If you like Linux, AVOID Intel Graphics. Especially GMA - Intel Graphics Media Accelerator - which are commodity graphics and are in much of the cheap crap sheeple are buying. Linux is hardware intensive, always was. If you want a Linux PC, you have to go and find out which hardware is cheap crap [like GMA] and NOT use that hardware. If your have a capable PC, you can do anything with a Linux except the MSMac stuff, which works sometimes and sometimes not, but that is what Duel Booting is for.
@StopTheCrusadors Did I say Mac software? Haha. No sorry, if you want to run Mac software, you have to pay for a Mac. Which is not a PC.... Apparently Macs can run Linux on the MAC. But MAC OS and Mac software works on neither Linux PCs nor Windows PCs.
I think that is the point, if you have a good computer like yours, you can play all those games, I have 2 gb ram and a pentium D and cant seem to play most of those games
That may be the case, but WINE does not ask for better configuration then usual game requirements, or recommended pc, because it is not emulating hardware like a SNES/PS2 emulator, but just translating windows instructions to linux. I am sure that your PC can run quality 2D games, and it can run all OpenGL powered games for sure... Try optimizing your system (turn off compiz for one, increase swap to 2 gb, not more) and experiment with DX6,7 and 8 games, if one does not work, try next one...
This game is ancient! When I played this game I had a Celeron 400Mhz, 64Mb ram and Tiva TNT video card with 16Mb VRAM! Is Linux so slow that you cannot play it with a pentium 4 an 2Gb RAM? LOL!
ThirdWorldCitizen"... It's old, like 2 or + years!
A pc or a mac, with that specifications... it's slow!
I've a e6750@3.5GHz, 4Gb DDR2@876Mhz, HD4850 512mb, and in linux ubuntu i have like 10fps more than in windows, with wine and a lot of other programs open... LINUX IS BETTER... AND IT'S FREE!
A thing is better if it is advertised widely and at great cost.
That is too bad.
I have used Linux for 20 years now, since the very beginning [well, not quite]. For me, it is perfect. It wasn't, but it is now, has been ready for The Real World for about five years, still few sheeple have even heard of it. Or, if they have, they have heard MS's and Mac's Shills BOUGHT TV and press.
I don't play games, getting to old to care about that.

Leaving compositing on while you're playing a game is just stupid. Learn some simple shell scripting.

@TheBlueAnarchy Why need to do anything in a terminal? Is not necessary anymore for sheeple. I love term, but term scares the crap out of MS sheeples.
SCSM, Simple Compiz Session Manager. A one click ON OFF compiz thingie. Is GUI. Allows a user to take command of his desktop with hardly a thought.

Haven't tried this on WINE just yet. I usually use Windows for games - a wee 25GB partition. WINE wouldn't run Morrowind.

I've tried and failed to make Black&White run in WINE myself. What did you do? D:

Compiz tomfooleries aside, you only showed the intro. Does gameplay work okay? Any issues/required workarounds one should know?
