"Games work on Linux now so you can switch over"

Gaming was at one point a serious hurdle. Back in 2007 when I was forced to switch from Windows XP to Ubuntu due to a former friend's IT fuck-up, the only Windows game I could legitimately get running was World of Warcraft, and even then the installation process was arduous.

Valve deserves much of the credit for getting Linux into the state where it can play a vast majority of Windows games with comparable or even better performance.

The true hurdle now is with anticheat.
