Hehehe, I'm involved in the development of one myself! ;)

For some areas of gaming, Linux is easily up to speed with windows.
There are a lot of arcade games, and some very high quality RPGs
(nethack! :)... it's not quite there yet with first-person shooters or
strategy though (FreeCiv just plain isn't as good as Civilization 2 or
3). However, as with most areas where it lags behing, Linux is catching
up fast. The main problem, finding people to draw pretty pictures, seems
to be disappearing as the userbase increases.
