Linux, games, and Windows question. Which OS is used by gamers usually? Windows? I am thinking of switching to Linux, but I am wondering if I can still play games on it, like Halo. I read that an emulator is needed. Would you guys just recommend using Windows...

of game for linux: Games that have a native version, games that will run to some degree via wine or cedega, and games that do neither. As far as I am aware, the last category is a pretty small one now as a lot of games for windows will run on wine. To see...

the best. Still others run Linux because the games that they want to play are able to be played with that OS. I don't know that there is any easy way to answer the question. I use Windows XP now, for most of my gaming, but I do have a Windows 98SE system...

touched Linux again. One other thing that I have noticed is that while a lot of games may not natively support Linux....a lot of 'multiplayer' style games have Dedicated Server files for BOTH Windows or Linux.... So while you may play the game in Windows,...

the 2% of the population using LINUX for gaming. Well in that case get the GF8600GT, cause you won't be playing any stressful games until you upgrade again and Carmack brings out his next engine, so you might as well get the good looking 2D of the GF8600. PS,...

system to determine if it's worth the company's likely asking prices.. Linux is not Windows. Asking this question is like asking, can I run a supercharger V10 with a moped's fuel mix? Linux has games; you don't buy them in stores, you just download them....
