Steam really has done an amazing job making Linux systems viable gaming platforms.
The manner in which they've done so shows a delightful understanding of the "unix philosophy" in so many ways, too.
Last month I was doing hardware changes on our home systems, my daughter's steam install and mine copied to new systems with a quick "tar" and no fuss; which was a very pleasant discovery.
They've rarely if ever (that I've seen) gone to extra effort to introduce warts the user has to deal with. Opening up the new deck hardware to show us how to do so, etc... Good eggs there.
