Top games frequently asked interview questions
I make gaming videos and recently installed Ubuntu and I haven't been able to find a good screen recorder for gaming. Are there any recommendations (preferably free ones) that can record in HD, use multiple audio sources (i.e. Headset and computer sound), and is in the Ubuntu Software Center? If it's not in the software center I still might get it, just preferably in the software center. I've already tried Kazam Screencaster and RecordMyDesktop, but they didn't work out for me. Thanks guys!

I just bought a game called Limbo in Humble Bundle V. The site says that all games are cross-platform but in my computer the game has no sound. I've searched in google and looked in the official FAQ, but none of them helped me.
How can I fix this?

I'm about to install wine on my new ubuntu 10.10 installation, however I can't determaine if I should install Wine or PlayOnLinux. I've already read over the following page http://wiki.winehq.org/PlayOnLinux, however the differences are not very clear and I don't understand if I just have to install Wine or both or just PlayOnLinux.
Also could someone tell me if PlayOnLinux is an add-on for Wine or not? If it is then it would certainly clear a lot for me. And do I need winetricks?

Is it legal to make an open-source version of a closed-source game (and expansion pack) to distribute to other users? I want to do that for an old game called Age of Empires 2.

Does anyone know if there are games for Ubuntu server (like tetris, etc...)?
I know that servers aren't meant for playing games, but sometimes it would be nice to have a little fun . . . not only work on them :)

Been trying over and over, but nothing happens. Tried reinstalling Steam along with Ubuntu but that didn't do anything either. Tried other forums with helpful tips but no good. I'm running out of ideas and I don't know what else I can do. Can someone please help me before I start pulling my hair out? I'm going mad.

It seems to me learning how to use the terminal is a prerequisite to learning how to use Ubuntu. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to learn. Is there a Quizlet online flash card set out there? A better way?

Even though I have the latest Adobe Flash player 11.2 for Linux in Firefox -
ref: Flash player security doubts - a particular online flash game still requests that I update to the latest flash player.
I've tried this online game on my laptop (Windows 8 with Flash Player 11.8) and it has no problems.
Is there a way to trick Ubuntu or this game into thinking Flash Player 11.8 is "installed"?
