Hello, I am from Argentina. My english no is very good, I used the help of Google Translate for the redaction of the present message.

Congratulations on the operating system achieved!
I want to know if it is possible to run Steam and Origin in top condition.

I want to play my games, which are:

- Sim City 4 (Steam)
- Sims 4 (Steam)
- X Plane 10 Global (Steam)
- Fifa 10 (Origin)
- Marvel Heroes 2015 (Steam)
- Bejeweled 3 (Origin)
- Sims 3 (Base, Origin)
- Sims 3 Late Night (Origin)
- Sims 3 Faculty (Origin)
- Sim City 2000 Special Edition (Origin)

Next year Microsoft Flight Simulator X goes on Steam Edition!

I want to go to Zorin OS to replace the use of Windows.

Technical details of the video card in my computer and motherboard:

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz
Mother: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H67MA-USB3-B3 (Socket 1155)
Video (Onboard): SA300 / SA350 (1366x768 @ 60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics (Gigabyte) 1.5 GB memory
 
A big hug to all and happy holidays!

I would advise that you check the Steam website for games they support under GNU/Linux - Steam is present by default on the Ultimate Edition of Zorin 9, both 32-bit and 64-bit. :D

For the time being the only native linux supported platform is Steam.
You can install origin via playOnlinux but I cannot guarantee that everything will be working smoothly.
