Linux may not be compatable with most games, but you can admit it is a great software! I have been trying to get automation on my computer which uses linux and it is not working.

The best solution is to use a virtualized instance of Windows, but there two major issues:
1)it’s not a free (bot as in “free speech” and as in “free beer”) solution
2)you will need a pretty tough CPU

Another possible solution is using WINE, that is a set of compatibility libraries for Windows application (but NOT a full Windows emulator). Needed specs are much lower (as you do not need to emulate the full OS), but configuration is kinda pain in the @$$ sometimes. You can also try Playonlinux, that is a videogame-oriented custom version of WINE.
