Gaming on Linux
Traditionally, Linux has seen even less gaming use than the Mac OS. These days, some indie developers are putting out a Linux version of their games, while traditional big budget games have mostly avoided the platform. This may change in the future, as Valve has let slip their plans on releasing a Linux compatible version of the Steam client.
Wine
Wine is a compatibility layer that aims to make Windows games playable on Linux OS's. The number of games that work properly is steadily growing, although not all games are supported. See our Wine article for more information.
