ha ha.. you smoking something?

there is not very much demand for Linux games.. i don't think so..

Linux is basically used for a server or a dependable OS for companies not general public.. however it would be a good idea... if Linux was easier to use...

many people use linux, not just servers and companies, as time goes on it becomes more popular. there is a way to make bhd and jo work on linux (not sure of dfx) through the use of an emulator (Cedega):

i would love to use linux all the time (if i knew more about it) but the fact is that even if you can make the games work with it you still are not going to have a stable setup.. when linux becomes popular ill use it all the time.. but until then im staying with windows..

They just need to make it so you don't have to run an emulator to run a PC game.

Sorry to say but Gaming is the drive behind the PC Market.
