  Linux is now perfectly valid for a gaming pc

  And all it took was a corporation throwing millions of dollars and thousands of developer hours at it.

    Well, on top of the tens of thousands of volunteer developer hours put in to stuff like wine that they built upon.

    You make it seem like Microsoft didn’t do everything they could to kill Linux and Mac.

      Like literally investing in $150 million in Apple in 1997 and porting Office to MacOS to get in front of a possible antitrust trial ahead of Jobs’ return?

      I’m not an MS fanboi, but at least get your facts right if you’re going to make such a claim.

        Okay look at the history. Look at the Macworld introduction to Microsoft Office. The Apple community wasn’t happy about it. Microsoft made a lot of money and kept themselves from being a monopoly. You think they did that out of the kindness of their hearts?

        I bet if we talk about Linux, you’re going to bring up that Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation and completely ignoring their anti competitive practices before that.

  Yup, there’s enough games supported that one could completely ignore windows.
