clarry: Two out of the three major video card manufacturers actually provide the open source driver. NVidia is the black sheep. Do you actually care for tickets from people not running one of the blessed distros?

Counting graphics circuits, they probably have a larger install base than both AMD and Nvidia combined, but they don't produce separate graphics cards. Maybe Matrox? Then there are a bunch of them designing/producing GPUs for mobile and embedded devices, such as Vivante, ARM, PowerVR, and Qualcomm.

Oh right. The last resort.

Hmmm, I will have to ask our Support team about that as I personally don't know the rule about unsupported distros.

haaliquan: Fortunately, I'm not talking about a given title, since I haven't suffered by system incompatibility by the moment. I just had too ask because there's still a lack of Linux games in the store and, well, money is money. By the way, I'm gonna take a look at these porting solutions if I come to have trouble.
If you don't mention the title, the question makes no sense.

I use only Linux and quite a lot of titles I bought are Windows-only. They all run in Wine good/perfectly.

So it's been mentioned here before by a lot of people, but don't expect GOG to issue you a refund for trying to run games on unsupported hardware, let alone an entirely different platform through your own installation of WINE.

That being said, if you have a particular game or games in mind, there's a good support network here of people who can help you make an informed decision about buying a game to use in WINE.

For me, I'm a Mac gamer, but I play the majority of my game purchases as Windows games in WINE.
