Given a choice would you use Linux for gaming?

Assuming that Linux was just as mainstream as Windows with regards to Gaming would you be willing to take advantage of the better resource management inherit in Linux to play games natively, or would you stick with Windows

Keep in mind this question is more of a hypothetical based on if game designers were more willing to add Linux as a gaming option. Linux is more then capable to play games

Also the question refers to native gaming not playing windows games in WINE

1	I prefer most distributions of Linux over Windows, so as long as you have the right drivers for your Linux computer, I would do gaming on it for my primary (or secondary if Mac OS X can be in this discussion) gaming platform. answered Jul 26 '10 at 23:24 catchatyou 20.7k●89●165●383
