Q. I got Steam to work on Linux using Wine. All my games worked just fine for a while, but all of the sudden none of them will run (except Portal for some reason). When i try to open them it says, "Preparing to launch," then does nothing. Does anyone know what the problem is, or how to fix it?
A. You could use a program like WINE (Windows Emulator) to get it going. Or you can try a virtual machine but sometimes that wont load drivers and you still wont be able to play. The best option will be a dual boot of windows and linux. The reason being, that for the sake of stability, for the drivers to work, and for you to get a good performance it is just easier to play on Windows (since all PC games are generally designed for Windows environments).
How do i use a graphical file manager so i can use steam on "Linux"?
Q. So i wan to use steam on my school macbook that i can bring home. But to use programs like steam i have to use linux (works for minecraft). The only way I can use steam on linux is to open it with a graphical file manager (i downloaded muCommander). I don't know how to use one because i don't use linux. I'd love some help.
A. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.
Steam can be installed to Windows or Mac.

File managers can be used for any operating system if one is written for it.
If you are using it on a Linux machine, it seems that they have it in limited beta. You may not be able to participate in this beta version.

What language are cross platform games made in?
Q. Like games you find on steam. Are they in C++? Because you need C++ for the achievements and stuff
A. They are in C++.
You can do a game in C++, using libraries that run over Windows, Linux and Mac and then your C++ games are going to be cross platform.
What happens with a lot of Windows games is that they are made with C++ libraries that haven't being implemented in Linux nor Mac so that games only works on one platform.
Nowadays there are other platforms and other languages, like Android and Java, in Android system(linux) games are developed in Java so they are cross platform too. That's because Java is cross platform.
