Ok so im CONSIDERING switching to a Linux Distro with the x64 arcitecture, probally Ubuntu, as I've had the x86 version and liked it a lot. Now I have a few questions about Linux compared to Windows which might make me change, or might not.
1. If im using x64 and want to run, say, Steam with Counter Strike : Source will WINE be able to run it?
2. Does Linux support the same WoW64 features as Windows, like backwards compatability with 32bit apps.
3. Is x64 stable enough to run as desktop OSand is there any major flaws?
edit: and if anyone knows is M&M Dark Messiah works, please tell =D

) Im going to be running pritty much everything from XP anyway (Games, Multimedia etc) I just want to have a play around with a 64-bit OS and a Linux OS, so both in 1 is fantastic.
