Other than my work laptop (which is XP), my computers at home run Ubuntu (Edgy+Beryl), FreeBSD, and OSX (two G4 PowerBooks).

If I wasn't chained to M3 Game Manager, I wouldn't use XP outside of work.

Until someone gives me an OS that can work well for games and video (as in as good or better than) I will stick with MS, if it matters I have PCDOS on an old junk 486 I built a few months back.

Gambia, The
a lot of people seem to try ubuntu recently. I had to install Linux for Uni anyways... My notebook currently runs dual boot xp and Edgy. That way I can boot to windows for the odd programms, and do my work in an environment with less games installed. Doesn't prevent from surfing the web instead of doing work though

I use Ubuntu on my Desktop and Zenwalk on my laptop. Does any of you have experiences with using flashcards on linux?

I run Linux on a flashcard...

I have a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 Which has both SD and CF slots.

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    @SylverReZ, i think they have been doing that since late 2000s

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
