Q. also i am planning on running a hl2 steam server (counter-strike source) any tips for that?
A. Main difference being that Linux is open source and therefore you can do anything you want with it.
I think stability and security are the main practical differences.
Here's some comparisons:

How do you get a game to work on Steam?
Q. I am using Linux Ubuntu, and when I open the game Team Fortress 2, it opens, I can hear the sounds and everything, but I can't see the game. All I can see is a black screen.
A. First, get a distro that is more stable than Ubuntu. I play TF2 and most other steam games on Slackware, and they all work great.
Having said that, though, most of the time your problem is either the wine version you are using, or the video drivers. Wine is at 1.5.20, and I'm finding it to be a very stable release. Check your video drivers, see if there is something more current. The current AMD drivers are for the most part stable, not sure about the current nVidia drivers.
If you know how, create a new wine prefix, and try playing TF2 in that.

Will all my games work with ubuntu linux?
Q. The other day I was hanging out with my friends, and they told me about Linux how it was just like Windows. I did look it up it looks nice, but there is one thing. I am a huge PC gamer, my only question is, will all my games on my Steam library work with Linux?
A. No. None of your games in your library will work. You might be able to get them running using Wine, but it's not worth the trouble and they'd probably run real slow anyway. You would need to repurchase them somewhere else, since steam does not offer Linux versions of games. If you want to game, stick with your PC.
Linux is not "just like Windows". Not many people use it so it doesn't have good game support. I use it because it's lighter and good for basic tasks. Not games.
