And I believe Linux is superior in gaming than Windows. Almost all real Linux portations run faster than their Windows counterparts. However since most games dont have native Linux support, they run slower, with glitchs or even not all, because of Wine/Cedega translation *tries to avoid using "emulation"*. And I believe SDL is a good alterntive to the oversized DirectX.

PS: yes, I am using WinXP for gaming as well, but not because it is better, rather because its easier and more compatible to most games Wink

Well, Linux may be good for some stuff, but I've used Windows for a lot of time, and Linux never... maybe I'll install a linux... in a future....

Windows is better for games, because 70%-80% of the games don't work on Linux...

I'm using ubuntu right now. I'd encourage anyone who is willing to try Linux to start with a distro and maybe dual boot and learn about it. You might never go back...

I use Windows because I can play games on it and there are more programs that run on windows. However i've installed linux lately and I have to admit it's the best thing for internet. It's fast and stable

Where is the poll?

I'm using Windows... ah, yes... crap it is.

Linux is superior to windows in terms of security and stability. Eventually I will convert full time to it but as various apps and games are more or less written for the windows platform then i will have to stay with windows for the meantime.

Hopefully more game developers start writing games for linux.

In my experience on Operating Systems, I would say that, here in the Philippines, the mostly used OS is the Windows OS because of it's popularity over Linux. When it comes to gaming, windows are used.

I use Windows for gaming.. Linux for all other stuffs. Smile

One of the major roadblocks for Unix was the lack of one single standardized platform for applications. Linux seems to be following along the same line, although on a different parallel. To compete head-to-head with Microsoft, Linux advocates should standardize the platform. -A. Russell Jones

I`ll never understand these thing ,why are people afraid to learn something.

You won`t have a nice shiny graphical user interface (GUI) if your windows stopes working ,what will you do then?call an "expert" ,that`s what everyone does.

I don`t say that everybody should use unix based Operating System (OS) ,but I don`t like people saying what a bad thing is the evil CLI ,and that everything should be graphic and easy.Sure there are places where user friendlynes is important ,but there are places when the best think is to be non-user friendly.

*applauds* plus, dosen't phoenix hosting require some command line knoledge to work, what with ssh and all that. I don't know much command-line myself, but that don't mean I can't try, which most of us should. Very Happy

IMHO
