You will not be able to develop Unity games on Linux, but you will be able to create native Linux client of your game (which you can develop on Windows).

Is this means that I would be able to run Unity on my Linux DeskTop as well??

And About Browser games based on Unity, for example BattleStar Galactica is using Unity and I cannot play it on my Linux PC because I cannot install the plug-in on Chromium, I suppose that after Unity4 be released that will eventually change.

There are currently no known/announced plans to port Shadowgun to Linux — the screenshot you see was taken from a Linux export of Sadowgun’s fly-through demo, freely available on the resources section of the Unity 3D website.

Unity had a Linux port in the works for some years before Unity’s relationship with inxile began (see the “Why Linux Now” section of http://unity3d.com/unity/4/faq for more details), but Unity Technologies certainly hopes to work closely with the developers behind Wasteland 2 in order to make the Linux port as good as it can be.
