Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.
Easy doesn't matter as much for me, since I've been using Linux for more than a quarter century, but stable is important. And, something that makes it easy to deal with the video card drivers sounds very nice.
I assume that if it's Linux that a system that is optimized for playing games could still be used as a web server, or to develop software. But, seeing as how my gaming machine is mostly used for gaming / web stuff, it would be nice to choose a distro with that as the focus.
