Since most of the games are boring first person shooters, I just ignore them. I do play Minecraft in creative mode as I can't be bothered with being attacked every time i play the bloody game and having to find stuff in the nether,etc.

I'm used to using the software that comes with my distro of choice and never even think about missing bla bla from Microsoft. I've had way less hassles with Linux distros than with Windows. I left Windows due to a glitch that no longer existed when I ran a distro live.

I also never had real problems with any distros ,except one... I learned my lesson there, which is never ever use an alpha distro, or a beta..Just don't do it. If I ever really hit a snag, I just go to my favorite Linux website and leave a help notice up.
