From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m curious how this works from a Windows host. Does it transfer the windows version and play it on wine? (Even if there is a Linux build available.) Or does it transfer the shared assets but download the difference?
I haven’t tried it but I’m pretty sure the steam client would download the native version over the windows version if available. As for the game assets, I have no idea. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.
