hmm, OK, so mickeysoft is changing one of their APIs yet again... and
that relates to linux games how?

I'm just suggesting that more of the balance falls to the DirectX
crowd than ever before.

Unless OpenGL has something competitive to this, I can't see
developers choosing to port games to openSUSE or other distros.

LOL, nobody has ever ported a game to opensuse, no need. Like I said, my
quake 3 arena demo binary from 1999 has played just fine on every
distro I've tried.

What happens is top developers like John Carmack write OpenGL, and the
result is automatically rather standards friendly. DX is a problem, but
all problems have their solutions. I'm not throwing in the towel and I
don't think anybody else here should either.
