Linux

Hey guys

Just a quick question, does anyone use linux as their os?
If so, will you be able to play the latest games on fedora core 14?

Thanks

I use Linux on a dual boot, running Ubuntu 10.04.1. I haven't gotten any games to work as all the data is on the Win partition,which is unfortunate. However you should be able to get most new games to work under wine. Check the AppDB to see if the game you want to run can be, and what specific instructions you need.

you could also run a windows virtual setup however I'm not sure how that will affect your GPU's performance when it comes to gaming

Used to run Ubuntu, couldn't get games to work. Linux is to much admin, just run Windows 7

Ubuntu can read NTFS, so what do you mean?

OOh eish, I think running games on Vbox would be really bad. If you think about it, you need to allocate enough resources to Linux to be able to run the Vbox in the first place. Then you have to assign enough resources to your Vbox to be able to run the game. That's almost like halving your available resources. Lol, I might be wrong- but it just doesn't seem right
