Hello all, I am currently in the planning phase of building my gaming desktop! I am just thinking ahead, and wanted to ask a very important question: Pay for Windows 7 or get Linux for free?
A couple of concerns I had for going for Linux:
Support of Drivers?
Game Availability?
Performance?
Compatibility?
If Linux lacks a majority of the above, I would be willing to buy Windows. Please get back to me soon with answers and recommendations!

P.S. If you want to see what parts I am planning to use, check here:

games is the biggest issue with linux. If Valve can get dev's on board with steamOS, maybe in a few years their will be linux games, but for now, if you want to game any good, new games, it's Windows or bust.

Pay for Windows and get the features all you want and will want.

That's what I was thinking. I would like to see Linux grow into something big, but for now, Its best to go Windows.

Actually Linux was build for server(web) purpose, not for home/desktop use.

Some argue over it, but the fact is Linux is not the good choice for desktop use.
