i want to change OS from Windows to Linux on my old computer, when I put steam on and log into my account will i be able to download linux versions of the games I've bought (if available) or do I have to purchase again?

Some games do not have linux versions so those you will not be able to play on SteamOS. Any game that your currently have that has a linux version will be available to download once you sign in to your account.

From what i'm told if you were to store your games on a different drive so they're already downloaded, you could reinstall the linux versions of the games that are supported, and use wine to play the others
