The current Humble Monthly just became a much better deal for Linux gamers with two brand new early unlock titles.
Previously, it only had Overwatch (which is playable with Wine + DXVK) although there were some issues recently with Linux gamers being banned and then unbanned. Nice to know Blizzard was good enough to overturn the bans, but still a little risky.
Thankfully, Humble just added Dungeons 3 and Hidden Folks two native Linux games and they're both really quite good. Both games are wildly different and two titles I particularly enjoyed playing, so they're worth picking up.
Considering you also get access to the Humble Trove which has plenty of native Linux DRM free games and a 10% discount in the store, this month is looking like a reasonable deal. Check them out in the Humble Monthly.
They do also still have the The Humble One Special Day Bundle, which has Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition and OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood which have native Linux versions (some of the other games are known to work with Steam Play).
Edit: I did check that before writing the article, they're fine for me.

Oh your right, if I go into "purchases" I can, nvm! Dunno if I want to really tho. steamtrades is always an option for leftover games!
This month, I will not pause my subscription.
It's one click if you have all the requirements met. Which is not actually the case unless you've been using Wine (staging) to play a lot of other games. I had already been running Fortnite and Guild Wars 2, yet I still missed a lot of dependencies. In fact, I had to install the whole 32-bit recommended list for wine-staging to get whatever it was that the launcher needed.
How does this work? Is it with gifts in your account and/or keys you've never used?
Hey! you just dont redeem the keys, and the I put up them on my "have" on steamtrades.com , and then when you trade you click "gift to a friend -> make a link" (on humblebundle) and give them the link. The person with the most +rep gets their keys first, and then you get yours. You connect your steam profile on that site, works well! Here is my page:

I've gotten so many fun games for all those windoz keys I have been hoarding since the beginning of humble bundle
