I'm a very happy camper.
After not trying for quite a few years, and also as a guy who refuses WINE, I decided to give Steam another shot in nix.
Running Debian stretch 64-bit, I followed these directions https://wiki.debian.org/Steam#A64-bit_systems_.28amd64.29 and am now playing Civ5 on linux for the first time.
Brought a tear of happiness to my eye.
Although the library is limited, to HL CS and other valve stuff, I see that civ V VI is fully supported as well as X rebirth (not that I want to fire that up).
hm, i see the witcher II there as well, maybe I'll actually play the game now.
If only endless space II was available.
the best part is that because this box also acts as my sonos library, and movie library, I can now play a game or two without rebooting into MS, and the rest of the house losing the samba share to movies, or music.

First TW2 launch on Linux was...problematic and people jumped upon devs, even at personal level. Dev cleared up it's act afterwards, but it soured their experience so I understand not wanting to do other Witcher ports.
