I love PC Linux, I wonder if I could install it without any hassle??? Xandros isn’t for me
April 6th, 2010 at 7:33 am
Xandros would have to go. I hate KDE. Ubuntu would be going on that computer, after I play around with the OS that is pre-installed on it.

you actually own a VZ200??? cool! it’s like what… 25 years old now? however. the eee is pretty nice. the linux is perfect. would never put an xp on the eee. sorry for the bad english
April 6th, 2010 at 8:35 am
pft, my VZ200 boots in 2 seconds!

Your use of the sterotypical phrase: “Linux dorks” makes me think you must be some 12 year old fat kid that’s addicted to video games. Even my grandma can install software on Ubuntu.

Call of Duty 2 has gold rating on winedb. It works just like on Windows on my 2.2GHz.

You really can’t run _A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G_. Some stuff you can emulate, but there’s still a lot of stuff that’s glitchy.

faster than my mac
April 6th, 2010 at 11:14 am
sorry about that, i am in fact a computer power user, i am using all kinds of different software all the time and have a quad boot, vista, xp, ubuntu, osx computer.
April 6th, 2010 at 11:53 am
you can run _A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G_ in Linux that you can run in win32 OS’s and MOST of the time its FASTER and FAR MORE STABLE using “wine” and if wine doesn’t work…

I never said Linux sucks. My main computer use is on an Ubuntu partition, and before that, it was Fedora and OpenSUSE. The only reason I have windows on my desktop is to play Call of Duty 2, Crysis, and all of my Lucasarts games, ie: X-Wing alliance, empire at war, and republic commando. I even have a separate pc w/ win98 for all my older games.

OMG ! There some dumbass there! U dont like linux ? fine ! And We all know if ur a PGM U should use windows! but saying that linux sux !!! hahaha ur kidding me. Im sure u dont even know what is a PC except msn or IE 7!!! So dont talk about something u donno; see ya

I’m not a zealot. I’m just saying there are others. Nobody taking perks from MS to dev a dx10 is going to release it for opengl, let alone linux. And chances are high companies like that are prohibited to release for linux for privileges to release on windows or dx. Like I said I’m not fighting, I have a winxp pro gaming partition. But Doom3 and Quake, are pretty heavy duty games. And you should look into xplane, I switched from FS to xplane, it’s way better in my eye.
April 6th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
is that all? of all the games i have NONE of them support linux, the closest is starcraft that supports a mac. Battlefield 2, Half life 2, Flight sim 04, flight sim x, act of war, any of the c&c series, crysis, far cry, armed assault, bf 2142, black and white 2, counter strike, graw, graw 2, gta, lost planet, oblivion, starcraft & brood war, world in conflict. and i have never heard of savage and planet shift, if i googled it right, they are another one of thoes crappy free mmorpgs
April 6th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
anything ID releases nowadays, the rts/fps Savage and its sequel, planeshift is a good one, eve
April 6th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
ok, name some good games?
April 6th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I second that!! The viable part at least. More games are getting bumped to the native list more often.
April 6th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
I run Vista and Ubuntu and XP in dual bootso now ive got something for everything, but Linux is so much faster! But yeh compatibilty is a problem unless you have the expertise to complie and wat hav you!
April 6th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Viable competitor? Are you kidding me? The “average” consumer doesn’t want to sort through 100 stupidly named programs (all starting with K no doubt) to accomplish a simple task.
Write it in stone: Linux fucking sucks.
April 6th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
So stop being a dumbass, drop your anti-linux bullshit, and admit that it’s a viable competitor to windows in general user, and bussiness applications.
Linux does however suck for gaming
April 6th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
The average user has no need to handle their own drivers. I use Ubuntu with little to no need to access the internal guts of linux. I loaded it on my laptop and it worked. That was it.
And more secure =/= perfect security.
April 6th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
their are many different kinds of linux, red hat, mandrake move, exc. so you have to talk about a specific version. not all versions are bad.

Antivirus products exist for Linux for two reasons:
1. In many companies there are corporate policies that mandate use of anti-virus, so Linux users may be required to install anti-virus even though it’s completely unneeded.
2. Back-end mail servers that automatically scan email for viruses often run Linux, so anti-virus programs run on Linux to scan for Windows viruses.
April 6th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
The fact is that there is only one known working virus for Linux. Compare that to the thousands of viruses detected by any AV program and it stands to reason that the vast majority are Windows-only viruses. You asked a question, I answered it.
PS: I’m not a Linux zealot. My computer (which I paid for myself, probably unlike you) runs Windows XP.
