The good news just keeps coming, as Oxygen Not Included [Steam, Official Site] from Klei Entertainment is now officially available on Linux. It was only last week I noted about signs of it coming to Linux after a tip, since then I've been watching SteamDB like a hawk. You can see their official announcement here.
It doesn't yet have the SteamOS icon to indicate Linux support, but that should come soon.
Direct Link
Note: The game is in Early Access.
About the game:
In the space-colony simulation game Oxygen Not Included you’ll find that scarcities of oxygen, warmth and sustenance are constant threats to your colony's survival. Guide colonists through the perils of subterranean asteroid living and watch as their population grows until they're not simply surviving, but thriving...
Just make sure you don't forget to breathe.
I will hopefully have some thoughts up in future, but I am waiting to get a review key on this one, or once the next Patreon payment comes through. I'm extremely excited about it though, Klei games are always fantastic both in terms of style and gameplay and this looks like another great one.
Oxygen has proven quite popular too, with over four thousand people playing it on Steam right now, it also has many glowing user reviews.

Quoting: liamdawePlayed it on stream tonight, as it replaced ATOM RPG, which I wasn't feeling up for reading all the dialogue (I have a cold, ergh).

Yep, US-only as far as I know. In Britain, it's more common to say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. But not as a note of sympathy for someone who has a cold! If you did that, you would just sound very old fashioned and religious! :D

*lol* You're right. In an old habbit I'm saying "Gesundheit!" (translates to "(I wish you) health!" ) to people who are ill, forgetting that it's usually only used (here in Germany as well) when someone's sneezing. :)
One more question: I guess saying "Bless you!" when someone's sneezing is not strongly connected to religion nowadays?

Here in the US, I think that "God Bless you" does seem to be the most common, followed by the shorter, slightly less religious, "Bless you." At least from what I have seen.
"Gesundheit" is not used very often in the US, but, it is used often enough that people understand it when it is used.

Weren't a large portion of the original migrants to the US from Germany ?
I think that might have something to do with it , no ?

I think so. I even heard that the decision between English and German as the country's language was a close one. (Not sure about that.)
