Games are more geared towards windows. I would recommend a dual boot.

As far as I know, any game utilizing OpenGL will run on any platform that supports OpenGL natively...Linux, UNIX/OSX, etc. The games you can't so easily play without something like WINE are the ones using DirectX.

Because Runescape was made in Java! Just about anything made in Java will run on anything platform that supports Java...and most do. Smile

It all comes down to Linux in general, different distributions don't play any games others can't.

Kernal modifications can be done to help gaming, prepacked games etc you can. They are all things you can do user end, just all bundled better.
