Does a game "run on Linux" when it has 100% feature parity? 90%? 80%? What are you willing to cut? Some performance? A few graphical effects? Multiplayer?

When you look at the details, Linux gaming is not as good as it might seem.

But I'm still gaming on Linux!

What you sacrifice in feature parity, you gain in user freedom and principle. To me, that is a worthwhile tradeoff. Especially since it's really not that much different at this point. You're not sacrificing much in most cases now. It's really quite remarkable.

Freedom to not play the games your friends are playing, without you.

I can't remember the last time a game did anything other than run (this is with only trying games that have been documented to work). I think the worst I've had is audio not working in cut scenes in some game, but I don't remember what game it was.

Age of Empires II is very popular but doesn't have multiplayer support on Linux.
