So, what you're basically saying is you're a pragmatist, aka a sell-out. You are not an idealist. You spend your time playing games, not programming.

You would give up on Linux if you ever had to do some reverse-engineering and programming yourself to get something to work.

I'm going to be the first to break this to you - Linux is not for you. Keep it on your servers so you can have a free UNIX, but by no means use it as your desktop. Given you don't care in the slightest about having access to the source code of every single component on your system, and a guaranteed permission to modify and redistribute it as you see fit, then you really don't need Linux. Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X both subscribe to this "unchangeable, private" philosophy, and should fit your "rather have something closed that works" needs very well. Be honest, you're a PC gamer. You already have Windows. Why bother with Linux if you're just running closed source software on a closed-source tainted kernel?

Do you really think NVIDIA's staff are the only people in the world who do cutting edge graphics programming? Do you really think NVIDIA are the only people who could make the "special sauce"? Most of the advances in graphics technology have come from academia, where the "secrets" are published globally, they're not kept under lock and key.
