Im just wondering if it works at all. Has anyone tried it? I cant run linux anymore because the newest versions dont work with my ACPI or something like that (which is silly because my pc is new).

Lugnut plays BL on WINE.
TomTom's servers run on WINE.

Both seem to work okay.

v21 works perfectly through Wine on Ubuntu 12.04 for me. On an average-quality laptop I had standing around somewhere I wasn't using I got 60 fps in average.

Dedicated servers work fine on ubuntu 12.04 + Wine 1.5.10
The 2 I'm running now haven't crashed, and the 3rd one just isn't in use.

...uses quite a bit of CPU though. :s

Is there any particular reason why it wouldn't work?

Because Linux isn't really meant to be a desktop operating system.

Linux is a great operating system but it doesn't have the mainstream driver and software support it needs to actually be useful for day-to-day use. Yeah it's nice that there's a lot of free software, but most of the software is just people's personal projects and testbeds. Certain distros might work well for a netbook, but otherwise Linux should stay on servers where it's stability, security and multi-user architecture really shines.

to say it's not meant to be a desktop operating system is pretty stupid
