> They would have an edge if they would actually be pushing for native GNU/Linux games, as it is The game using a PE or ELF for its binary is irrelevant, what matters is the game actually running. There was a fringe loud minority that went all "No Tux No Bux" a few years ago but nobody really cares about that anymore. > it is just like OS/2 runs Windows better than Windows, kind of thing. This is a myth, OS/2 was only able to run 16bit Windows software and that was when 32bit Windows software - which OS/2 was unable to run - was starting to become relevant. In addition OS/2 wasn't even able to run 16bit Windows software as good as real Windows as there were various small incompatibilities (e.g. try running Delphi 1 on it and see all the visual gliches). And finally OS/2's (in)compatibility with Windows was among the smaller of its issues - more important was the lack of hardware support at a time when 3rd party "PC compatible" hardware was the majority of PCs and lack of support by IBM themselves (the story mentioning how IBM saw OS/2 as an accessory to their mainframe business has been posted a few times over the years here). And let's not forget the anticompetitive licensing scheme Microsoft had for their OSes that practically forced people to get DOS/Windows unless they explicitly asked for something different (that would end up more expensive).
