| Feb 18, 2011 at 20:44 | comment | added | Jesse Webb | I would recommend using a VM of Windows inside of Linux as opposed to using Wine. My dual booted PC runs CS: Source at over 300 FPS in Windows but I only get 10-30 FPS in Ubuntu while using Wine. I think the best option is of coarse to dual-boot and run the applications natively for best performance. | |

Some games might work and some others may not, but Steam itself shouldn't be a problem. Some games will work only if you use some tweaks in the launch options. | |

| Feb 17, 2011 at 13:42 | comment | added | Grace Note♦ | The question of "How can I successfully run Steam games on Ubuntu through WINE or similar?" is valid here, no worries. Not to scare you off, but I also suggest you take a gander at the AskUbuntu site, not to ask this question but just to check out this question on running Steam on Ubuntu. | |
