adamhm: A similar "beginner's guide" for Windows (and probably for OSX too) would be about the same.

Also it could be worse. Imagine having to learn how to use Windows 95 with this horror: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGYcNcFhctc

(also as I said in the OP you don't need to try/use Linux to enter)
You're probably right. Maybe I'll have another look at it when I'm a little more awake.
the only reason that I don't switch to linux is games

but I have a ubuntu usb boot stick,that I occasionaly use for work.

thank you for the guides and the huge giveaway :)

I'm in for :
Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition
Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
Shadowrun Returns

In order of preference

Thanks again,and +1! :D
I switched to Linux ~3 months ago, and I've been a very happy Arch user ever since! I knew about Wine before, but it absolutely blew my mind when many of my windows-only games ran flawlessly.

I'm in for:

Hotline Miami
Victor Vran


And you're awesome for promoting Linux :)

If I have Linux Mint on sda5 and Windows 7 on sda1 and I want to replace, win with Ubuntu, how should I proceed in order to be able, after the Ubuntu install, to dual boot between Mint and Ubuntu - install Ubuntu + its boot loader and hope it will detect Mint or is there a way for the grub, that Mint installed, to auto pick up the new Ubuntu, if I don't install a boot loader during the Ubuntu install?

I'm always hesitant to mess with files on my pc because Murphy, his Law and I are very good friends. I've had to rebuild a previous pc once before and it was not fun so since then I play it safe pretty much.

May I enter for Hard West, Shadowrun Hong Kong and Pillars of Eternity?
This is a very nice giveaway and good luck to all (especially me lol). Thank you.

Both can work.
Just make sure that the package 'os-prober' is installed on the system that generates the GRUB you will be using.

I've Downloaded Linux Mint 17.3 over the weekend, and burned it to DVD tonight, currently booted on the Live DVD think of installing it, but a bit hesitant :D
Ordered from most to least desired, I'd like to enter for Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition, Transistor, or Shadowrun: Hong Kong.

...though I'm not really sure if I'm the target of this giveaway, since I'm already a big enough Linux user (exclusively since 2005) that I need no incentive and, instead, get others to try it these days:

1. My mother uses Lubuntu exclusively

2. One of my younger brothers dual-boots between Windows 7 and Kubuntu with a preference for statying in Linux despite being half artist, half gamer.

3. My other brother is interested in dual-booting next time he has time to reinstall his machine

4. When time permits, I refurbish old (mobo can't take more than 2GiB RAM) PCs with Lubuntu, print out a Getting Started guide of my own design, and donate them to the needy. (The guide is slightly out of date at the moment because I've been so busy over the last six months preparing to graduate.)
