Thanks! I've definately done the GPU PCI passthrough to play AAA games on linux, before steam for linux came out.

Honestly, I can't think of a time where I my linux machine couldn't do something essential that my windows machine could. But vice versa is another story. Try to run a server on regular windows desktop and it will want to reboot every week for updates. I'm wondering why I got downvotes...maybe simply because I sounded combative or fanboyish...
