    I believe you were looking for this:

    The reality is Steam offers something not yet available on linux AAA games, even if out of date so far. You don't have to use it, and you can avoid distros that package it even, but it exists for those who want to use it.

    Please make use of a search engine and your pair of brains.

    Here's been your deb for a while: http://www.playdeb.net/software/megaglest

    The Linux installer installs to your /home. The fact that it won't ask for administrative rights could tell you something.

    Sonic? The Open Sonic project is looking very good these days, I'd just add the PlayDeb repos as well as their sister repo GetDeb as well as add the official WINE repo just to make sure I have the latest version for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

    As for Starcraft,there are a few RTS projects in the same vein, but Blizzard titles work pretty damn well in WINE.

    Linux gaming is still in it's infancy, things may change in the future with the advent of the AMD backed open source driver projects, but they are at minimum 2 years behind implementation of OpenGL due to the fact that everything had to be redone to be able to use the never versions of OGL/GLSL/ES.

    The zealotous coding gods of GPL will likely be bored if they where to catch up with spec and declare a year of game development.
