I was reading in the forums on Garage Games that nearly 60% of their business is Mac. About 5% is Linux. From all figures I have seen, Linux is deployed on the desktop nearly as much as the Mac and should overtake it as the #2 desktop OS within the next year. I am not sure why the numbers of games purchased don't reflect this.
I have purchased nearly every Linux game that Garage Games has. Not 'cause I feel sorry for them or anything like that, it is the games they have for Linux are excellent and fun. Not only do I enjoy them, but I have my kids (4 and 8) playing them for hours.
Recommendations are ThinkTanks, and MarbleBlastGold. I also enjoy Orbz, and hopefully Lore will be finished for Linux soon and I will definately buy that one too.
If you don't buy them for yourself, buy them for the kids. They are very good challenging wholesome games.
