Install Wine.

Download the steam installer from steampowered(dot)com.

Download tahoma.ttf, search in google.

Drag the tahoma.ttf to your ~.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

Go to terminal, located in Applications>Accessories>Termi­nal, and type the following: wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi

Sign into your account after steam updates and download CS: Source.

This should get it installed for you.

and noobs....

How do you get it to run so smoothly? O.o

[clownbabydiode1]

Forget about Linux gaming unless you have a Nvidia card 8800 GT or greater, and a dual core CPU

Single core cpu will work but your fps might not be as high as you want it

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

you are a tool.

[LittlezDDR]

Yeah. Just for fun I'm gonna try this on my Windows computer (despite that windows is shit; MAC FTW).

[WarDemon282]

I know. And I meant to say ten year old engine.

[FuzzyGhost]

Oh, I was talking original Half-Life, not Source. :P

[WarDemon282]

Half-Life uses Open GL so it has no problem running (not to mention the fact that it's an eight year old engine). I'm on linux right now and the performance simply isn't on par with windows, even when forcing DirectX 8.1 for Source.

[FuzzyGhost]

He meant configure your WINE files, not the game preferences. Their should be guides out there. Google would be your best bet.

Granted, I've not played any of my games in Windows, but I've not really run into low frame-rate with Linux in my games. I've got an AMD Athlon 3200+ (2GHz), MSI RX2400 Pro (ATi HD2400, 256MB DDR3 RAM). Then again, the only game I've played with WINE so far is Half-Life, and I ran it at 1440x900 and never noticed slow down.  The other games I play are Doom 3, Quake 3, and Quake 4 (Runs good/Runs well/Need better hardware).

I understand what you're saying, but it is a trade off either way.

[WarDemon282]

They do still run at lower framerates than in windows. Even though you have less running the games are simply not designed for Linux.
