I wrote to the Postal 3 devs a few days back and asked them if there will actually be a Source engine on Linux and if other Source titles will be available on the platform too and their answer was:
"we are definately working towards this! keep in touch!"
Since I can't imagine a setup in which Valve would sell their titles without Steam and the Steam platform itself should be the easiest part to port to Linux I still see this happening later this year.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about Steam all I want is a working full Source engine on Ubuntu.

I can't say anything about how well Steam works (or doesn't) for every day gaming use but the few times I get my single player games from them it was a breeze to use.

So there is a confirmed Source game and Valve engineers working on porting technology. How would that NOT speak for a Linux title. But yeah I guess from the way you've ended your last sentence you wouldn't be the kind of guy that cares anyway.

Simple reason. Engines are always forked upon use. Hence changes on one game ( engine wise ) are not backportable to the main development trunk. So if one source game gets ported means nothing at all for steam especially since source and steam per-se are two different programs just requiring files of one another.
