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?

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

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.
