@Axxer - I have not installed Windows on my computer, so I can't exactly tell you how Slackware compares to Windows 7 for Dolphin. I can tell you that I have not encountered any problem that would have made me consider switching. OpenGL performance on Linux is quite good, as far as I can tell. Aside from documented game glitches (such as those on the wiki), the games play as I would expect them to on the actual hardware (albeit in HD :p)
I'm really glad Dolphin has such great Linux support. A year and a half ago, I seriously wasn't expecting GC/Wii emulation to be viable on my distro. My mentality was formed after having observed that emulators on Linux for the Saturn, Dreamcast, and even the N64 were behind their Windows counterparts. I kinda expected the same for the GC and Wii. But imagine my surprise when I got TimeSplitters 2 running almost perfectly. Sometimes I'm still impressed that I can play these games on my computer.
If you are going to be testing on Linux, feel free to add some more entries to the Dolphin wiki. You probably won't find a lot of difference in terms of compatibility, but it's just nice to know that different operating systems are being looked at. A lot of games haven't been "tested" on Linux yet. I kinda joined with that purpose in mind, as you can still see from my custom user title.
