Valve has been doing a lot of good work for the Linux community since its announcement of Steam Play – a way for users to access Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of games with a single purchase in 2010 and over 3000 of the added games have Linux support.

On the 21st of August, Steam announced the beta release of a modified Steam Play with improvements to the project that they started working on 2 years ago.
