One of the major reasons why most of people still use Windows is the gaming community. It begins with constant hardware upgrades, required to stay apace in the losing game of ever-rising minimum requirements for this or that game. And it ends with users running Windows, because most games are made to work only under Windows.

But this does not have to be so.

If a sufficient number of high-quality games is made available to Linux users, there will be a massive, natural migration of games toward this new, exotic and FREE operating system. Kids will not have that many problems adapting, the same way kids of the 80s and 90s did not have any problems adapting to new operating systems back then. They will do anything to be able to play games, including learning how to operate Linux. And most kids not having any income and being at the mercy of their parents, the appeal of free games (and legal in the same breath) will be too hard to resist.

The truth is, there are quite a few games for Linux, but the problem is - not that many people are aware of them or willing to take the plunge. This is becoming less and less of any issue every day, as the games are moving from console nightmares and WINE hacks toward stable packages, some already being shipped via repositories of the larger distros.

Let us dispel the fear and doubt.
