Games Linux gaming. Let's face it - it's terrible. Tux Racer? Please. Quake III, okay, I'll give you that. NeverWinter Nights? If you can get it to work. WINE? If you have enough hair left to pull out, WINE is a good choice.

demand

yeah, probably demand is THE problem.

but i think the approach being used by id software -- putting windows binaries on CD then allowing linux binary version download over the Internet but using the same CD for the data files -- is the right approach at this time. of course that doesn't make it any easier to develop games that work on multiple OS/platforms; it just makes the distribution/publishing part simpler.
