Is that because Linux is a much smaller % of purchase OS than the other two?
Likely because Linux users are a: More grateful when games are made for their platform and b: attempting to demonstrate they are better than Windows and Max users.

And because means are spectacularly unstable so just one or two feeling that way will show up.
In the first Indie Bundle [ http://www.wolfire.com/humble ], they didn't show these results until the last days, and the stats were similar. Linux Users weren't trying to show off, it was something that just happened.
So, a few Linux users donating $500 could sway an identical distribution to the Mac or Windows users.

I always find it curious how people see this as some sort of viable method for anyone. It's quite clear that this idea only works in very few situations, yet lots of people will see this and claim it to be a viable idea for anyone. I hope nobody actually tries this for their own games and they're an unknown developer.
Why not? If they are an unknown indie developer they're probably not raking in the millions anyway. Don't think they'd have much to lose from a 1 week pay-as-much-as-you-want deal.
Apologies for the poor explanation.

#54Do I basically need a gamepad to play braid? Or will it work with the keyboard decently? What about the other platformer and the asteroids style game? Playing under linux if that matters.

#56Am I the only geek who approximated his transaction fee and added it to his bundle price? Between naming my own price and them donating to charity, I felt bad that someone might need to eat the fee to run my card. Since I assume "Humble Bundle Inc" is processing the transactions, I added it to the "Humble Tip" portion of my order.

I'm afraid no. I don't see any informarion to the effect that Braid runs on Linux.
If Braid isn't available for Linux, that'd be a deal-breaker for me and probably for a lot of the Linux users buying this bundle.

Except the part where they write "All of the games [in the bundle] work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux." If Braid isn't available for Linux, that'd be a deal-breaker for me and probably for a lot of the Linux users buying this bundle.
(And yes, having bought the bundle I can verify the download exists.)

#59Is this a common bg texture, or is there some "borrowing" going on here?
