A few months ago we ran a poll about the most important non-free Linux apps. We had over 8,000 votes in that poll and we consider the results pretty interesting. Interesting enough to push Linux's market share if a distro capitalized on them?

Actually, Wine do have an implementation of DirectX, acting as a wrapper around OpenGL. It's not complete, but it works in part. Good enough that many popular FPS can run on Linux with Wine.
And besides that many games are written to _not_ only use DirectX but also other abstraction layers, incl. cross platform abstraction layers.
So it's not really a big hurdle after all.
