The biggest problem with linux is gaming. My store bought games only run winblows. This sux for me because I want so much to be able to ditch the M$ and rely only on my Kanotix.

So... My question being is, Linux is becoming a lot more Mac friendly, does this mean that Mac programs (such as games) will be capable of running on a x86 linux system? Am I going to need an emulator (wine) etc...?

Clearly, any program specifically requiring Macintosh's unique architecture probably wouldn't work, and frankly I've never owned a Mac, or ventured to far into the Linux compatible games, so forgive me if I ask a stupid questions like a newbie. I just fiqured this would be the best place to start by asking questions.

As my ending statement. I hope one day to be able to simply pop in a cd into my linux box and play the game or install software without jumping through to many hoops, and without losing to much security.


All comments are appreciated, thank you.

Maybe look at Cedega on the Transgaming site. A number of Windows games *will* work under Linux. As for games designed for Mac, I honestly don't know, but I'd guess you're still looking at a different OS with underlying code being different so they wouldn't work straight under Linux.

cedega looks awsome, I will definatly look into it. thx
