Porting companies like Feral and Aspyr are porting as many AAA titles as they are being contracted to do. Furthermore, some AAA devs and publishers are developing for Linux along side their Windows and OSX versions.

For older titles that won't see a port, you won't see them. This is the same as how you can't play NES games on your SNES, etc. It is a different platform.

Valve's workaround is to use in-home streaming to allow you to play the games on your Windows computer from your Steambox.

It's not great, but that's what happens when developers and publishers fall victim to vendor lock-in.
