Eh? 😕
Most Windows games? Is this your point?
So it seems no one has heard of id's Doom or Quake titles, for instance 🙄
Originally posted by BowmannNo Bowmeister, most games don't work on Linux full stop. Many games do work on Linux but the vast majority of games do not run on Linux. Most probably don't even run on Windows.
There you go again, making little sense.
I agree that many games written solely for Windows may not work at all other than under Windows itself.
But if that is what you're trying to say, then you really couldn't have an emptier point!

Originally posted by BridgePlayerOh yea. Gentoo. I've heard positive things about that distro. It compiles specifically for my hardware on installation if I want it too. Right?

So, how do you like it so far? 🙂
Originally posted by stockenInstallation is long and can be a bit complex. I wouldn't reccomend it for a first time linux user, slackware is what I'd reccomnd for that but, once you get it up and running I think its the best distro there is. Plus the emerge command is beautiful.

Originally posted by BowmannHave you been listening? I prefer keeping XP (which works fine) than partitioning my disk.
Eh? Linux is far safer than Windows. Creating a partition is a doddle as Linux recognizes your Windows partition...
Delete all your stuff? Backup/reinstall rampage? Where do you get your ideas from? 😕

Standard response from an ignoramus. Funny how you simply resort to repetition when you fail to understand what's being said, isn't it?
Originally posted by PalynkaYou're missing another point here. It's great for you if you prefer to keep your XP. But this thread isn't really about XP. It's about trying linux. So, if you're really not interested in linux, try staying out of this here thread. 🙂

Originally posted by PaulieI think this is just you and the Bowmeister. Everyone else seems to be a chillin and a hankering after some big time linux fun.
I can see this is just going to end up being a Linux v`s Windows thread.................. again.
I tried it and didn`t like it, simple as that. It`s just a shame all the push and shove has to come into it as usual.
You are allowed to do Windows and we wont make you feel guilty 🙂
