I grew up a die hard gamer. I do al of my software development for the last 13 years on Linux. Long ago I dived deeply into Wine and had a phase of trying to game on Linux but it was a nonstop nightmare of solving ‘uninteresting problems’ and I was solving them when I wanted to be gaming not developing. These days I have an expensive gaming machine running windows and a more expensive laptop running Linux and don’t see myself ever polluting my development environment with gaming packages again. I’m sure there are a lot of people like me so I have doubt about whether Linux gaming will ever move the needle.
