You could always get an old PC laptop and make it your DW computer... doesnt take a very powerful one

Well my mac is a modern Air with 16 gig ram and plenty of hard drive space - and VERY light - just hate to have to have a separate machine for one game.

Agree with Longo. Can pick up a cheapie Thinkpad for $70 to $200, depending on which one you get.

This may be a little too late.

After a while in debian stable. I moved to debian testing.
I could not play under linux before, whole system freezed.

Now i can say game is fully playable in debian testing and crashes even less than in windows to me.

It works fine getting the windows version and wine-running it (i'm also using openjdk and patching works well) or via steam.

Try to install lutris if you are having trouble with the installation and wine.
