I recently installed Linux Mint to an external SSD and boot into it for gaming in Linux. Steam and many games work just fine in Linux. (I pretty much just play TF2.) I've used Linux on and off through the years, but don't use it daily in my work. I was very pleasantly surprised at how for the most part Linux Mint just works. My current personal machine is a MacBook Air, but given the the direction Apple is headed with laptops, I won't be buying an Apple when I need to replace it. I don't want to use Microsoft spyware. So, I will likely use Linux for a new personal machine when my MBA is too old.
