Aspyr has ported a ton of games to Mac including BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Civ V, Starwars Knights of the Old Republic & Call of Duty. Now they are getting into the SteamOS/Linux porting game, which is great news. Can't wait to see what they port next!

I'm glad to see Aspyr jumping on the Linux train. From what I hear, this implementation isn't perfect but it's quite good.
Aspyrs Mac Ports are really good. I played much of BioShock Infinite on the Mac. Hopefully they will fix some of the bugs so it's a pretty seamless port.
One thing I noticed immediately was that that leader intro screens are animated on Linux. The is missing on OS X. Not a big deal to game play, but a nice environmental touch.
Great. I wonder why they did that? Maybe a newer version of SDL supports something a bit better than the one they used on the OSX version?
I also noticed that the title is a bit misleading. It wasn't JUST Civ 5, it was 4 and all the expansions too, at least it seemed to be the case when I opened up Steam on Linux.
