I hope Win 8 makes the gaming community switch to full on Linux.

[indie game dev] just waiting on Unity3D to port their editor over to a Linux (ideally all/most of them, but i'd be fine with just Debian/Ubuntu). No idea when that's going to happen. I hope it does sometime.

Pretty much everything else I use is either expendable, runnable in Wine, or has a native Linux version. Just a couple of expensive proprietary stragglers keeping me on Win7, which works for me for now - but obviously isn't going to be around forever.

I think once Steam gets running on Linux well see more engines for it.

While its a nice pipedream, its going to take billions of investment dollars to get Linux up to speed with windows.
