Xubuntu/Win7 dual boot crew checking in.
Yes, Windows is terrible, but I find dual-booting it to run EVE and Photoshop justifies it's existence. Even Win7 is ok, it's not really suitable for everyday use or anything really serious, glorified XBOX is all it is.

Hi, I have not seen the debate about Linux etc for the last four years. lol
It was usually followed by - I could fix all the Lag issues etc in (insert desired number of minutes) as I have worked in this area of computing for (insert desired number of years) but I just can't be bothered after a hard day at the office.
It is nice to see this old stuff rehashed again. |

Linux sucks for games : yep
[Linux] has always sucked for games : yep
and [Linux] will always suck for games : what do you use? Tea leaves? Palm reading? Found a reincarnation of Thebes Oracle? Maybe you had a dream?

Nah, I just use that abstract trend-spotting capability built into the human brain. Oh yeah something earth-shattering could happen that will turn linux into the #1 gaming platform.
But...
I doubt it.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. But it can give you a pretty good idea most of the time. |

Really interesting considering that I have played eve exclusively on Linux for several years now. Guess I didn't get the memo sorry about that. |

Even if that's true, that will be rolled back with a service update after the first month. Like with Vista, major news outlets will come down on this so hard. Too bad Linux as a desktop OS is simply not up to the task. Nothing will change.
Anyway, I pay for the software I use, I have a continuous connection.. let them come down on people expecting a free ride. I could care less. |
