Gaming on Linux: I’ll Stick With Wine, Please
,----[ Quote ]
| In general, there are a lot of reasons to avoid wine and promote native Linux
| software instead. But when it comes to gaming, I think that developers are
| best off relying on wine as a vehicle to the Linux desktop. Vendors should
| make sure their games will run well on wine, rather than delving into the
| much muckier work of writing native Linux games.
