The Steam Hardware Survey for September 2016 shows Linux has grown some more

Quoting: Mountain ManI still wish Valve was more proactive about promoting Linux/SteamOS. If you're particularly cynical, you could strike the word "more" from the previous sentence.
It's not ready yet. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
Steam for Linux has been out for nearly three-years. It's long past the point of first-impressions.

Or, if we're a bit less cynical, maybe they just didn't think it was needed. Also, this is the first version of the controller ever; there's bound to be a design flaw or two.
Considering this is version 1.0, it's amazing just how much they got right!

How the heck have people managed to break the wireless dongle?

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution released for Linux, port report and thoughts

I'm a little confused: Is this one game with two expansions, or three stand-alone games? And if the latter is the case then which one should I get? I should point out that I don't really give a crap about the story, I only care about which version has the best features.

Wow! Great to see performance matching and even beating Windows! This was the case with XCOM 2 as well. Good job, Feral!

Just had the same thought. :) I have "Runs fine for me on Linux." as the last sentence of a review. Should do that every time (when it's true, obviously). Just to remind people every now and then that Linux gaming is a thing and that the game they're interested in runs on Linux.
I always include a word about Linux performance in every review I write.
