    Does anyone else get that "car crash" feeling with this thread? IE. You don't want to watch, but just can't look away?

    But the power user likes to be able to 
    cat image.img > /dev/fd0
    instead of 
    dd if=image.img of=/dev/fd0
    for example.

    Guys! Here in Omsk 90 out of 100 Windows users even don't know how to reinstall it... cuz everyone is stupid... :)
    But all advanced users here use just Linux or Linux+Windows, like I do...

    Picture this....

    Linux DOES NOT run USEFUL windows programs well AT ALL.

    Thus if you want to play ANY DECENT GAMES OR USE ANY DECENT APPS, then you will have use windows.

    just because linux doesnt have as many known security vulnerabilities doesnt many its more secure. There are probaly numberous amounts of vulnerablities yet to be sought out.

    And besides....how secure is it if you give the source code away so ppl can just read the code to find a hole, instead of actually having to do trial and error to find a hole.

    And I HAVE NEVER even when XP came out had an error every 5/10/60/120 minutes. The first error I had came like a week later when i was messing with something, but that error was caused on my behalf, not window's.
    You obviously haven't tried many games. In fact I have gotten Starcraft and Warcraft III to run in RHL with WINE before.

    Try running some mac platform games on Windows and see what happens...

    I don't see anyone complaining about them!
  • QQ
    The point of WINE is to enable you to do that. If it does... then it's failing.

    Linux + games = Like water and oil

    If you shake them together vigorously, they'll remain mixed for a moment, but then seperate again. :)
    Yeah, so get yourself a linux platform game.
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    Like he just said. Why bother running Linux games on Windows. When Windows has them already + 436363636 more.
  • JoshJosh
    I meant use a linux platform game on LINUX.
  • AnonymousAnonymous
    Okay....here's why....

    BECAUSE LINUX PLATFORM GAMES SUCK!

    The only good one i have found is Enemy Territory, which might I add, runs better in windows.

    Why the fuck would you install linux and expect to run Windows based games on it? (wrong)

    I heard somewhere that most of server games like Q3 and HL are first developed for linux in early development stages...

    Because everyone says you can do it? *cough* WINE *cough*

    But otherwise, because THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO GAMES ON LINUX.


    BUT TOM, W HAT ABOUT TUX RACER?!1 ITS LEET!!!122211232314

    Tux racer is great... this is the first true game I've seen in Linux... :)

    I doubt it, but those have dedicated servers for Linux. Q3 also has a Linux client (as have all id games since Doom).
