I love Ubuntu Linux. The Breezy Badger has eliminated many of my issues/concerns with Hoary. Granted, I still use Windows 90% of the time, but would love to trash it entirely. It's just too much of a pain to reboot my computer before and after every computer game I play, and Linux is not cutting it for gaming for me for many reasons, despite the fact that I have several games that run natively on Linux. (Doom3, UT+mods, AA)
Honestly, there's not much that the Ubuntu team can do to fix these problems and get me to switch other than including a minimize function for fullscreen applications such as games, similar to alt-tab. The other issues are on the hands of game developers to use OpenGL instead of DirectX, and ATI to make better drivers that support AA/AF/Vsync/TB/good performance. Better positional audio support and EAX are important as well.
Rock on, Ubuntu and Linux. I wish I could use you more.:)
