I am planing on installing debian minimal when I build my new pc.
Now besides waiting for Steam on Linux or running a VM what is the best way?
I am thinking wine with PlayOnLinux.
Anyone now anything better?
yeah, that's a good program, from what i've seen
Dual boot and wait for better linux support while windows keeps pissing off the industry.
PlayOnLinux is very good. But as of now i still dual boot windows for the sake of performance with games.
Dual Boot. Or tri-boot. Or quad-boot. Or septuple-boot (if your name is Dr. Cooper).
With my current setup, I can't dual-boot my Windows 7 with Linux unfortunately. My monitor doesn't support the resolution that the GRUB bootloader is so I have to wait until I get a new one. :/
do you even need to see what you're choosing? You can always guess :)
People just need to move their asses to linuc so it becomes more profitable! But, gamers do not move to linux since there arent a lot of games available, so who should fix this, microsoft, or individual gamers..... hm i wonder.
But its probably not that simple and im just talking crap sounding like a real educated person wearing a monocle.
Check out Desura while you're waiting for Steam to get their games up to speed.

You could also try running games over a VM:

Wine will be faster in most cases though... check out the Wine appdb: http://appdb.winehq.org/
