How to install Grand Theft Auto V on Linux (Ubuntu x64 14.04) using wine.

Date Completed: Not done yet ~~ April 23rd 2015

My Test System

Video Card: Nvidia GTX 465 (lol right? Game runs shitty)
Driver: tested on 331.38, works on 331.38+
OS: Ubuntu x64 14.04
POL: I used Play on linux 4, I assume most of the capabilities are in winetricks
Wine: wine-staging Sun, 19 Apr 2015 version 1.7.41 x64 bit

There are certain files created by particular editors, IDEs, operating systems, etc., that do not belong in a repository. But adding system-specific files to the repo's .gitignore is considered a poor practice. This file should only exclude files and directories that are a part of the package that should not be versioned (such as the node_modules directory) as well as files that are generated (and regenerated) as artifacts of a build process.

All other files should be in your own global gitignore file:

Create a file called .gitignore in your home directory and add any filepath patterns you want to ignore.
Tell git where your global gitignore file is.

Note: The specific name and path you choose aren't important as long as you configure git to find it, as shown below. You could substitute .config/git/ignore for .gitignore in your home directory, if you prefer.

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

-crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
-b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

Install ChromiumOS

Get Chromium OS from one of the following places
1. Download the vanilla build (old but stable): http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/
  1. NOTE: Password is facepunch
2. Download the nightly build (sync doesn't work): http://download-chromiumos.appspot.com/
  1. NOTE: If you want developer mode, you must change _base_ in the download URL to _test_ as the base image does not have developer tools enabled
  2. NOTE: Password is unknown, instructions for working around this are provided later
  3. NOTE: I could not get syncing working with this build, perhaps due to no API KEYS being provided???
NOTE: I could not move past the welcome screen on the 64bit build due to no network being found (32bit worked)
