Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's one argument against monolithic kernels and for microkernels, though I'm sure both kernels still need mechanisms for recovery, but perhaps the microkernel has an easier time with it.Test signature

Unfortunately, Linux can't even really begin to be properly targeted by game companies due to the lack of standard interfaces to make Linux a platform. Every game that does come out is going to have an annoying, shoddy installer that won't allow users to remove it easily, or completely ignore making an installer.
If the Linux community can't even figure out how to communicate and get all of the basics properly in place for allowing software to be shared/portable between distros, Linux is going to continue to get no ground-breaking titles.
Maybe Blizzard would actually consider porting games to Linux - since releasing for OSX is most of the work completed already - if only Linux had awesome program package installation standards to match.
