It is interesting, because I am a long time hardcore unix guy, and I have the exact opposite feeling. I don't think linux offers any advantage over windows for a desktop/gaming environment any more. Back when we had to deal with the instability of windows 98, having games work on linux was a fantasy. But now, between the increased stability that came with moving to NT for windows, and the decreased stability that came with all the crap that comes with gaming on linux, I don't see the benefit. That combined with linux moving so far away from unix, and so much closer to the bloated complexity of windows, just makes it seem pointless.
