It's one of those catch phrases that never really seems to die out. Wherever you look in the operating systems world, at personal blogs written in crummy English, or at high-profile quality websites, there is bound to be someone, somewhere who used it. Even I, myself, used it in articles in a far and distant past, and I'm not particularly proud of it. "Ready for the desktop" is no longer acceptable - in fact, it's on its way out.

Not Necessarily.
Only maybe, if your only interest is DirectX games. And many of those old & new can work well on Linux. Not to mention many Cross Platform commercial & Completely free Games & Simulations.
I have not found any major issue with Linux Media stuff, and now prefer it, Radio, TV, SAT, HDTV, etc, etc.
Maybe it is not marketed, and sometimes it may require more involvement, but well worth it.
If vendors & developers choose not to support something it is probably their decision & their loss...
While there maybe interest & need for some for Windows, then use it. But it is not that necessary anymore........
I am only one person, But tend to only purchase those things that support my platform or at least open standards.........
Still there is the Wii & PS3 they don't do DirectX and even run Linux.
