> and when I weigh up the decision between rebooting to Windows to play something, or just stay in Linux and play one of those. I always stay.

I can relate to that. I also play on Windows with a dual-boot install, and since Steam came out on Linux I just boot up Windows way less for gaming. I end up playing much more the titles which are available on Linux rather than wanting to reboot to play other games.

In a sense, this proves one thing: convenience wins, again. And that's definitely a great sign for Steam, since many Linux users are probably feeling the same way we do.

If convenience wins, doesn't that mean the vast majority of people will just stick with Windows for gaming?


People stick to windows for gaming. Its already the case. The point is to make linux users stick to linux even when they want to have fun.
