"Digital DRM-free game distributor GOG.com is finally jumping on the Linux bandwagon.
Following the steps of Desura and Steam, GOG.com plans to offer Linux compatible games starting this year. Along with games already available for Linux, GOG.com will also be selling 'a variety of classics that are, for the first time, officially supported and maintained [by them].'
Most of the DOS titles already provided by GOG.com will probably pose no major technical challenge since GOG has been using DosBox on Windows and Mac OS X since the very beginning however, all the exclusive ports will probably be more difficult to provide."

It's true that Linux will always be a second-class citizen when it comes to GAMES, but that's all. Most other areas go the opposite way... With Windows, most people end up PAYING for every productivity program, as well as antivirus and more, which gets very expensive, very quickly. Meanwhile, the Linux boxes fly along on low-end hardware, don't randomly break, don't need lots of attention, and all the supporting application you could ever want are FREE, if perhaps not exactly what you're accustomed to.
