I swapped back and forth between Ubuntu and Debian for 8 years, before making the jump to Arch two years ago. You really can't go wrong with the Debian based distros.

How optimized are graphically intensive games like this though? I would love to see some comparison reports. I haven't decided what OS I want to use on my new PC build.

Depends on the game. When The Witcher 2 was first released, it was pretty poor, but it has improved a lot since then. That port was done by the same people as this BioShock port.

It indeed depends on the port. Native ports have higher chances of taking the full advantage of OpenGL, but it still depends on developers' skill. With Vulkan coming however situation will improve, since there will be a potential to use hardware to full parallelism capacity. You don' t need to have a mutually exclusive choice until you are ready for full switch though. For example get two hard drives and install several OSes in parallel (it's cleaner and more flexible to install each OS on its own hard drive rather than using one for both). Then just dualboot for whatever purpose you need until you are ready to switch.

Redfern: Considering thing that they released Bioshock drm-free in Humble Bundle....maybe on GOG too?
Niggles: Yeah but how old is the game?. Im pretty cynical but many of these big publishers will only even contemplate drm free once they've squeezed the last drop out of the drm'ed versions OFC such scheme is only helping to spread Steam even more and only principal fanatics refuse to "join Dark\Light Side". You want to play new game? Register on Steam. No option.
Only when steam sales drops to near zero they consider to rerelease it drm-free.

As i wrote in other topic, in last years, "usual" practice is to release game for Windows and ONLY on Steam (Origin for some), and maybe after "significant" delay - drm-free. Its now normal even for crowdfunded or many top indie games.
Not that I know. All crowdfunded games I paid attention to had DRM-free releases form day one. And I wouldn't support any game which doesn't promise a DRM-free release. Voting with your wallet is not fanaticism, it's a normal practice. If anything, those who support DRMed releases by buying them can blame themselves for DRM still being in use.
