A Desktop Operating System is so much more than what the author claims it to be. Lets break down the arguments:<p>- Viable Gaming Platform: Viable does not mean good.<p>- Hardware: Things have improved massively, I&#x27;ll give the author that much, but is nowhere near where Windows is.<p>- Software: The grade of commercial software for linux is laughable. Sure, you can get plenty of free tools that are also available on other operating systems as well. But you&#x27;ll be in trouble if you want something as good as Camtasia or Screenflow. Microsoft and Apple both have plenty of high grade commercial apps that work on their platforms.
