http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have recently installed Ubuntu 12.10. With about an hour or so i finally got the Steam Linux beta up and running, and i even got to play a few games. But im wondering if its possible to install the Windows only games using Wine on the native version of steam, instead of installing another steam through Wine. I would greatly appreciate some help. :confused: (Hardware)

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here so bare with me. I'm also going to post this on the Wine boards but i figured I'd see if I could get a response out of Fedora folks first :)

I'm not sure how to title the question so please excuse the title if I have entered a misleading title. First off, I recently bought Portal 1&2 in Steam. I was able to open Steam in Wine (don't know why but Steam for Linux is all messed up, everything looks off and says "Not avalivle in your country" or something.) no troubles at all.
