Biggest overstatement. Linux gaming, though becoming more possible, is nowhere near gaming on windows. Forget game availability, even most GPUs are not properly supported on most Linuxes.

This situation is rapidly changing too with ATI and intels OSS GPU drivers.


Rapidly? How long since ATI/AMD has been talking about improving their drivers? A decade? No, if history is in any way predicting the future then these talks are completely hollow.

Intel drivers are Ok though.


And now they've released OSS drivers, it's action now, not just talk.


I've been hearing some variations on "getting better any time now" since about 2003. Stop trying to make the Linux Desktop happen. It's not going to happen. In fact, if you stop making it happen, maybe it will finally stabilise enough that it actually happens.
