Do you want to play those games you use to play on Windows? One of the powerful applications on Linux is Wine. Wine (Wine Is Not Emulator) is free software that lets Linux users run Windows-based software. Wine is not only able to run games but also can be used to run applications.

So you can run Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, .NET Framework, and more. Games for Linux are usually free. Among the most popular games for Linux, there are Tremulous, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Nexuiz, Battle For Wesnoth, and Frets on Fire.
