As a brand new (5 months?) Linux user I have a pretty good experience with MINT that resurrecetd my old laptop (1,7 Ghz, 2 Ghz Ram), with LXDE is fast as hell and couldn't image better OS for my current work needs. It's stabel, doesn't crash, doesn't get slow under the flow of time (shut-down still last no more than 4-5 sec, fukken wow). In short, there won't be any Windowz on this comp, period.
...but gaming sux ass Emulators are ok, some of them works somehow better then on Windows (PPSSPP!) but I mean proper PC games. I've heard before many good thing about WINE, mainly for it's performance since it's not an emulator, I had hopes that old games (released 'till 2001) would be playable with no problem and I was wrong e.g. Tiberian Sun has massive slowdowns, Red Alert 2 runs on speed of 10 fps and some games cannot even start without desktop emulation turn on.
And I've read somewhere that some native linux apps runs WORSE than they WINED-Windows counterparts e.g. pSX emulator! WTF?
So, out of your linux experience, what's best / most reliable way to play on this OS? Seeking for native stuff, Wine or maybe Virtual Machine with Win'98 installed?
