As for Office, LibreOffice is quite good, and it comes in a Windows version, so you can try it out before you make the OS switch.
There are quite a few games available on Linux--including Steam. I use Wine to run the one or two Windows games I like (Civilization, mainly), and Wine usually comes with the distro's repository, so you can install it with a single command.
I appreciate the info. I used an early iteration of Wine years ago and it sucked pretty bad; is the newer flavor ok? I have a love-hate relationship with winblows... love the applications, hate the OS.
Any idea what’s up with CentOS?
Wanted to test it out, but it seems to be gone now :/
