Both of them have driver issues like Pemalite said plus I'm pretty sure the comment Linus made was about nvidia drivers not being open source, even though amd gives pretty mediocre linux support they atleast make the drivers open source so that other users from the linux community can improve it unlike when your stuck with an issue on an nvidia driver on linux your pretty much screwed unless nvidia fixes it. 

You took my post out of context. I was reffering to Windows. :P

It's common knowledge that nVidia has a massive edge over AMD in regards to Linux support, that's been status quo for years.

As for games support, you also have Wine (Supports 20,000 games and programs from Windows!).

And you have Steam Linux (About 100 odd games).

You also have DosBox for running old DOS games, there are also emulators for pretty much every console/handheld on par with Windows.

So really, game support does exist, it still pales in comparison to Windows though, but it's not like it's a barren wasteland. :P

There's just one thing that it's missing and that's DX11 support. So far it's fine when using DX9 but when newer games start exclusively using DX11 that's when it will start to fall behind.
