Valve officially released Steam for Linux on February 14, 2013. As of November 2016 the number of Linux-compatible games on Steam exceeds 2,000.[69] With the launch of SteamOS, a distribution of Linux made by Valve intended to be used for HTPC gaming, that number is quickly growing. Listed below are some notable games available on Steam for Linux:

Honestly there's a lot to be said about the performance you can have in Linux while gaming. The biggest issue is drivers and a lack of optimization. AMD has hinted about maybe getting their shit together, and more and more games are getting multiplat.

They aren't held back by all the useless bloat of the OS. I'm optimistic. I shouldn't have to install windows LTSB just to have a working OS

Even l4D2 runs worse, it's one of the few games I play (we still play it with friends).
I'll get these half a second stutters, the audio seems to lag, it's a fucking mess.

The Talos Principle is my go to multiplatform benchmark and the OpenGL performance is worse even compared to OpenGL in Windows, except like with L4D2 there's this moments when the game freezes for a fraction of a second
Vulcan finally comes close and eliminates the stutter but it's still in beta so the game crashes. This is with the latest proprietary Nvidia drivers for the record.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

The following is pasta but adresses very well most of the arguments in this thread:

Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?
