As usual thanks to SteamDB it looks like Arma 3 could be heading to Linux. Arma 3 is a massive military sandbox from Bohemia Interactive and I am sure it will excite a lot of people.

This is by no means confirmed, remember content from SteamDB can always be an accident, or simple internal tests, but it's still exciting. I have personally emailed Bohemia Interactive for comments, and I will be sure to update you if they say anything to us.

On the SteamDB history for Arma 3 is this:

Quoting: evergreenthis port would bring mass of people to linux!

... like all those ports of big games before did!
Erm...

BTW, when Steam for Linux went public, we had 2% of Linux users, now it's 1. :-(

Steam user base has also been growing exponentially these years. In fact if Linux user base maintains at ~1%, it means that it's growing the same way as the rest of the user base. See: https://steamdb.info/blog/valve-at-gdc-2015-recap/
[Edit] Well, in fact, after doing some maths, Linux user base has almost not grown... my mistake.
