    Gaming Support

    Is there any way of getting involved in a petition to get more games ported over to Linux? I've seen some good games out there and would like to run them, but they don't run in Linux (including WINE). I just don't know how to pressure companies to support Linux. I know one of the main reasons some games don't run is because of the heavy implementation of DirectX over OpenGL. Well anyway, I'd love to know how to start or contribute to any campaigns.

    Buy more linux games on steam.

    You can petition all you want but revenue in the end will be what gets more games on to linux.

    Humble bundles are great to.

    Give your money to developers that has already released games on Linux, that will both encourage them and show that there is a potential market for other developers.

    Giving an actual profit for their dedication to this OS > signing petitions.

    There are always plenty of Linux game projects on Kickstarter that need help with funding.
