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

ok, so far great, you sound open minded and enquisitive, and best of all you sound positive, however:

if you do not see that linux is at many higher levels than any of microsoft's offerings in many areas then you have already missed the boat.
i don't have time to explain the whole situation in full sadly, but i am sure other people will. don't take any criticism people might have to heart but do realise that saying things which imply that windows sucks less than linux is like daring a madman with a paintgun to shoot you in the eyes.
welcome to the forums btw.

If you get a program called winex then you can run some windows games in linux. This program costs money. So I suggest you download a P2P program called emule and search for winex.

I thought we didn't encourage warez on these boards.

No; a lot of people on these boards advocate actually paying for the privilege of having their rights restricted through the purchase of proprietary software.

You don't have to mindlessly abide by their "policy". Yes; discourage the use of proprietary software in all circumstances, but don't ever discourage copying because the law says it's wrong.

Actually, a lot of people on these boards advocate giving developpers the priviledge of making a living. And how can you be restricted when you never had the right in the first place?

But because the law says it is wrong to kill, we should ignore such a stupid rule, right? :rolleyes:

So you are saying every law is right? I believe there was a thread about stupid laws. It's wrong for my friend to go into colville (a city on the other side of the state) without ringing a bell up and down the streets declaring his arrival, because he's black. It's wrong for anyone under 18 to own something. It's wrong to carry a license and a permit (2 forms of ID are required in a lot of places). It's wrong to carry a gun without a permit (very stupid law, very debatable). Because the law says so?
There are good laws and there are bad laws. I'm against mass producing something that the author said "dont do that" on. But that statement about murder was just dumb.
no offense or anything.
edit:
And it is NOT wrong to kill. It is wrong to murder.
