Linux users willing to pay more for the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle than others
On April 12 the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle of games went up for sale--for whatever price you want, and it's all DRM-free. On top of that, you can select how much of your payment goes to the developers and how much goes to charity.
The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle is worth around $50 and is available for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
As of this morning, the average Linux user was paying the most at $11.68, while the average Windows user was paying the least at $4.02.

Re: Linux users willing to pay more
At the risk of coming off as a total douchebag, this doesn't surprise me. Both Linux and OS X users come off to me as being a little more open with their wallets when it comes to things like supporting indie game developers or open-source in general. A lot of Windows users take the billion games they have the option of playing for granted, and it almost wouldn't surprise me if less Windows gamers ended up playing the games they earned from the Humble Bundle compared to gamers belonging to the other camps.
None of that matters, though. What does matter is that the number of kick-ass games available for Linux is growing all the time, and it's great to see. It might be a while before we see a surge of mainstream games for our favorite OS, but we're hardly lacking quality titles.
