Yea, I like to play games. That's why there's a 50 GB Windows-partition. To play games - at least those that don't run natively under Linux (like Quake* and Unreal Tournament*).

You never heard of games from ID-Software, did you? Buy in a store, d/l Linux-binaries from their ftp and do the stuff from the readme (i.e. copy everything to /usr/local/games and run the downloaded installer). Easy as shit.
Linux is a OS for anyone who likes Lego. For technically interested people. If you hate the fact that you need to put it together yourself, then you probably stay away from it.

...there is a compatibility issue??
Which? To buggy MS-Software? Yea, that's a shame.
Are they not gamers?
See above
They don't use general programs??
Yea, it's really a hassle to install 5 different ICQ-clients and test them to find the one you like best. After that you uninstall the other 4 and are never bothered again with stuff. Ok, it's really terrible that you can't play those retarded games with your contacts.
or are softwares actually compatible on linux??
