havent really found it useful...have tried couple of trials..without much of a success
pure wine or playonlinux seem to work better.

seems crossover is more focused on mac stuff...

bought it but the linux version is poorly made once again.
no way to change resolution or graphical settings.. locks to 1024x768 windowed.

windows version works fine with wine tho and can change resolution ang graphics quality settings.
its a pitty to play it through wine if it has a native client tho:(

More games coming to Linux (via Steam)

my personal preference is nixinstaller or mojosetup ... i hate to have prop software(including steam) installed to my root (/) partion which is done via rpms/debs.
those installers let me choose where i want to install them and in my case im using /home on different hdd so i can install the games/steam to $HOME/Games
but its a matter of personal preference i guess.

i dont remember having troubles with mojosetup tho.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 5500"Yeah, PA has been fairly amazing for some time now, it works pretty much flawlessly for me (except for Skype...). I just hope that at some point I will be able to Alt+Tab my way out of games and easily change volume.

no problems with skype either for me.
and alt+tab also mostly works...well some games not..then i use alt+ctrl+D or printscreen button to bring up screenshot dialog and then switch workspaces.
yeah...nasty ways tho...but most games alt+tab or alt+ctrl+ arrow keys(to switch workspaces) work fine

also..some games have ctrl+G to ungrab mouse..some games u can bring up the console to loose focus..etc

pulseaudio has been working for me for years...used to be pretty bad about 3 years ago but no problems lately.
love the ability to control the volume levels of each app separately
