Just a thought on this. As Vulkan comes out and matures applications previously written only for Windows or Mac or Linux/X11 will start having some compatibility. Many commercial products won't care about Linux even then, but some games might. To some minor extent any transition from OpenGL or DirectX (or whatever Mac has) will probably lead to more "killer app" (for some niche) progress under Linux.
