Greeting Linux folks

Hello all...

I am new to the Linux world because like everyone else I am tired of Windows dodgy instability and ability to catch viruses to render your computer useless till a reformat.

I am using the latest Zorin 5 OS And have to say...as a media machine it is AMAZING. It used my 5.1 and my video flawlessly. I am very impressed with every feature i have found so far.

My problem of course lies where many other migrants lies i am sure. How to get my games to play. I am looking for a guide on how to accomplish this. Preferabvly without using terminal commands.

I am afraid if i have to resort to terminal commands i will be forced to reinstall Windows until I can afford a Mac. Zorin is an OS I would EASILY pay for if it were more user friendly.

Thanks for your time and helping out yet another beginner :-)
