I'd be happy if Valve's other big legacy for gaming ended up being that they started a snowball that made Linux a viable alternative for gaming. For me the requirement for that would be fairly broad compatibility and a performance that's at least close enough to Windows to not give me the feeling that I'm bottlenecking the hardware I paid all that money for. Other than that I mostly use my desktop as a media server and Linux can already do that more than well enough. All in all, I'm excited for it in a way I wasn't for the SteamOS box announcement and I really hope they can sustain the momentum for the long run!
