Steam has put up a Spring Cleaning Event featuring multiple Linux games that you can play for free from now until May 28th. During the event, you can also earn the new Spring Cleaning badge, if you're bothered about that sort of thing.

Here's the titles that support Linux:

All apart from Left 4 Dead 2 are also on sale, so if you decide after a few hours that you enjoy them you can pick them up cheaper than normal.

Quoting: EikeUnfortunately, their badge tasks are not platform filtered...

It happened to me at the beginning, but a couple of hours later the plattform filtering worked fine...

For me this Badge is a pain in the ass, because I have to machines, one with Linux with this account, and a Windows 7 machine with this other account... I am playing in the two machines at the same time.

I use a Python script which emulates playing a game for getting Steam cards drop. Create file run_app_id.py containing this:
#!/usr/bin/python2
import os
import time
from ctypes import CDLL
import sys
steam_api = CDLL('./libsteam_api64.so')
str_app_id = sys.argv[1]
os.environ["SteamAppId"] = str_app_id
steam_api.SteamAPI_Init()
time.sleep(9999999999999)

Then copy libsteam_api64.so from the Steam folder next to that file and run it in the terminal with "./run_app_id.py xxxxxx" (where xxxxxx is AppID of a desired game). With that, all tasks can be done in a minute.

There isn't a libsteam_api64.so on my .steam folder though.
