Alright, I have a bit of a strange issue. I love the linux OS. It's simple, powerful, and I can do just about anything I need with it. I love choosing a minimalistic distro and just working on building up a system from almost nothing. I also enjoy web design, and a bit of graphics work. I can do all that on linux. I'm not a huge fan of windows, I mean W7 looks nice and all but It's all the same to me. I am much happier on linux, except for the fact that I can't game. I can play WOW, but that's about it. I have a 360 as well but games are expensive for consoles. I play maple a lot, I'm really into it but the grind just kills me and I lose motivation. I really want to wipe windows and move to linux, but should I really? Anyone know any good FPS/MMO's that can run on WINE, that don't suck? I know I'm asking a lot, but opinions are appreciated.

as TRUTH noted above, why not just dual boot? I spend most of my time in OSX, and have Vista just for Maple.

I'd like to quit maple to be honest, but It's hard despite how boring it gets. I have no problems running haloCE and wow via wine, so that can keep me entertained I guess, but I keep finding myself coming back to basil checking on things. Maybe I should learn a programming language, continue with my studies of c++ or start learning php...hmmm
