Тем более что Linux всегда был системой для серверов, разработчиков и бородатых сисадминов, которые считали компиляцию ядра формой медитации. Но последние опыты показали, что считать геймерской ОС исключительно Windows по меньшей мере неправильно. Потому что в играх и на некоторых конфигурациях пингвин показал себя гораздо лучше.
