[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 893511, member: 199791"] And all the popular games made for Windows? I can bet you that when the PC version of GTA5 comes out (soon, not far off now, a year after the console version came out), there's naff all chance of it ever working under Linux... :-rofl2 For day to day nobbling about on the web, yeah, Linux is an alternative for sure, but, for those of us who actually [I]use[/I] our computers, then it's either too fiddly and buggy to get things to operate, or they just don't work at all due to there not being any support, you need to go to the top level software manufacturers and convince them that Linux versions are the way to go to appease the non-windows crowd, so good luck with that task... :-rofl2 Not to mention, I can get Windows7 running on a glorified PentiumIII processor dressed up as a 1.2GHz PentiumM, I can't get any version of Linux to work on the same system reliably, so, no ta...:D [/QUOTE]
