    Good article, except the CS part. CS runs 30-40% fast on Linux than Windows for me. What do you mean about Limited Port?

    you’re right; it’s irrelevant to the gameplay. Lacking the ‘stress video’-feature. Some advanced graphic settings are unavailable on Linux. But it just might be a driver issue..

    I bought every single game that was on sale. I just couldn’t resist!
