Isn't restricting your choice pool to FOSS games a satisfying compromise for GNU/Linux gaming?

Obviously kidding, Valve's efforts will IMO greatly expand Linux's target audience which is laudable. Seems to me that limitation was one of the main pullbacks for Linux adoption, especially in non-developer circles. Requiring dual-booting just for games on the Windows partition is not a convenient band-aid, and Stallman's solution never was one at all.

The other one is MS Office. If you get those two right, linux is a viable desktop OS.
