Valve ships all their games on Linux and Mac, so you don't need to run Windows.

No. The Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test is only available on Windows.

I'm sure this will change with an official release though.

Have you tried to play CS:GO on a Mac? I can tell you that it does not at all feel the same as a PC.

If you wish to participate in CS2 testing however, you do need Windows

I was hoping being a seasoned CS:GO player on Linux might bump me into a niche to get a ticket, but alas - Windows only for now
