Games for Linux

Yes, if you want to play GTA5, Watch Dogs and other modern games you have to install Windows(mb on dual boot).

Linux - mostly for work, because almost all servers work on Linux and it is very convenient to have the same environment on your workstation. But it doesn't mean that you can not run games on Linux. You can!

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 16.04 here.

Gamma Issue

Some games are too dark. You can set gamma using

xgamma -gamma 1.5

Where 1.5 - new gamma. By default 1.

Ported Games

Wolf 3D, Spear Of Density

Website http://wolf3d.net/wolf3d/

sudo apt-get install wolf4sdl

Download original wolf3d and spear of density

Copy files

sudo cp -R <Wolf3d folder>/. /usr/share/games/wolf3d/

For Spear Of Density copy all *.SOD files

Rename all files to lower case

cd /usr/share/games/wolf3d/
sudo rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

You should have something like
