Nvidia's Ginormous Gift to Linux Gamers

"This could sway game companies to make more games for Linux, meaning that gamers would have to boot into Windows less and less, eventually maybe not at all," said blogger Linux Rants. "Where go the games go the users. Other applications follow. If played correctly on the market, this could be the first step for Linux to more global acceptance on the desktop."

This is some good news for us Linux gamers.
I am guessing this is the result of Torvalds Drops F-Bomb on Nvidia (06/25/12).  I guess when you piss someone off so badly that you get cussed out in the public media that you may want to reconsider your actions.

In other news the native port of Steam to Linux is coming along nicely.
