Have they put a loop in their media players yet? Nope. Then no go here. That is my only real issue with linux distros. I like to loop my pr0n.
I seriously doubt there is going to be a place for gaming within Linux for years to come. Somthing about the fact that it is a free os maybe. Yes can run whine for some applications, but was sort of crappy. I also used somthing from trans-gaming I think that was geared more toward gaming applications. It worked, but not as well if had just slapped on windows.
