“One constant complaint about the Linux desktop is that
it doesn’t have enough games. That’s actually not true. Linux has
plenty of games. What these people usually mean is that it doesn’t
have their favorite Windows games. Now that’s changing.“Granted, Linux has never been a big gaming platform. Some have
suggested that it might be a good idea for vendors to work on
making Linux a gaming platform for its own high-end games, but
little has come of this idea. Of course, it’s always been possible
to run many popular Windows games on Linux. I play Guild Wars, a
Windows-based MMORPG (Massively multi-player online role-playing
game), competitively in player vs. player mode on Linux all the
time. If it didn’t work great on Linux, I’d be running it on a
Windows 7 PC.”
