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.

Who cares if Linux attracts the masses as a desktop operating system? As it is now it is wonderful as a server platform and many developers like it. And more importantly it is free software and has loads of free software available for it. Personally I could care less how many more people adopt Linux. At this moment it has enough inertia and applications that I'm happy with it as a platform for web browsing, email and development, which is essentially all I do on my computer.
As Linus said, the goal of Linux is not to topple Microsoft in the desktop market (though he implied it would anyway).
