Little background story.

So when I first heard about the NSA spying on people I wasn't surprised, it also was the reason why I switched to Ubuntu. (Full time) It had it's disadvantages when comparing to Windows and it's AAA games and other stuff.

My best friend is somewhat upset about me, using full time Ubuntu, because we play a game named "Dayz (an addon for Arma II)" and WineHQ wasn't of any help. Not to mention that he keeps asking me if WineHQ can run Dayz, but he clearly doesn't understand the situation of WineHQ, that it's free, that you have to be happy with what you got at the moment.

(I'm not going to dual boot because, how else is gaming on Ubuntu/Linux going to happen?)

But whenever I was in a nasty situation where I could do something so simply on Windows and not/hard on Ubuntu, I always thought "It's almost virus free, It's free, No one is spying on me."

My Questions: My English isn't all that good, so could some one simplify/explain what the hell is going on the below standing link?

Ubuntu Spyware: What to Do?

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.html

• When will gaming on Linux/Ubuntu be a real thing?

• I've heard that the X server's code is a mess and that Wayland will replace X server. When/will this come reality? (I might have understood this wrong.)
