I'm glad you explained Forks. Totally understood. Sometimes they seem like a "fork" to noobs because they have all of these options to do the same thing with Wine. Agreed with Wine website. Hence why I originally drifted towards PlayOnLinux. WINE alone was just too complicated to test all of...

I didn't know what else to call it. I guess a 3rd Party for WINE? Yeah PlayOnLinux is another 3rd Party for WINE as well. So many people using WINE to do the same thing.. Imagine if they all worked on WINE, it would probably be even better. I'm glad people are patching WINE, its one of the...

Very interesting... WineStaging is yet another fork of Wine. I'm sticking with PlayOnLinux because I've invested so much time in it and have had so much success. Let me know what you guys fine in WineStaging. I'll try anything once.

That is great. I'm guessing you are running Linux as your Minecraft server? I've always had some kind of central repository for all of my files, games, media, backups, etc. Fedora has served me well. I used Fedora 8 for years and never updated it or upgraded it. Then I got a SuperMicro server...

Interesting. How did you get it running? Did you try Mint 17? Don't forget to install those 32-bit libraries. Are the proprietary drivers installed for your video card/chip?

Agreed, its better that gamers know it DOES work One pet-peeve I have with AppDB is the "garbage" reports for games that actually run in Wine. Some require patched versions of Wine, but they run never-the-less

Thanks for this confirmation. I always suspected Mozilla was copying Chrome and changing stuff behind the scenes. I'll definitely try out Firefox 35.

I just got Team Fortress 2 and Left4Dead 2 running as listenserver. I'll see how well the performance is with 6 computers. I already ran Team Fortress 2 with 6 computers and everything was smooth as silk. I had no idea this was already implemented without a dedicated server. The catch with TF2...

True, if I was going to list my personal favorite then I would list all the best features of Mint

So your GTX285 was running smoothly for a long time? What settings were you using? I noticed even my 550 Ti was slowing down with everything on HIGH at a resolution of 1680x1050 So you might have to lower the video settings or invest in a new card. Which distro are you running?

Ah, ok, I'll try it as well. Did you ever try Firefox 36? I'm concerned the the newer versions will have problems in Wine.

Awesome! Thanks for the information. I don't have Battlefield 2142, otherwise I would definitely do a guide on it. They use the same Refractor Engine correct?

That opens up another Noob question: Why doesn't Linux have this translation built in already?

Seriously? How can these huge companies no know about this the last 10 years? No surprise that phones were targeted first. I'm glad I never use Internet Explorer. It still seems to be a targeted browser more than Firefox, Chrome and others. Some day I will be 100% Linux and not have to worry...

That is a really good point. As games are released as Dx10 only, our last hope is they get some Linux attention. The timing is almost perfect too! Linux is getting really big as developers are starting to "write off" Windows XP and Direct X 9

Agreed! WINE is the main reason I switched to Linux. Its amazing what they have achieved with guessing and reverse engineering. I have always wondered how to explain what WINE does when translating those calls from applications. Is there a simple way to explain it to noobs? I don't fully...

Mind: Path To Thalamus is an epic puzzle adventure where you play the role of a Tsunami survivor stuck in his own mind while in a coma. He searches for his daughter Sophia but finds the inner depths of his mind a surrealistic place of memories and fantasy. Experience stunning visuals, control...

I think an important question/doubt is: Can I install and play all of my games with a single version of WINE? Kinda like installing all of my games in Windows XP on the C:\ drive Is there a day when Wine could handle all the requirements for most games without having to setup wineprefixes...

Shadow of Mordor might be the next game I spend more than $5.00 on. My wife bought Skyrim used for $30 on amazon a year after it was released. That was the last "big" purchase I've made for games. I'm very impressed with what I see in The Witcher 3... but I'm going to wait for a sale or...

Very cool. If only I had the patience to setup Arch Linux. Honestly I would rather spend my free time testing games than learning my operating system. I don't mind doing a few tweaks here and there to fix something or optimize, but I really want to be gaming. I know its two fold because if...
