Linux is not a turd. The problem is that its not really commercially viable (for the desktop/home user) so there are very few mainstream programs that function natively in Linux (World of Warcraft?).
Yes there are "workarounds" - but at what point does it virtually become irrelevant, I think it already has. Once more vendors develop Linux branches then it will truely be viable.
