Which Linux OS?

[ellis2014]

I was thinking of using a Linux OS, wuld i be able to play TitanFall, Battlefield 3 and 4, COD and Cs:Go and if so which is the best linux for gaming.

I would recommend Ubuntu, because it is the most popular and the design is very good. You could also try SteamOS, but it does not look very good in my opinion.

Sorry I forgot to mention that you can download WINE (https://www.winehq.org/) which will let you run Windows applications on Linux

Those games are not natively supported by Linux OS, as far as I know... but it is possible that those games could be run through WINE.

Also, I think most Linux distros would be sufficient for gaming with, but there is a particular Linux distro known as PlayLinux which is optimized specifically for gaming. I would look into that.

EDIT:

Happy gaming!
Cheers.

I don't think you would actually be able to run any of this game on Linux, all are DirectX based which is not natively supported under Linux.
There is something like WineHQ but i seriously doubt it could handle any of this.

My personal preference these days is MINT. Its based off Ubuntu so it still has all the support of ubuntu.

Careful with Wine too, as I've run into a situation where a windows virus was able to mess up a Linux install thanks to Wine. Ever since then I don't use Wine if there are any Linux alternatives, which there almost always is. Also not just everything is install and play in Wine, something's are finicky.

Frankly though if you want to play the latest Windows games you really should just use Windows.
