Steam for Linux, SteamOS, Spotify, and a raft of indie and middle-tier games for Linux.
And now support by both AMD and NVIDIA for the open source graphics drivers?

It seems increasingly less relevant having to dual-boot your PC to Windows to play games and "get stuff done". I'm impressed! It was always a not-so-secret hope of mine, but realistically I didn't expect it to happen this soon.

Yeah, I stopped using Windows completely early this year, when the Windows 8 preview ran out of time. I've actually played *more* games since then, due to all the good Linux games in this year's Humble Bundles and Weekly Sales.
