Linux is pretty amazing..but damn all the programs that are not compatible with it. -- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 10:00 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 Quote: from AestheticRomance at 9:57 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 Wow, recognizing that name immediately ... bleck.

If my picture program ran on linux & if gaim or any other linux version of msn worked there... oh yeah...  I'd never touch windows again. Well, Linux has the GIMP and Pidgin... -- Posted by shadowpool at 10:21 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 Wine is also developing at a very good pace.  I can run Counter Strike Source with good frame rates on a Radeon 9800, A64 3500, Ubuntu box.  I'm hopeful that Linux will eventually run all Windows programs better than Windows does.  :P   -- Posted by warcrack at 10:33 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 I use Linux everyday, It's my main OS. I've never touched windows in over 3 years. Surprisingly, even though it isn't supported. My games run perfect in WINE. WoW, CS, Call Of Duty. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 11:04 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 Quote: from shadowpool at 12:21 am on Jan. 14, 2008 Wine is also developing at a very good pace.

Also, the way it runs, just like windows can depend on your specs. If your popping a whopping 20fps in WoW, like I do on my shitty machine, the numbers where up to par. My new machine, which kicks major ass runs it flawlessly. AMD X2 5000+ 2Gigs of ram 8800 gt. Yuh!
