GNU/Linux
I'm getting rid of the GNU/Linux crap, you can whine if you want, but NO ONE calls it that anymore. Also if I understand correctly it refers to a very certain type of linux that is based entirely on GNU licensed software. Also I might add more games if I can think of any.--Kristiy80 19:05, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Why?
Because people actually use Linux, and you can actually spend money on games. Why on Earth there isn't a Macintosh page before there was a Linux page, I don't know.

I cut-and-pasted the games from other recommended lists to here that will run natively in Linux, and I added some award-winners. The Simon Tatham puzzles is there because it's free, it's one package that gets you shitload of games that sells a shitload of books at newsstands or B&N or the Apple iPhone store. Hell, it should be on the Freeware Games page too since it runs on Windows too.

Why the 'distros' column?
The majority of linux games will run on the majority of linux distributions. You could near enough type 'all of them' for every entry on this page. Iaminspace 12:51, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, they could all run, if the user is willing to figure out compling from source and debugging any library incompatibilities, or port it from another distro and puzzle out what the package dependcies are. The distros column is for package management systems that make installing the game simple with a few clicks. --Mozai 12:12, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually compiling from source is not that hard (and no I am not some raging neckbeard), also by putting the distro column there it kind of makes it look like they will only run on those distros to a n00b. And on a seperate note that has nothing to do with this, every time I see "GNU/Linux" I want to punch some one in the face.--Kristiy80 18:33, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

WTF?
Where's DOOM and other Id games?
 * Dunno, man. I guess /v/ doesn't talk about them anymore. --Mozai 12:12, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
