Sadly, for those people building their own computers, driver problems are going to be even worse... I have never been able to get my ATI/AMD graphic cards to work properly under Linux...


Which is okay. I am huge fan of Valve games and know that Nvidia drivers can run games quite well on Linux, so if AMD/ATI do not want my money, it is fine my me.

I know that one might say but majority of users do not know this, but from what I can tell from participating in gaming communities, these guy do proper research before buying a new rig. I can totally see lot of people who solely play Valve games (TF2, L4D, Dota2, CS:Go, CS) will try Linux if their games work on Linux.


There are issues with the ATI Linux drivers, but there are a lot of gamers with NVIDIA cards, and those work quite well on Linux. We don't need to get everyone to move to Linux, just a good number, and just those on NVIDIA will be more than sufficient.


If you are building your own computers anyways, it's not that huge of an issue to watch out for Linux compatible graphic cards. Really.
