From part 1:
With the release of Linux Mint 18.2 last weekend and the update to my Linux Mint beginner's guide today, it's time for another "Try Linux" giveaway :)
It's a great time to use Linux; it's easier to use and better supported than ever, with more & more games now coming to Linux. And as the Linux userbase grows so does the incentive for manufacturers and developers to support it, leading to even better support as time goes on.
Wine has also been seeing huge improvements, allowing many more Windows-only games and other software to run on Linux. Front-ends for Wine such as and [url=https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-linux]CrossOver make it a lot easier to use as well. And then there are projects such as vv221's project and [url=https://www.gog.com/mix/adamhms_linux_wine_wrappers]my own Wine wrapper scripts to make things even easier for select games :)
So, if anyone's even a little curious about Linux I invite you to take a look at the guide and consider trying it: The "Try Linux" Repost/Rewrite (a "beginner's guide")

To enter, you just need to post here listing the games you want in order of preference. The giveaway is open to everyone, subject to the rules below - using or trying Linux is encouraged, but not a requirement in any way. Feel free to enter for as many prizes as you're interested in; only one prize can be awarded per winner.
This giveaway will run until Friday 21st July at 18:00 UTC. Due to problems with downrepping in previous giveaways, the winners will *not* be publicly revealed unless they decide to do so themselves.
Remember to change your account settings to allow conversations with all users, otherwise I will not be able to send you the key if you win anything: https://www.gog.com/account/settings/privacy
Rules:
- No rep requirement but I reserve the right to disqualify entries at my discretion.
- Winners will be selected randomly after the giveaway ends
- Each winner will receive one prize - whichever of the remaining prizes is their most preferred.
- Please only enter for games that you don't already have (entering to replace retail copies of older games is ok though).
- Please only enter for games that your system can run.
- Please only enter for games that you're interested in, intend to play & won't just let rot in a backlog.
- Keys are for your own use only/not to be traded (except for leftovers from multi-game keys which may be re-gifted but not traded)
- Anything not redeemed within one week after being awarded will either be given to another entrant or reused for a future giveaway.
