Valve reportedly working on tools to improve Linux gaming

Valve is working on a new set of tools to get Windows-compatible PC games running on Linux operating systems, according to data uncovered in Steam’s GUI files.

The changes were noted by Reddit users, who discovered hidden text related to an unannounced Steam Play system.
