Ah, how nice. Let's get back to reality please. The drivers that linux has to live with are generally more buggy and less optimized than their windows counterparts, despite coming from the same code trees. Look at any game that seriously stresses a GFX card, and even though it should be GPU bound you'll find linux takes a significant drop.
And what about all the games written for windows? Running them in WineX gives you poor performance (if they run at all).
So no, linux isn't a good game platform. It's good for servers, perhaps also big iron and embedded. What does it offer over 2k or XP for gaming though? Stability? None of my XP or 2k boxes has crashed in months. Faster performance? Obviously not for games. Better game support? As much as I like OpenGL, DirectX has cornered the whole 3d + input + audio + whatever market. OpenGL + OpenAL doesn't cut it. More games? No.
Fucking fanboy. I like *nix too, but religious faggots like you who see their 31337 world through rose-glasses piss me off. What are you going to do next? Claim linux is a better RTOS than QNX? That it's easier to use than a Mac? That it shows z/OS the way big iron should be run? That it's more secure than OpenVMS? Gah.
