In my previous column, I took a look at why gaming sucks so bad on Linux. As you can imagine the Linux faithful took me to task for my heretical views, but is there any substance to their hysteria? I'll dissect some of their feedback and see if their arrows hit the mark or if they are simply out to lunch.

While I agree gaming sucks on Linux, I don't really understand the point of this article. The author didn't rebuff the good arguments for gaming on linux, he just insulted their character. But whatever, [Topic] + anybody dissing it + [Topic] fanboys = disaster. It's especially true when you're talking about the big three OS's.
