    Lots of people comment on this subject pointing out that some games don’t run on Linux, and conclude that Linux is still behind Windows. This fails to recognize a distinct advantage that Linux has: More efficient use of hardware.

    If your system doesn’t have an especially fast SSD or lots of RAM, you might find that Linux gives a better gaming experience. It can often do more with less.

    Edit to add: When I consider the fact that we’re mostly talking about games designed and built just for Windows, I find this really damn impressive. And it just keeps getting better.

    I think you can set the WINEDEBUG=+eventlog environment variable to make Windows Event Log entries appear on stderr (the standard error stream). You can normally see this output if you run Steam from a terminal window. You may be able to redirect it to a file using Steam launch options, but I’ve never tried it.
