The PlayOnLinux package for UBUNTU is a great help. It actually runs much better using WINE under UBUNTU-MATE than it does on Windows 10 on the same machine. I’m a huge fan of the old Star Trek Armada II game, which runs great on Ubuntu using WINE. Using the WINE facility works much better than VirtualBox, especially for older games written for WinXP and earlier. A friend asked me for advice on this after reading this post. This is an older question, but I’m adding a comment for others that are looking for help. If there’s a right place to ask this whether StackExchange sites or any other site let me know.Ĭheers and I hope those in the same position find a middle ground. I’m aware of the linux client, but most of those games won’t work. I’m merely trying to come back to linux, yet I’m a PC gamer so I can’t throw away Steam. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask. Mouse and Keyboard integration, I’ll be honest, sometimes the mouse integration in Virtual Box is a bit frustrating, mouse cursor disappears, etc.

I’ve never been clear on this but, even if I install the correct drivers on the windows box, will it matter? At least on this part, I’m just curious how it offload.

What I want to know, from those who have tried or seen it: I want to have my main machine with linux, and install windows on a virtual box. Aside from that I sometimes just want to relax and enjoy a game (Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Saints Row: The Third, etc) after hours of research and development. I have a virtual box with Ubuntu set up for development.
