Ditch GNOME, emulators suck. Try WINE.

Gnome is a desktop environment. If you like the kind of windoze-esque interface, use KDE.

Why are you using wine? Why don't you just find the great open source alternatives that you can run faster without emulation? I like to see you're using gnome but why in god's name did you choose to use Fedora? It isn't even a real distro.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

You take a screenshot of it (print screen button, upper right), go into ms paint, paste it, save it, host it, post it.

  Because windows crashed and my friend had the disks laying around, and I dont have a windows CD.  And find me an open source alternative to steam and I will stop using emulators.
