Debian here. I'm running Jessie, and once it finally settled out from 
the "upgrade" experience (which can be a brass knuckles experience) it 
runs peachy. I did find that the Steam offerings which relied on wine 
would refuse to run if you routinely use more than one monitor. Any 
NATIVE Linux game runs just fine, even spread across 4 monitors. THAT is 
hard core gaming! I spent the first money I've spent on software in a 
LONG time and they were all lemons that needed Wine.

Steam has a policy that they will return your money once, if a game 
isn't to your liking, After that, they keep your money no matter what.
