Silver: your desktop is very ugly. I didn't even wait for it to be loaded completely. =)

purgit: What OS/WM/Software do you use? I can't figure out...

zogo: Even for games Linux is a lot better. Doom3 runs playable on my Duron 1.6 GHz with 256 MB DD-RAM. On Windows, it doesn't even start. =)

capatuy: Posting large pictures directly into the forum is bad. Make a link next time.

Well it started on [email protected] with 256SD-RAM and 64MBGF2MX400 ... it started until it came time to open some kind of a door (I had to wait about ... hmz ... 20 seconds[LOL] and than I saw another one and just deinstalled the game).

Anyway, I really don't want to turn this topic into Windos VS Linux topic. However even my mom can install a game on Windows. It is like Double click>Next>NExt>OK>Finich>Crack(optional)>Enjoy. And it's not the same wan with Linux. I know that because I have tried to install ET and CS on FC4.

Cheers,
B.

I agree. But one more thing: if the game runs natively on Linux, then it's even easier. =) Open the package manager, double-click package, wait.

I think I've seen Doom3 for OS X somewhere.. There are actually much more games for OS X than I imagined.. but games aren't my cup of tea.

Windows, KDE, Gnome, XFCE, ... everything here. Doesn't anybody use FVWM? There are not many FVWM users.

Yeah, I didn't read your comment at first. I recognized it's a Gentoo system by the shell prompt. =D

Another non-Slackware-user. Finally. =P

But more games are created for Win OS. And you can't play some games in Linux. It's GTA SA based on linux to?

That's true, and no, no GTA game is based on Linux. But more and more games are made Linux-portable. For example id Software write all of their games Linux-portable from the first source line on. The Linux-version of Doom 3 was released right after the Windows version. It's still not free though.

Maybe it's true becouse more and more linux is becoming popular becouse Win OS is very expensive to buy linux are free :-) and that fact the gta is based on linux i didn't heard sorry :-)
