Wine again? There are so many great games with native linux builds. It is perfectly reasonable to build a great and powerful gaming rig without wine. Rather than compromise we should hold devs to account: no linux build, no my money.

Some games are radically better ob linux. Most all of KSP's linux builds have been rock stable, far more so than contemporary windows builds.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have a dualboot setup, Windows mainly for games / Linux for dev and games. KSP is super nice to play. Funny enough, I spend most of my time playing Dwarf Fortress and Factorio.

It's really about the fact that Wine 2.0 was only just recently released.

I would argue that Steam/Valve is making great strides in providing Linux compatible games.
