Windows or Linux?
« on: December 08, 2007, 08:32:33 PM »
I'm curious.  How many of you use Linux for playing and how many use Windows?  And I don't mean hosting servers, just playing.

Linux i think is better for ppl who want total control over the comp and also for performance windows is for basically everything Linux isn't

I'm currently running on Win-XP, so far so good.

However, this video makes me want to get Linux:
Windows Vista vs Linux Ubuntu Beryl

Hopefully the link works.

Yea, I can't wait till the Linux build is released.  Hopefully the 1440x900 screen resolution bug will be fixed too.

In theory it should be.  Unfortunately the my linux install automagically hosed itself again, so I can't even get the game to run.

Make sure you give them game 4hrs to start up the first time around on Linux.  I heard that pressing your keys and moving your mouse might speed this process up ;)

Windows.

My main turnoff about linux was that I wasnt able to install the video card drivers.

Thats the only issue I ran into with my desktop.  It was straightened out though.  My laptop on the other hand... I need to find some good software for managing the WiFi in Gnome.
