Q. My 5 year old's computer runs on Linux OS. Its a Dell computer and can he download any Super Stacker games on it?
A. These seem to all be online flash games. Just install Adobe Flash on the computer (it is probably there already) and load up the page and play the games.
Is it possible to play games on Linux? And if so, where and how do i download and install it?
Q. I have heard that Linux is way better than Windows, but i'm a gamer and i want to know if i can play games and such on Linux.
A. Linux is a better OS than Windows in a large number of ways, but it is NOT a better choice for gamers for at least two reasons.
The first reason is that very few games are written specifically for Linux, and the second reason is that games written for Windows can only be played on Linux if you use a "compatibility layer" such as Wine - these compatibility layers are not 100% foolproof and are not compatible with all games.
If you mainly use your computer for non-gaming purposes, then maybe you could get away with running only Linux and then using Wine for the odd one or two games that you do want to play. If you're a hardcore gamer however, then you should keep Windows as your main gaming OS and then "dual boot" your machine with Linux if you want to try that out.

What is the best version of Linux for a desktop?
Q. I want to upgrade from Windows to Linux, but would like to know what is the best version of Linux to put on a workstation, and why.
A. If you want to play Linux and simplicity is your goal then stick with Ubuntu, Mint, etc. But keep in mind that you will NOT be learning much Linux skills. For example if you are an Ubuntu user you will likely not even know what a terminal session (bash prompt) is.
If you are serious about Linux and want a career then you should go with Fedora, or Centos. Fedora and Centos are essentially RHEL. Almost all businesses use RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). No it is not "cutting edge", etc. No it is not "game friendly" or any of that. But it is what the employers use.
If you seek to get a "Linux+" or other professional certification then you will have to learn a real Linux like RHEL or Novel/SUSE. Mint and Ubuntu do things very differently.
