Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro?

An anonymous reader writes "If in the FOSS community we could only get our act together and launch a game-based distro, we will be home and dry. That, at least, is the view of one British games enthusiast, Ian Bonham, who says in the short Linux World article: 'I would be happy to help a group of volunteers create a distro based on games, because I believe that's where the next generation is - NOT in giving away copies of Linux or OOo. That's a short-term ideal. The PS2 and the X-Box(sic) run Linux, so let's create a distro that turns home PC into a console with development potential. Expand that distro to the consoles. And lets get some 'killer' games on that disk.'"

    Why oh why do you continue to troll all the Linux stories to this day?

    Linux has adequate video and sound driver support. Not great, but adequate. You'd know that if you actually had a fucking clue about anything related to Linux, but you don't, not being a Linux user and all that.

    Folks, stop modding this guy up. He does zero research about these topics, he's a known troll, and he's an inflamatory asshat. He used to troll all the SCO stores claiming to have insider information and such bullshit.

    Now piss off, you insufferable moron.
