Linux OS, PC Gaming Wise?

Does going for a Linux OS is a wise for PC gaming?. No dual boot.

If i'd go for dual boot, what are the distributions of Linux that is equivalent of Vista 32bit or 64bit?.

I'm not too knowledgeable on Linux gaming, but...it seems preferable to avoid it. There are of course a number of games that work with Linux natively or with a few tweaks, but many of those are old and outdated games. There are Windows emulators such as Wine that could make SOME Windows games work, but those are usually patchy and a hassle to set up. So dual boot seems to be your only option for keeping Linux but also being able to game. I don't think it matters which Linux distribution you use, as you won't be using it for gaming.

Ya what he said, knows what he is talking about more then me :P Doom 3 is based on OpenGl so would imagine you can buy it for linux. Doom 4 when it comes out to :)strikerthrex

Steam supports linux servers, Still need Wine I believe to use Steam to run games

I'm a PC gamer enthusiast so i play a lot of titles.

I heard that Crysis can't run on Ubuntu normally.

You can never say an OS is equivalent to another OS, because it's comparing apples to oranges.Marfoo

I'm talking about visually like the features, new stuffs like widgets, and sleek interface.
