 Does Ubuntu have its own games or do the PC games work on Ubuntu? Does Ubuntu have its own games or do the PC games work on Ubuntu? Ubuntu looks pretty cool but most of the times i use my PC for games. If i install Ubuntu will all the PC games and demos work on it?  |

| No, most games that play on Windows will require a different executable file to run in a Linux box. Typically, that's the only thing that is different between the two. Ubuntu has it's own games, but they are free ones kind of like the free Windows games.You can get an emulator that will allow you to play Windows games in Linux, but I can't imagine that the peformance would be very good. |

| No, they will not. You will need Wine to use these PC games. BUT...You can dual boot if you want to. See urls below help.ubuntu.com |
