Hello all,

I have a few questions about Linux.

First off, i love to play the latest games on pc. Is Linux ever going to have a feature where you can play the latest games easily?

Also, im fed up with Microsoft, but the reasons im not switching are because of game problems and Linux is hard to learn. Im just wondering if Linux will eer step up to a higher level (when) Microsoft dies.

Im sorry say it but you've set yourself up for some really hostile posts

let the games begin

mushrooomprince:
The only reason Linux does not support many games is because many game developers don't make games for Linux.  Theres nothing wrong with the os or the people who make it.  The problem is with the people who make the games.


Right now less than 10% of home users run Linux.  Right now our goal is to get more home users to switch to Linux or Mac.  The more people switch the more pressure there will be to make games for Linux.

I though this has been asked and answered before???

my answer to that would be to get a games console, that's what there for?

However there are games on *nixes, but admittedly there tends to be less 'big' game development done than on the Wintel platform. This will change.  Depends what you're after though doesn't it.

Here's some links:

LG

LG II

If you want something specific, I suggest you Google it.

Also don't assume that Linux is going to be 'hard' and in terms of Linux steping up to a higher level, it left Window$ in the dust years ago.

Hope this helps

thanks everyone, but im still kind of confused.
 
I have heard that Linux on the desktop is close to being a mass market option and could unseat MacOS as the second operating system of choice.

Well, lets say it did... im not saying that there is a problem with Linux but i dont like the lack of software support for it. Im just saying, is it possible for Linux to have all the features of Windows, without the crashing, even though its just a kernel?
