Linux was mature 5 years ago, and is still maturing, in fact I would say that the Linux 2.6 was the most successful kernel ever made. If you mean that Linux is maturing for games, C/C++ is as is Java, Python and Mono.
I appreciate your C++ preference, and I think is a great language (at least the C++ 11 with lambdas, type inference , saner template errors). I also hope that more software will appear on Linux or the one that is around it will be so good, that Windows will be just the thing of the past.
