rooks37Built a new computer that completely runs on Ubuntu. Nothing of Windows here except for a few applications and games that I've gotten running on the Wine compatibility layer.
Plans for 11th Hazard has been stalled, but in the meantime I've joined San's RPG along with Alex. Aside from a few rough spots, it has been good so far.
Rant:
It ticks me off every time I hear someone say that Linux can never become a gaming platform. The OS is far more efficient then Windows and takes up fewer resources. Valve has proven this much already, and as the drivers for Linux improves, thanks to Valve's pressure, so does performance. Linux performance is already greater then that of Windows on the games they ported over.
Once the gaming masses realize that games get better performance on Linux, I'm not going to be surprised if there is a long overdue exodus from Windows. All it takes is Valve to really emphasize how much better their games are on Linux, and maybe make all future games timed exclusives to Linux.
