Depending on how it is measured, the market share for gaming on GNU/Linux is less than 1%. Jason Evangelho writes at Forbes about what is holding back gaming on GNU/Linux. He outlines three problem areas. First, there is inconsistency across the distros in how hardware — especially the graphics card — is dealt with. Second, major titles continue to ban the accounts of those who join from GNU/Linux hosts. Lastly, he figures that the gamers need to pull behind a single distro and get support for just that one distro because vendors are using the existence of multiple distros as an excuse to support none of them.

Yesterday it was the Chef, that one's dieing because Google moved in with modern digital that's much better & cheaper. And I said, what can really save the Chef is if Microsoft buys it. Today it's another one failing very badly and even the article says that Windows is much much better. This is something that, they're trying to compete with one of Microsoft's biggest products. But, Google (I think) hasn't bought them. The name of the game is, get bought by a big and successfull Company. Be it Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook or -- I hate to say it -- Amazon.
