No, just realist. Even OS X has more high profile games than this turd. Let's admit it, the year of the Loonix desktop is not here. "Yet"

SteamOS will bring about the age of Linux-based gaming.
(not really, but its the best opportunity yet)
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Yeah, because as we all know that only 'high profile games' are the good ones. 
Dem cawadootys are great for mac. 
Anyway, both operating systems are pitiful when compared to windows when it comes to games and gaming.

Regardless of what you think of the games, they are the ones that bring masses, not some indie poops.
And indeed, for gaming, Windows is superior to anything out there. With DX12, this will improve much further, while Loonix drowns with OpenGL.

I hardly think that anyone is going "hey, I want to play lots of games. Shall I choose a mac which I have to give up my firstborn for or a windows PC which I can later install Linux on?".
So if that's your argument then both lose, people will chose a computer/laptop that has windows on it because they 'know' they can play games on it.
Edit:
Anyway, doesn't matter. The recent support for games on Linux will make it more viable than before as a desktop PC. And thanks to steam, this is getting more and more popular and if this trend keeps going then it's going to be ace. |

No, what I mean is that until the masses want Linux, because they can play CoDs and whatnot as well as there is something that makes it better than Windows, only then we can think of Loonix as having any chance.
On the other hand, gaming is not everything. Loonix is quite crap outside of shell. Want to write a document? Create a presentation? Open Photoshop? Open After Effects? To quote Steven Seagal, "Well that's tough shit", because Loonix has nothing to support serious work.

"Open Photoshop? Open After Effects?"
Those aren't needed by everyone though.
And I'm pretty sure you could find alternatives to both of those.
But yeah, I get it, you don't like Linux and you find OS Unicorn much better.

I second Kubuntu, I have been using it for years for work, and have few problems with it.

very happy with Xubuntu, using it on a 2008 laptop which even allows some L4D2 gaming.

one thing I have to say is, if you have an ATI graphics card, linux can be a bit of a pain in the ass... the open source driver makes my card sound like a jet plane (fans spin at 40% minimum all the time), while the proprietary one is often out-of-date and won't work with the latest xorg...
at least the open source drivers will be fixed with kernel 3.19 (a few months away...). Still, nvidia is better, despite all the hate (even from Linus himself).
by the way, I tried KDE5 and although it looks promising, it's still quite broken. I think it will be great when the final version arrives (or maybe 5.1)... XFCE I'd only recommend for slow systems, it just doesn't feel as nice as KDE anymore.

NVIDIA has random freezes so no it's not great. Xorg is a pain in the ass too because it has a conflict with NVIDIA.
Ubuntu 14.10 removed xorg and replaced it with MIR

I have Kubuntu 14.10 and GTX 970, and have zero issues with the latest Nvidia proprietary drivers. No freezes.

Kubuntu 14.10 also use MIR. My Geforce GTX 485m has issues with x.org and i notice lag moments if the cpu is loading a bit (linux mint 17 and 17.1 cinnamon)
