Perhaps, but not for running Windows software.

"and partially implements Windows API functionality. The latter is
assisted by including parts from the Wine compatibility layer for
Unix-like operating systems, but other functionality is implemented by
the developers themselves. However, progress has been hampered by a
lack of developers with relevant skill-sets."

I could tell you a lot of horror stories about musicians that tried to
use Wine to turn Linux into a useful audio production platform, but
we'd be wasting both of our time.

If you really want a Linux gaming solution, your best bet is probably
the newly announced SteamOS from Valve.  

But I would caution anyone to be very careful what they wish for.  I
see SteamOS as really just another console platform.  The more time
Valve spends on it, and the more folks that support it can do nothing
but deteriorate PC gaming as we know it.  I understand why Valve is
doing what they're doing, but as PC gamers is it not necessarily in
our best interest.

People piss and moan about Windows and constantly look for something
else primarily because they don't have enough experience with the
alternatives to realize they're already using the best available
option.
