Hey guys,

If you haven't heard, Windows 8 drops in October (around the release
of 12.10) and a lot of speculation says people will be looking for
alternate operating systems, Windows 8 gets rid of a lot and it is
another Windows Vista as it were, whereas Unity has become a pleasure
to use. So I think Ubuntu may get a lot of new users during this
time...

Some of the main things that stop users migrating are gaming, programs
not working etc, but Steam is releasing a client for Linux and Unity
(the gaming engine) as well, I think this page could do with an
update: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/ and also, could we
write a new page about "Linux Gaming" and get it to the first page of
Google? At the moment the second result is an article from 2009:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=gaming+linux
