I think they should at least do an annual "Year of the Linux desktop!" episode!

I wouldn't say it has anything to do with the financial affluence of the gamer, but I agree with you that the vast vast majority of gamers simply do not care. Like with a lot of things, that same majority would be better off if they did.

Which is why democracy is a failure without education.

Honestly you're spoiled for choice when it comes to cpus, anything you're looking at should for the most part "just work" as long as it's within the last 3-8 generations of cpus (I'd recommend the last 2, since they significantly improved power efficiency and you're going for a laptop). What you'll mainly want to consider is linux support for the system devices (wifi, etc, etc) which you can Google per model and robustness of the device (which is slightly subjective, but a 1.1lbs 5mm thick whatever is generally less robust than say a ThinkPad).

It's abstraction all the way down?!

Also there's a decent difference in "I want to spend the entire time disconnected" and "I want to enjoy nature for the day, crack a beer by the fire, and then game a little before tucking in for the night". All respect to the former, but it's not for everyone and doesn't need to be.

Ah, that makes sense. The ol' Google plus gambit.
