I use Lubuntu on my netbook (dual booted with Windows) and one other system, because they are too old and slow to run Windows effectively. I don't really know if I would use Steam for Linux, it all depends on how it would be implemented. If I'd like it though, I'd probably use it to play some not-resource-hungry indie games, and consider using Linux more often.

I will start using Linux constantly as soon as im able to run Adobe products properly, so far it's only thing that's holding me on windows most of the time.

I have Ubuntu installed on my desktop just to mess around with a little, don't use it often. I've got an old laptop running Xubuntu that I use from time to time. As for using Steam? I'll certainly play around with it a little, but beyond that it depends on how many games are available.

Ook, think I'm one of the only ones here with experience of a non toy-distribution. ;) I used Slackware for about 10 years exclusively as my main desktop OS until about 2 years ago when I got back into PC gaming more heavily and started dual-booting to Windows 7 to play games that wouldn't run natively or under WINE (which wasn't very many, but still).
A catastrophic failure meant I had to re-install my OS from scratch but I didn't bother re-installing Slackware, just Windows. At work we use CentOS on our webservers and I use cygwin so I can use a proper shell, so I'm not completely out of it.
If Steam on Linux is viable and I can play the games I want to play I would go back.

I used ubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu (i used to be a translator for those and i had to test it) but i used them for like 3-6 weeks top for each version.
but well, because of games etc i had to return back to windows and being a beta tester since windows longhorn wasnt helping :(

I'm in the category that I've always really wanted to try but between gaming and a few other things it just hasn't happened. I'm really hopeful that with Steam for Linux that maybe we'll see enough of a shift away from Win8 in the core space to make it viable.
