I've been using wine for years... but it's not an optimal solution and i was always hoping for the "official client" to get to a level where you could use it just as the windows client... But with them stopping the linux support that hope just vanished... Of course noone used that official client. It was a piece of ****... People were waiting for ccp to release a decent linux client.... Probably wine won't be able to handle ambulation...

Edited by: Alz Shado on 08/02/2009 21:22:56 I stopped using the "official" client once I realized that multitasking with it in Linux was a deathwish
When I play Eve, it's on the windows platform. It doesn't crash if I multitask with the old client, but the premium pack makes it choke.
I can't wait for March 10th. It'll be just like running the official Linux client again, only on Windows (slower and crash-happy) á ----------------------------------------- "Kill a man one is a murderer; kill a million, a conqueror; kill them all, a God." -- Jean Rostand |

Do you have two monitors? I have no problem with running a scout, hauler or salvage alt in one window and my main on the other. But then I play on wine.
It crashes about as often as the native windows client my friends run. Plus I have the problems with sound. (Thanks pulseaudio team, you only set Linux desktop sound support back by about a year.)
However, before PvPing I'd strongly recommend tuning your system. Windows is 'you get what was in the box' unless you buy more, buy more, buy more. Linux lets me tweak a lot of things (see some of the other threads here.)

I run 3 accounts under WINE on Linux and under Parallels on OSX. My little brother (lives with me while I put him through college) runs 2 accounts under WINE almost exclusively.
That's a total of 5 accounts under WINE and 3 also frequently under Parallels on OSX.
This is a TERRIBLE decision, but not entirely surprising since they are a Microsoft shop right down to their choice of SQL server. My work occurs entirely on unix, linux and osx and the only "Windows" I have are as guest instances. I can understand cutting ancient technology as with the "premium lite" decision, but to cut Linux? That doesn't give me much hope for OSX (which is my primary gaming platform for EVE; Linux being my secondary).
I'd just as well play on OSX than Linux at this point, but it is frustrating that they're going to keep one and not the other. THey should be similar enough that it's not a huge pain and even if I'm not doing most of my gaming under linux at the moment, I want that choice.
I understand they don't have the manpower that a Blizzard does for maintaining so many branches, but it's the ability to play on a variety of systems that draws a lot of players to EVE and keeps them here. Not to mention, the same kind of person frequently drawn toward complex games like EVE (spreadsheets -- whoo!) are very often the same type of person who prefers a more powerful OS - be it BSD, Solaris, some flavor of linux, OSX or what have you.
This seems like a very crippling decision. |

I don't think this is a good way to guage the number, most people are just happily playing on Linux without having to come to the "Linx" forum here.
Agreed, theres obviously more the 112.
