More clearly, what do you think of WINE linux? Does this mean I can play any windows game on Ubuntu with WINE? can I also play ps2, n64, and psx emulators with WINE?
Is it worth it for gaming?

No, but some games (warcraft 3 comes to mind from way back) work surprisingly well. Most games you'll be playing the lottery or trying to fix it into a playable state.
Wine is still impressive in that it can run even some directx games fluidly. Fucking google wine and the game your interested in and you'll see the status of play-ability and other users posting useful bits.
Look into GPU pass-through with a VM, much better solution.

Check the games you want to play, some games works natively on Linux, personally like 40% of my steam library works natively

lol no

Not him but what are the requirements for GPU pass through? All I remember is the CPU needs to support it and you need two GPUs, was there anything else? Thinking of doing this with a Ryzen.

Most games work pretty good, usually I just try the game out in wine first if it doesn't have a native gnu/linux version and if it doesn't work I just boot into wangblows

Can I actually work on making a game playable on linux?

You can but those emulators exist natively for the linux so there's no need.
Landon Ortiz
it works for some things, you are much better off using Xen and running a paravirtualised Windows machine using GPU passthru
