Are previously downloaded Steam games transferable from Windows to Linux? (reddthat.com)

I've backed up many of the Steam games I had installed in Windows. Am I able to use these on Linux or do I need to re-download them?

Might be useful for dual-boot users or the people in transition, but doesn't worth the hassle for exclusive users. However it will still cause some problems one way or another because it's just a workaround.
