I looked at the blog post you pointed out. You should stay away of such
a stupid thing as a blog for hating something. Indeed the blog post is
biased. If you follow the link, you'll find a set of normal questions
from a non-linux game developer, and the first answers that they got are
entirely reasonable. There's not so much to say: SDL is dated but it's
working well. OpenGL is the state-of-the-art 3d graphics library.
That's what i can read in the replies.

And the conclusion is that linux for now may have worse tools, but
you'll surely get the job done.
