Ok well im installing linux on my old laptop at the moment and after reading more about linux i think i may want to try it on my main PC, its pretty good, it can handle most things. But im wondering if there are problems when installing games? I play a game called warrock alot and id hate to give that up, where can i find the steps in installing a windows based game into linux.

Look at WineHQ. Wine is an application layer that lets some windows programs run on linux.

The other option that is used a lot is called "dual boot" where you keep a version of windows installed just for gaming. When you want to play, you just reboot into windows and play your games, but use linux for all your other tasks.
