    Low-jitter!

    Well I have this thing called .. low-jitter kernel

    Relay it to the ubuntu folks, I`m banned in their forum. I think I called someone gay or something.

      yeah, and also network latency, could be a killer feature.

        Process clean-up actions seems important. I was left with a 640x480 screen several times in the past when something goes wrong or even when exiting a game normally.

          That's funny - they almost verbatim reiterate a list of main linux problems ;-)

            Well it's good that (due to Valve, Humble-Bundle, and Unity) something's finally being done about it.

              What ?

              They're begining to try to solve these problems 7 years after launching ubuntu... okay, I'll begin to pay for ubuntu in 7 years too.

                  Well those are killer feature for me. I just hope their improvements are not meant for Unity only; KDE/Kubuntu also get the resolution reset feature.

                    If they really make work on these points (especially on Unity), gaming or no, I think it'll be great.
