They have a ton of games available at usually a little over the Steam price BUT completely DRM free. You don't need any CD Key's, online accounts (other than to initially download the game) etc. You download an exe file for the game and that is it, it's yours to install as many times as you like on as many PC's/laptops as you own. Whoop!
Being a Linux fan finding that gog.com has finally decided to provide Linux support for games is fantastic. Now for a long time the focus of gog.com was to provide users of modern PC's and operating systems the ability to play old games on those new systems so there is a lot of "retro" content on there but the focus of gog.com is shifting to include more indie and newer content (guess it is difficult to get AAA+ title developers to agree to completely DRM free grrr)!
Officially gog.com only support Ubuntu and Mint though I used Lubuntu without any problems and I suspect that maybe a lot of debian based distros will be fine (please comment on your own experiences).

| Installing gog-stargunner from .deb file is easy :) |
I tested the free game StarGunner and noticed a tarball and an installer - I opted for the installer, life is too short for tarballs which is a .deb file :)

| Yay Stargunner on Linux - not sure I will be playing this often but hey it was free :) |
