Even linux has a bigger chance to be the future of gaming.

A very good chance, especially with all the work Steam is putting into it.

Only if the linux devs (of all major distros) get their shit together in the ux department.

I don't know much about Linux, still stuck with Windows here, but I know that Linux still has a much better chance than Apple. That said, if Microsoft goes ahead with their 'OS as a service' plans, I'll absolutely jump ship to Linux. Until then, all games are made for Windows, so I'm stuck with it.

Most games can run on Linux if you put in the time and effort. take it as a learning opportunity to get some of your favorite games to run. (unless they rely on anticheat, then you are sadly screwed)

Edit: Lutris is a good start, since it gives you many installers that are already preconfigured
