I'm wondering what games are solely for Linux? I dual boot Ubuntu Linux/WIn Vista and everything I want to play has a windows installer - general PC usually covers it.
there aren't enough (if any?) titles exclusive to Linux, nor enough development for it, nor enough users for it to really be considered a platform. yet.

I disagree about 'not enough users' thing, I know plenty of gamers who run linux - usually dual boot with windows to be able to play DirectX10 games

It's the same reason why Windows isn't considered a platform.
I mean I don't see people lumping Xbox, Windows, and Dreamcast together because they all use a Windows OS nor could I imagine people lumping Linux and Playstation 2 and 3 together because of the Linux OS.
I think more games for linux could be o good thing to accelerate a wider adoption of it. Bigger games. My guess is, developers say it's not cost -effective to develop for it.
All Operating Systems should be classified under the PC platform. Which, although commonly misused, means "Personal Computer". It's all-encompassing."
I agree. It doesn't matter if I am running Linux or Windows, the computer itself is exactly the same. Although I would probably put Macs in a separate category even though they are used for personal computer purposes, but that's because of some hardware differences and how it basically separates itself from PC's.
