GOG.com doesn't do Linux, while Humble Bundles largely became popular with that crowd first.

Funny that GOG.com does its first (I think) 100% charity run at this moment: http://www.gog.com/news/charity_promo_pick_3_games_donate_5_...

Don't forget to vote for Linux support on GOG if you didn't yet: https://secure.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_g...
Dang, then if Linux is the only thing Humble Bundle has to fall back on, they're really going to feel the squeeze from Steam.

It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out, maybe they'll find their niche.

Steam really needs more competition from DRM free distributors, but HB failed to remain DRM free. So GOG is the only one left.
There's a GoGOnLinux project

Thanks for the link, I was not aware of that. Seems like GOG doesn't like what they do too much, though...
