    I would recommend trying Arch. I started at Ubuntu but due to PPA hell I just installed Arch instead of adding repositories left and right just to get the latest software.

    He can edit the posts whenever it's downmodded, and have bots upmod him.

    Fuck if I know, but Slashdot has never allowed editing nor removal of posts for any reason (except for a few very notable cases).

    Works a bit like posting an email or on Usenet: it's already posted, you can't take it back.

    Because then you can retract your statements and game modding up for nefarious reasons. Slashdot has permaposting for a good reason.

    There's a reason why it's preview then post button.

    I would say "But TF2 items don't give perks," but:
    1. I hate TF2, I am already biased.
    2. Look at the Rift bonus items.

    Also what about the region lock disc scams?

    Actually it is. Have you played it? Probably not--thought so.

    Flamebait. Yes I own it. Would you talk to your parents like that? If not, then don't talk in a tone like that. Also don't be PC and say but I don't have parents! It's a hypothetical question, i.e, what if.

    Amnesia, while an amazing game, is simply a point-and-click game.

    Oversimplifying the game. Also off-topic.

    And again, my point exactly. Strawman arguments. You dwell on one word, the "casual" one, when my entire argument was about Linux not having a realistic business market.

    Ah here we go. Finally some meat, but with something ad-hominem.
    http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/amnesiathedarkdescent/news.html?sid=6286090 -- buy once, play everywhere.
    http://www.humblebundle.com/ check the Linux graph, it's significant. Again, buy once, play everywhere.
    The Unreal Tournament series were also ported to Linux, until a few years ago.
    The wikipedia article on Linux games (there are many, and games like Nethack are played daily [citation: http://alt.org/nethack/perday.html, able to play locally].)
    My point is that there ARE games that sell well, and also run on Linux, but as lots of people point out, nobody really does ports because it's not "established." A Valve establishment would be a great boon for Linux gaming.

    Yea, totally worth the X millions devoted to development, marketing, production, art direction, distribution, etc., for Linux

    Take your false cynicism and bitterness and educate yourself. The only extra cost is development: artwork, models, particles, etc. don't change. There wouldn't be a chicken and egg problem if more people did double ports to Mac and Linux instead.
