All the key application I need at home (World of Warcraft) doesn't run 
at all under Linux.  It does run on a Mac, though, and if my money tree 
sprouts any time soon I can ditch the Windows machine altogether.

But even so, I would still strongly recommend a home router.  There are 
fewer exploits for a home router than for your average Linux box, even 
those home routers running a variant of Linux.  It's also generally 
easier to keep a router up to date than it is to keep a Linux host up to 
date.
