Doesnt alter the fact there's still barely any games! Not even old Loki stuff wrapped in a wrapper made to work on 'modern systems' or VM kind of things. Which I'm have to resort to in order to play my Alpha Centauri and Majesty =P

I haven't been keeping up but is there some advanced option in Steam on Linux to force download windows games on linux so I can run them on wine?
And, yes I did BUY some games that run on linux to show support, but would like to download my other windows games as well.

This is non-news, really. Oh no, a presumably very small number changed by a very small margin!

I only want to use windows, if I play games, not for downloading...

There are several people who report the survey popping up when they log into steam on Windows several times (not filling it out) but it never once popping up on Linux, even though their "account" was selected.

I do not like that it seems to be pure luck though.
But if I only look at myself, I played all available Linux games. ( at-least the ones I want to play )
And the last time I tried, Left For dead 2 run quite good, but not yet as good as on windows.
