all the distros support games, problem isnt linux, its the game writers

http://www.lokigames.com/ these people made games for linux for awhile, and they were pretty good

the console market is moving towards using linux as a basis for their software and gamebox OS's, desktop market isnt ready yet

"gaming OS".........I have issues with that phrase
