Few games are compatible with GNU/Linux at the moment and it certainly is a factor preventing the migration to this system. PlayOnLinux brings a cost-free, accessible and efficient solution to this problem. PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its features yet it keeps the user from having to deal with its complexity. Not all games are supported. Nevertheless, you can use our manual installation module.
