No, unfortunately I don't know any names. I haven't used any of those services myself.

I own a System76 Oryx Pro, and it's been great for gaming and for my work as well. Really worth the price.
Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. Do you know of a name of one of these companies? I wouldn't need a PO Box, I have friends and family I could initially send it to.

You forgot to mention the demise of Steam Machines this year. With Valve rarely mentioning it, and an Alienware rep mentioning they "do not need SteamOS anymore", it looks certain that Steam Machines are a thing of the past.

The Linux & SteamOS port of Killing Floor 2 has been put on hold, it needs a developer
21 November 2016 at 8:07 pm UTC
Valve failed to market SteamOS as a competitor to consoles and instead marketted it as a competitor to Windows. They also failed to convince AAA studios to target the platform. Finally, they failed to convince retailers to carry Steam Machines in their stores. As a result, studios didn't take SteamOS seriously and didn't find it to be worth it to hire a Linux developer to do the porting.

Quoting: TuxeeQuoting: sarmadWell, we have to admit. Valve tried to make Linux a viable gaming platform but they failed miserably at execution and it seems none of the major players in the industry is taking SteamOS seriously. Very sad. Though they did give Linux gaming a great push.
Care to explain the fault of Valve when Tripwire realizes that they actually have no clue on how to develop cross-platform games (or adapt for the Linux platform at least)? Why did they announce a Linux port at all (in the beginning it was even planned as day-1-release)? After all there are quite a few companies out there who don't have any problems with that. And Tripwire is anything but a "major player" - I'd see it more in the indie camp.

The story would've been much different if Valve was as capable as Sony or MS in terms of pushing studios to support their platform. Sony was able to convince all studios to target PS4 way before PS4 was even on the market. If Valve did the same and marketed the Steam Machines as a new console and convinced publishers to target the paltform it would've been a success. People are comparing SteamOS games to Windows games because SteamOS is marketted as a PC replacement rather than a new console platform. Notice that no one compared the number of games on PS4 to those on Windows like they often do with SteamOS.

It's good that Linux userbase didn't require much support. It'll encourage developers to support the platform as it wouldn't cost them much (considering they are using an engine that already has Linux support).
Steam store updated, Valve still haven't fixed filtering to only Linux games on the homepage

Same here, the list is full of non-Linux games when my preferences is set to Linux only. This has been broken for a couple of years now, which is mind boggling.
