Windows video games, help
 
Okay I need things that can emulate Windows, im running slacko, and I need this for gaming and skyp.
I know of wine but I noticed that it doesn't do everything, is that the only thing?

If you have a legit copy of Windows and a brawny enough computer, you could install and run Windows in a virtual machine.

This article provides a pretty good overview: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualMachines

I use VirtualBox, mostly because I'm used to it.

If you're gaming, just consider dual-booting. Most games now use some type of version control system, anticheat software, or networking component that works via a rootkit driver that is useless under Linux. If you have hardware accelerated graphics requirements virtual machines can be very limited in support, mostly sometimes to 2D only and very basic 3D.

Your solutions are either a combination of native Linux games and PlayOnLinux, or dual-booting.

Or both, of course.
