The games and stuff don’t have to be free.

Someone can port an older game, with permission, but then have a paying version with improved graphics and stuff. It would be interesting to see something like that.

Not just games of course but other programs too.

Games: Valve’s Steam service and indie game developers are making more and more new games that run on Linux. I was really surprised at some of them, like “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” for example.

Gabe Newell, who used to work at Microsoft back in the early days and is a co-founder of Valve, has good instincts about gaming and thinks Linux is going to be the future dominant OS of PC games.
