If you want to get into free software / open-source audio game development, I
am sure Linux distributors would be interested in including your work in their
distributions. There are games for Linux, but not audio ones as far as I know.

I don't play games - my priorities are elsewhere. However, I have a CD of the
Infocom collection, which I bought ten years ago when it was still available.
Those games can be played perfectly well under Linux, because they're
implemented in a virtual machine, and interpreters are readily available for
many operating systems, including Linux. I haven't had much time for them but
at least I have the CD.
