first off linux does have a lot of support and its only growing and also you can always run a gaming vm on linux although considering you bought a mac :/ you probably cant do it anyways it would overheat or just be to under powered linux ideally is the perfect os for anyone you customize it to be yours. i was on and off linux until about a week or two ago i took a chance and installed arch on my windows hdd and ive found my place with mobile games therefore not playing as many pc games now i have a amazing looking and feeling os on my pc now i agree everyone has their own opinion but thats the point of customization on linux everyone can do what they like and as linux gets more software support day by day its becoming one of the bets OS out there and i truly think youll find your niche and hopefully switch anyways best regards. ,Monte
