From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I accept that the powers-that-be don't want me to do it, I understand that the foolproof user experience is to just play a game made for windows on windows, but if that's how we lived, none of us would be gaming on linux in the first place.
Outside of the download/update of a game, the files should be read only. As long as the files have the right data in them for a given OS, and the OS has proper support to read the files, then I should be able to load them and execute them. Any little permissions or metadata quirk that prevents that from happening is a bug as far as I'm concerned.
