The nice thing about open-source programming is that for every 2000 people who bitch about a problem, one of them will get off their arse (if only to sit down in a different chair) and try and fix it. I think the main issue with Linux is a simple lack of interest. While Microsoft provide comparatively user-friendly options, people will go with that.
If Valve's fanbase-wang is as mighty as it appears, their box might just push Linux into the limelight long enough for people to consider using it on their PC. And the more people use it, the stronger the support base becomes, the easier it becomes for others to use it yadda yadda yadda.
Bottom line, if enough gamers use it, games companies will try harder to make their games compatible with Linux, and Linux programmers will try harder to make Linux work with games.
