One of the thing that some find lacking on the Linux desktop today is the availability of good games.
You know stuff like Star Wars: The Old Republic or Diablo III. Personally, (try to) run those via WINE, but that’s not an ideal solution. The right solution is native games (or even cross-platform HTML5 goodness). Ubuntu has been making some specific strides in this area with the addition of games to its Software Center and in particular with the recent availability of the Humble Indie Bundle.
