Hi 1timebuilder,
Most games are written for Windows, and the best gaming OS is Windows 98SE (in my opinion). If you don't want to use Windows, you'll have to play games on a console, Linux doesn't have much game support.

The most supported platform for gaming is Windows + DirectX.
It will run on Win95, 98, ME as well as 2K and XP, but Win98SE has the best performance on the Win9x series. 2K is a bit slower and XP. . I dunno, haven't tested it yet so intensively. RJ

Your post concerning illegal things has been deleted - that is a major no-no on this board.

I run Win2K, and it actually runs some games faster than Win9x/ME. Make sure you install SP2 and DX8.1, though. Stable, fast, and secure (relatively).
