I share your thoughts and feelings on gaming, it has its place and i enjoy the challenge trying to make things work however gaming is really limited in Linux but wine is certainly helping to make it possible. I enjoy playing doom3 and I will go several months without ever playing and when i hit at it again I still get goose bumps haha that is simply an amazing game and plays fine in Linux. Puppy Linux is great, i enjoy its simplicty, I use VirtualBox and boot it up from time to time. I use a variety of distros but primarily debian, Gos is great for those that like simplicity and want to access their google and gmail computing.
