    OP I'm a long time Ubuntu user and agree with poster 2 about game performance in Ubuntu via the wine application - you're better off dual booting Windows and Unbuntu.  I use Ubuntu for everything but syncing my iphone and playing games which I use Win XP for.

    Ubtunbu has the Wubi function which allows you to install the OS from inside windows like a regular program, I recommend going to the Ubuntu forums to see the best way to dual boot Windows 7\Unbuntu since they'll have the most up to date information. http://ubuntuforums.org/

I personally don't care about EA's views on Linux with regard to their games. Point is Origin is a digital games distribution platform, period. Not just for EA games but for all games these days, and the funny thing is that most of the third party titles on Origin have full Linux support. Most of them I'd rather buy on Steam or GOG than Origin because I'm essentially getting robbed of choice with Origin.

Anothering thing I don't get is the fact that Origin is built on top of Qt and WebKit which are fully cross-platform open source projects. Yet they can't build to Linux along with Windows and MacOS? Makes no sense.

Linux is the best. I really would like EA release its game on Linux!
