You are right there. I was just using Quake 3 as a typical 3D shooter game reference. But my point is still valid. Look at the steps it takes to get it up and running. 1) install Linux RPM. 2) Copy map files to Quake Linux directory 3) change permissions to get files to run in X. Just imagine explaining that to a typical Windows user. If you can't hit next, next install people won't use it. It is different if you are a Linux user since you are probably more of a techie and like to tinker with such things.

I completely agree with you on that topic, just a few corrections:
Quake 3(and 4) runs on Linux natively. Even if you run some things (Steam, Half-Life 2 and friends) using wine - it's not emulation and it runs fast.
