As if you knew how to use Linux anyways. You'd have even more headaches with it. But it's so kewl to say "windoze" blows, it makes you look insightful.

If Linux wants to get decent for gaming, they need to:
1. Ditch X. In fact, they'd need to ditch X for it to be decent as a desktop or workstation environment too.
2. Ditch 47 sound systems and layers of stupidity applications use. (OMG ITS CALLED FREEDOM!!!1)
3. Get ONE decent 2D, 3D, sound, input, and netplay API, possibly reusing existing quality APIs like OpenGL, but no, don't try to emulate DirectX.
4. Get decent video drivers. I know this is not Linux people's fault, but if the GNAA stops whinning at every non-GPL driver that gets released, things might get better.
5. Get developers interested.
