不会再有人说“Linux上没有游戏市场”了。 经过几年的耐心等待和无尽的流言，现在任何人都可以在Linux上使用Steam平台了。紧随着几个月的beta测试，昨天Valve献给开源世界一个“情人节大礼”：Steam For Linux客户端完全发布。
官方提供的版本即在beta阶段使用的版本，是为Ubuntu设计的，可以在Ubuntu软件中心找到。然而，如果你是一个Fedora用户，你可以使用 Tom Callaway创建和维护的Steam yum repo。
为了庆祝这次发布，截止到2月21日上午10点，超过50个支持Linux的游戏有50-75%的折扣。如果你从未玩儿过，我强烈推荐World of Goo，售价2.49美元。World of Goo之前只对Linux可用，而且卖得非常好。如果你已经玩儿过这个基于模型的游戏，你还拥有不少的选择，从高度流行的标题如Half-Life（2.49美元）和《反恐精英：起源》（4.99美元）到缩写为SPAZ的太空战斗游戏Space Pirates and Zombies（2.49美元）。
Steam将为《团队要塞2》的Linux玩家限时免费提供一个企鹅吉祥物虚拟物品。
尽管最初的报道说Linux版本将不包括大图模式，用游戏控制器和电视机使用Steam得到提高。但这确实是包里的一部分，使Linux用户玩儿游戏更为简单。

英文原文：Steam client finally available to all Linux users (with a game sale!)
No longer will anyone be able to say "there's just no market for gaming on Linux." After years of patient waiting and an endless stream of rumors, anyone can now have Steam on Linux. Following several months of beta testing, Valve gave the open source world a Valentine's gift yesterday by fully releasing the Steam for Linux client.
The officially offered version that was also used in the beta was designed for Ubuntu and is available in the Ubuntu Software Center. However, if you're a Fedora user, you can use theSteam yum repo created and maintained by Tom Callaway.
To celebrate the release, more than 50 Linux titles are 50-75% off through Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. PST. If you've never played it, I highly recommend World of Goo, available for $2.49. World of Goo has previously been available directly for Linux and sold remarkably well. So if you've already plowed through that delightful physics-based game, you have quite a few choices, from highly popular titles like Half-Life ($2.49) and Counter-Strike: Source ($4.99) to Space Pirates and Zombies ($2.49), a space combat game abbreviated SPAZ.
For a limited time, Steam users who play Team Fortress 2 on Linux (one of the first games made available, even to beta testers) will get a free Tux penguin mascot as an in-game tradeable item.
Despite initial reports that the Linux version would not include Big Picture mode, which enhances steam for use with a game controller and television, it is indeed a part of the package, making gaming even easier for Linux users.
