It's not a myth that that Linux developers have failed to create reliable distros and emulation layers that allow for most games to be playable.  


It's taken outside actors (e.g. Valve) to build and refine an OS environment that makes it approachable to the layman, and works without crashing.

... what? linux is a kernel, not an operating system, and it (and any of the mainstream distributions) are far, far more stable than their nt/windows and darwin/macos counterparts, and have far more flexibility in userland if something special was needed for a game.

the issue is that _game developers_ do not spend the time and money on releasing for linux, primarily because of the smaller market share not justifying the investment.
