xxNathanxx, your computer slow? Well that's what happens when you use a bloatware-ridden capitalist OS that's filled with back doors. Using Windows makes your a n00b automatically. Don't even talk about hacking if you're still on that outdated and limited operating system.

Except he isn't. Pretty sure Nathan uses Scientific Linux, so joke's on you. That, and everything depends on which aspect of the OS you're interested in - there's a number of things Windows does better than Linux and always will.

How do you figure out if someone runs Linux?

Spoiler

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Yup.

The fun part about "Linux Master Race" is that we've been hearing about it pretty much for the last 30 years. They still haven't taken over. ;O;

Anyway, have fun playing games on that GUI-less sandboxed no-fun-allowed machine of yours. Because, you know, you did come to a gaming forum for a reason, right?

Why would he need games on his machine anyways? He doesn't have any spare time in-between of compiling kernels, fooling around with library dependencies and meditating with Guru. Linux is like a Tamagotchi toy - you spend most of the time maintaining it rather than actually playing on it. ;O;

So you're telling me... Linux needs no games because running it IS a game?

If "work" sounds like a fun game to ya, sure.

There are games available for Linux you know, like all source engine games (games like DOTA 2 and Portal 2) as well as a big portion of indie games. Besides, most of the good PC games run okay under wine.

"Okay" being the keyword. And all of the 5 "good" Source Engine games. And "Indie" Games.

GG, GF.

Foxi4,

Good source games:

Portal 1&2
Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
DOTA 2
Half-Life: Source
Half-Life 2 (and episodes)
Team Fortress 2
Left4Dead 1&2
Day of Defeat: Source

Way more than 5, if you count games of same series as independent games.

If you think indie games suck, you haven't been looking every hard.

Once steam machines begin being pushed out, Linux support will rise even more.

From "non-existant" to "poor".

Counter-Strike: Source
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
DOTA 2
Half-Life: Source
Half-Life 2 (and episodes)
Team Fortress 2
Left4Dead 1&2
Day of Defeat: Source

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that we're being literal today. By "5" I meant "not a whole lot".

If you think indie games suck, you haven't been looking every hard.

Not "all of them". Just "most of them".

Actually I'm using openSUSE right now because SL6 couldn't run the latest unstables of Quod Libet anymore (which had things I wanted) and that's almost literally all I use my computer for. Maybe I'll switch back to SL7 when it's out.

Oh puh-lease, we all know that real gamers use Mac OS

Of course they do!

Why do you think Macs and PCs aren't one and the same...oh wait

Mac is good, but only with Cheese. I'll pass on the Apple-flavored variety.

They have apple-flavored Mac n' cheese? Why am I now just learning about this?

Apparently yes.
