 100%).

The site clearly says that it checks for Linux compatibility. Nowhere is it implied that the Linux compatible games are exclusives.

It's shows differently measured data on the same pie chart. That's misleading no matter how you look at it.

Because the percentage of games that don't support Linux are labeled as Windows games? How else would you label them?
Comment has been collapsed.
"No Linux support" would be a better label than "Windows".

I agree, though I can hear the criticism already: "Wait, that's unfair - the site doesn't show that those games are also available on Windows!"
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, the site clearly states what it's about, it's just that the way the information is presented gives the wrong impression, so I doubt they would actually get a lot of people who would complain about that (plus, almost every game on steam works in Windows anyway).

Exactly. It makes no sense to label then "Windows" when the rest are on Windows too. They're just not on Linux.

It shows Linux Compatibility vs Windows exclusivelity (or rather, no-linux Windows). That's two completely different things. And that's why the funny "7% unknown OS" is in the OP's post

Unknown 7.1% (but I do know at least some of these do run on linux, just that the steam page is gone so no way for the checker to know)

My guess is, too many games. Browsers crash when viewing large games lists on Steam, so it probably crashes the script as well. stpaul also has lots of games, so this kinda confirms my suspicions.

44% linux \o/
I'm waiting my new laptop (hopefully early next week) which I bought without an OS so it can be linux only! (I may do a small windows partition for specific windows only games)

doesn't matter, i wouldn't change windows for anything.

53% Linux. Most of my favourite games seem to be able to run under Linux (except Dark Souls, Fallen Enchantress, and Duck Game - though this one might later), which is good, since I'm considering switching to it in the near future.

Linux: 31.1%

729 games in my library with linux versions. Wow, just wow. That's kinda mind blowing considering how rare it was to find linux games just 5 or so years ago. I might need to install some linux distro again and give some games a try some day.

I think that a lot of them are not actually supported, but they run (more or less) if you use wine.
PS: According to steam, there are about 2500 Linux games on Steam.

I have a public profile and I entered my ID but... "Can't load the list. User may have a private profile or be incorrectly spelled".

Same problem here. I guess it doesn't work for people with 2k+ games

Same for me. Tried vanity url and steam64, both returned error, and I have the same suspicion it's due to too many games to list.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not only ;p
Same problem here
a little more than 300 games

1041 out of 4085, a little bit over 25%.
Note this approximation is not accurate, since the Linux tab may have non-games listed.

Interesting experiment, especially for those like myself who are considering going Linux only.
You can check your library here: http://steam.bravehost.com/
Linux: 38.5%
Windows: 54.2%
Unknown: 7.3%
Quite pleased that Borderlands, The Long Dark, Superhot, Tabletop Simulator, Dying Light, Alien Isolation are all available on Linux. However, I'm disappointed that AoeIIHD, Brawlhalla, Dishonored, Deus Ex: HR, Grim Dawn, Telltale Games, Warhammer: Vermintide, and many others are not.
So how about you?
