Comment on Half-Life 2 released for Steam on Linuxparent

There's a big gap between "can be made to run under wine by following a recipe someone posted to appdb.winehq.org" and "click on Download, then Plan".

I fiddle with messy integration issues on embedded Linux and Android professionally, and am about as qualified as anyone could be to make that work. I never once bothered trying to get wine running. I installed Portal last week without a moment's thought.

Just use PlayOnLinux. It makes handling of wine configuration very easy and automatic.
