I have a Left 4 Dead 2 Windows installer in exe. My other games were installed by "PlayOnLinux" app, but there is no L4D2 version, or any sign that it will be avaliable in the future. I also didn't find any ubuntu or even linux distribution of this game, although i know the tests were made.

So how to install it on Ubuntu with exe installer? Will Wine be just fine?

    L4D2 has a [native Linux version](http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/) that I encourage you to try instead of going through Wine. – David Foerster Apr 22 '16 at 14:34

Will Wine be just fine?

Depending on the software you want to run, sometimes you as well need the package winetricks

Check the wine documentation for the game: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10546

There seem to be two basic ways of getting things to work. With steam and without steam. For the steam-version there is a Gold and a Platinum Test for Ubuntu, so it should run fine.

Left 4 Dead 2 is out for Linux on steam? The native version performs really well, and is far easier to use than to try to use the windows version in wine.
