Online poker is now available on a variety of operating systems, but you need to understand that there are many scams in online poker, so you need to be very careful about where you play.
Via web browser? Yes and no. Poker 888 used to work this way but it doesn't anymore, I get "ooops! We don't support this device" or something like that. Most installers are either
.exe or .
dmg no .
deb nor .
rpm not even a .
tar.gz and most of the
.exe won't work in wine, if you want to "play poker in Linux" you need to:
1. Use something like VBox or VMware, create a Windows VM and install the poker clients there and deal with the occasional lag.
2. Dual boot Windows-Linux and get full-native support. This sadly is the best option; apps will work faster and better: no lags.
Hmmm... gues nº 2 isn't really playing poker in Linux
I recently started dual booting again because of work, thus I took the opportunity and installed a few poker clients and as much as it pains me to admit, you can't really play poker in Linux, you need windows, I mean, if it's not just a hobby but rather a business for you. If you play just for fun, then Linux it's fine, but if poker is a business for you, then you need windows, otherwise you'll waste money and time.
