So heres the deal, I want to exclusively run Ubuntu on my laptop. Ive considered dual booting, and will use it as a last resort. But I like having everything in one place. I know it is possible to play Simcity 4 Deluxe on linux, using software called wine. But I would like to know if anyone has had any success with it. Also my biggest concern is being able to download files for the game(buildings, regions, Nam, etc.) I know all of these files are meant to be used with windows, so what I would like to know is, is it possible to download and use the files off of the stex on linux? And if so, how can a accomplish this;) Please be gentle if there is already a post on this somewhere else, I did some searching and couldnt come up with anything. Im not very computer savvy, so if you could explain the process to me as you would explain the birds and the bees to a teenager that would be much appreciated!! Thanks again everyone!
