Also when there are issues with Windows I'll probably find at least a few people who have had the same problem and know how to fix it. Cool story bra. If you even fail at finding the menu for the display settings and think you have to do something on the cli then I doubt very much that Linux or the desktop environment you used was the problem. I hope you stay on Windows, I would hate it if the "fix my printer" crowd switches over.

CCP would need to recode the engine in openGL to truly benefit from Linux and with the dx11 announcement this seems very unlikely. In other news got Eve running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS no probs just get some slowdown with certain SFX. I don't see any problem with using wine as a DX translator. I don't think a rewrite of the engine would be justified for the small performance improvement that could potentially be gained even if there was a significant amount of EVE players on Linux (which there isn't). Even Valve uses a translation layer to port their DX only games (there is some video on youtube where they talk a bit more in detail about this).

The reality is it runs on Wine which runs on Linux for a substantial drop is performance and a significant upswing in headaches. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. But I, and many others, know better. It runs perfectly with my 7 year old computer (graphicscard was updated 4 years ago) so the performance drop can't be too bad. And with PlayOnLinux the installation is as easy as klicking a button

And with PlayOnLinux the installation is as easy as klicking a button Why are you still using a 7 year old computer? That's like 150 in computer years. And don't say because you're poor, because I'm poor, and even I can update my computer every few years. I'd consider 5 years the absolute maximum for a viable computer lifetime if it has decent parts at the time of purchase. Less, if has worse than average components to start with. Look, i'm ******* drunk, I just came home from an epic beer annihilation fest. However, I try to introduce you to a little secrete. I use a minimal window manager (awesome... no, it has nothing to do with "CCP awesome, it's the name of the window manager and it is appropriate). It just **** works, I can organize my workflow in a way you can *** dream of. It is perfect. Every time I work one a machine without it I feel like i'am in a *** straight jacket or something. It uses no resources and if I launch EVE over wine it gets every ***** CPU cycle it needs. I will upgrade my hardware if I need more power to play EVE or any other game I like to play. This is not the case at the moment, everything runs perfectly fine, like it did 7 years ago. If your operating system forces you to think otherwise, maybe the problem isn't the hardware.
