Steam For Linux

[Robtygart]

I am looking at Steam for Linux, not really sure what to expect, can I play any of my Windows games such as "Oblivion"?

You can only play those games that are able to be run on Linux, and are available via Steam there are about 200+ so far, and more are to come , they say.

Actually, searching for linux games seems to show 473 titles, but again, it has to be available via Steam and ported to Linux.

Apparently my Steam account is 8 years old, and I have never run it under Windows. But all my purchases -Half Life versions, mainly, are readily available (and playable) to me with the native Linux app.

A lot of the Windows games can be played thru wine. WineHQ has a setup for Oblivion.

I played Oblvivion through Wine about a year ago. It ran pretty well, bet there were a few bugs.

Thanks, I haven't had much luck with it under wine, since it will only run with Nvidia, I was hoping for something new.
