@thatonestocking 2013 is apparently the year of the Linux gaming desktop. If only I wouldn't have heard "20XX is the year of the Linux desktop" so often I would've maybe believed it.

@datponygotvtec I'm using Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, planning on switching to Gentoo :P

@thatonestocking 2009 (and the years after that) was supposed to be the year of the Linux desktop. This time it's apparently the Linux gaming desktop.

@thatonestocking With all due respect, Linux can get way better gaming performance than Windows even with the crappy drivers we have currently. My phone battery is rather low, so I can't give you a link, but VALVe posted a blog post about how they had several times more FPS on their Linux version of L4D2 (which was barely optimised) than under the thoroughly optimised Windows version.

@omni I was under the impression that was a DirectX/OpenGL performance difference, though...?

@redenchilada They didn't give Windows OpenGL stats (although that would've probably given Windows users some more FPS as well) but I recall them talking about how the more efficient Linux kernel could've been a major cause for the performance difference.

@datponygotvtec 2013 is too early :P

@datponygotvtec ATI tries but fails, NVIDIA just uses their Windows drivers. I use nouveau myself, though.

@thatonestocking Linux supports more OpenGL stuff than MAC, though. But yes, I see and agree to your point.
