Thanks for the note - I wonder what this mean for Braid on Linux Steam though. Do we expect it to show up later?

Linux compatible can mean as much as 'runs in wine' for some games.

Yeah, it can qualify as that, but usually when we mean "run on Linux" it refers to Native versions for Linux distros.

It can also mean "runs in Chrome Native Client" too, don't forget.
