@OP : I downloaded linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-32bit.iso . Can I try it without installing like ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso ??
So should I just click on "start linux mint" ?? I tried it in SARDU's Quem .iso testing facility .. it would show white screen only..
There are alot of linux native games for linux. Half Life 2 series, Portal, Wasteland 2, XCOM Enemy Within, The Witchers 2 and a lot more thanks to steam. As for windows games, run Wine or playonlinux
Yup, hope more support steam linux - Wine/PlayOnLinux is a cop-out IMHO... don't use it... never will.
Why you want to play windows games on linux anyway ? then stick with windows instead. Linux is already a pain in the ass with all the sudo commands and s**t support for NVIDIA cards. Most of the time your linux will freeze and you need to do CTRL + ALT = BACKSPACE to login again (to get out of the freeze mode). Linux is not perfect, it's still stuck in the 80's begin 90's. Ubuntu released a update (14.10) that removes FINALLY the x.org server crap from linux (the s**tty display drivers). Many NVIDIA drivers had issues with that. Sure Mint 17.1 didn't adapt to that part. As much how i love Linux Mint, i can't stand against those random freezes. No one on their community knows how to fix it so i doubt it will ever get fixed by them. Even ubuntu said they fixed the issue 2 years ago (the freezing part) and yet the bug still comes back. I didn't test 14.10 with the new display drivers but i am not going to waste more time on linux. I never had any freezes in windows but linux, such a pain.
Rebecca upgrade went smoothly - only issue thus far is that StarkMenu 1.3.3 applet doesn't support Cinnamon 2.4
