How gaming in Linux will bring the ultimate benefit to all
The biggest reason I still dual boot my Ubuntu with Windows XP is Gaming. In fact the Windows XP in my desktop is used for no purpose absolutely except occassionally playing games.
I know for the fact that WINE has the ability to play lots of games, (not to forget the native Linux games like Doom and Quake) and I’ve tried and succeeded too. In fact I was pleasantly surprised how well WINE managed to run those games it did manage to run. The performance difference was too minimal as compared to performace of gaming in Windows,
Unfortunately, not all games run in WINE. Few games run so well that they run as well as they do in Windows and maybe even better. Few games run exceptionall well with an occassional bug, while others are playable with noticeable problems but a lot of games do not run at all.
What if the game developers take a leaf out of id software and develop their games for Linux? It will seriously enhance the experience of all the Linux users. And yes I mean *ALL* Linux users.
