Keeping in mind the advantages which Linux as a platform has over the other Operating system, it is much obvious that there is a much scope for it to develop as an ideal gaming platform as well. Considering Linux as the mainstream for gaming might take some time, as most of the games which we find today are developed for the windows based platform that is being used by maximum of the users as on date.
