Hey, really don't want to keep having to switch over to Windows 7 for games and I've tried to run it through 'PlayOnLinux' but it is horribly sluggish and crashes and nothing works.
PlayOnLinux is just a frontend to WINE. WINE is the only way of running Steam on Linux, there's no native copy for Linux.
Terminal: [code]sudo apt-get install wine[/code] Answer "y" to the question. When Wine installs, move/install Steam to your ~/home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:/ directory. Run the .exe as normal.
