It'll take more than just games.  Linux needs to evolve in terms of
usability and application base.  As a point of comparison: my first
Windows NT install was much more successful and less anxious than my 
first Linux install (I'll admit that it was Slackware, but I did have 
good instructions).

But, it will help.
