    Frozen bubble, CDemu (though mounting an iso is pretty easy in linux), i use google chrome with wine, and Amarok for mp3s and some support for older ipods.

    What distro of ubuntu did you get?

    I've got to say it. But if you want gaming on your computer you should be running windows. You can get some games to run in linux but the big kicker is linux doesn't natively support full directx so that's a huge stumbling block.
