Damn, I'm jealous now...
I actually just bought Railroad Tycoon II from GOG during their sale last month. I didn't know that there was a linux version of that. (And IMHO, the less said about Railway Empire the better; it was a huge disappointment for me and I had to get Railroad Tycoon to remove the thoughts of the horrible knock-off.)
I knew about Descent, but I though it was SimCity 2000 not 3000... but then again, I might be remembering SimCity 2000 for OS/2.

let's not forget sasser virus.
Looking things in perspective windows at those days was a mess, surely it has come a long way with windows 7 and 10 as far as security concerns (sure, privacy that's another issue). I remember back then loosing plenty of time running lavasoft adware program, scanning and scanning over and over again, there was no efficient way of getting rid of all the adware.
Now the problem they have is botnets running DoS attacks or mining cryptocurrency and that happens mostly on computers that are really outdated, nobody should be using windows xp these days.

It is a thing of beauty indeed.
On topic, I don't think Valve necessarily have to care about Linux itself or the philosophy behind it. What I think they do care about is competition in the OS market as this means they're not reliant on a single OS supplier and they can keep MS in check. This I think is the reason they haven't been doing any marketing for SteamOS or the Steam Machines - just the fact they exist and some people use them is enough for what they need.
