They are only sampling ten paaticular games. If they included all games or even just games that run poorly then it would be far behind. I use Linux on my desktop but will still boot into windows rather than fussing with it.
When was the last time you tried "fussing with it"? I've been gaming on Linux for over a year now, and it's been incredibly seamless. The only game that gave me any trouble at all was Assetto Corsa (the first).
Edit: and I did get it running. I won't lie, it was a PITA. And it ran, and I played it for maybe 30 mins. :)
A few years of linux and the game becomes finding stuff that doesn't work and making it work. Once you get it working you don't bother using it, because it's more fun to go find the next thing that doesn't work and figure out how to make it work.
Ha ha... Yeah... I've noticed this too. Human psychology is weird.
