      Even if it is only windows you could still (more likely than not) play it on Steam on linux. I don’t even bother with the distinction any more. Just check protondb beforehand.

      It means the game has a native version for Linux that will run on all Linux distros (what you referred to as a Linux). SteamOS is based on Debian (or most recently Arch) and Valve only officially supports Steam on Ubuntu LTS. But Steam will run on pretty much any distro you want.
