I've installed Ubuntu on nearly ten machines by now and I've been using it on my main machine since 2007. I'll be chipping in a good amount as soon as I've topped off my PayPal account and I'll make...
So it is. So much the better.
In any case, I'm not too concerned about the Mac-Linux discrepancy. At least planned support is there and that's a hell of a lot better than an outright "no". Plus,...
Check out the second update here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity/
Linux support is a stretch goal, but it's at 2.4 mill and they've already got half of that. So it's...
This project looks pretty awesome and they're supporting Linux. They've got seven more days to make their stretch goals, one of which is a single player campaign (not a scripted one, but a generated...
PlayOnLinux is absolutely awesome for these things. Give it a go.
Oh, I've got the original. But I'm looking forward to playing it natively and to the extra features. Plus, I like to back companies that support Linux and the new version shouldn't be more than $20.
Some of this stuff sounds daunting, but if you love programming, you'll be fine. Just code. Learn and code. If you do that because you enjoy it, you'll set yourself apart without even trying too...
Not too long ago, I felt the same way. It's true that if you just settle for what comes your way on its own, progress is going to be slow. My advice is to think of a project that seems doable but...
While Linux support has not yet been confirmed, they're seriously looking into it. See http://twitter.com/TrentOster. That'd definitely tide me over.
I am not. Source doesn't use every single aspect of D3D, so they don't have to provide a translation for everything. They just need their engine to work.
Do some research, rather than just...
I don't know about RAGE, but Valve is not using a fork of Wine. Someone might have compared the solutions somewhere, but that would not be a fair comparison and it only creates confusion.
Simply...
I'll try to rephrase what I said.
The difference between "native" OpenGL and Valve's translation layer is artificial. It doesn't exist. With a fully customized and optimized translation layer,...
Here's a question: are you a programmer? Because the way this "translation layer" is being portrayed is unfair. It seems that some people have the impression that OpenGL is being shafted here, which...
For reliable compatibility (but no 3D as of yet) use VirtualBox or VMWare. For a straightforward WINE-customizing-solution, use PlayOnLinux. Don't expect anyone here to provide an illegal link to...
Despite the often excessive Apple resemblances, I do feel that Elementary is looking pretty impressive. Pantheon feels faster than GNOME shell for me in any case, but that might just be because...
I think it's too easy to just dismiss this. Sexism like this is very widespread in the IT community and it's a damned shame. Let women be women without making them feel guilty about it. And then...
Disagree on the money bit. There are completely free quality games. Not a lot of them, but they exist. If you put in enough initial work and create some good momentum, you'll be able to convince...
Honestly? For one thing, if you want to start a successful project, you shouldn't start by staking out your own territory and by saying what you can't do. If you only want to do web design and you're...
Works perfectly under Firefox, works near-perfectly under Chromium for me.
I'm not entirely convinced by Gabe's reasoning, but I don't really care about his reasoning. What matters is that the man is committed to this. Valve might not get everyone else to support Linux, but...
Actually, I wasn't referring to their in-house titles. Newell says that he wants to make 2,500 titles playable, so I meant the entire Steam catalog.
Have you guys seen the latest link posted on Phoronix? Most of it is your typical Larabel-bashing-Windows clutter, but Gabe Newell has stated that Valve is looking to get its entire catalog running...
No. I don't have anything against windows, but I find that I hardly ever use it. Pretty much stopped booting into it entirely thanks to newer versions of Wine and thanks to PlayOnLinux.
They're opening in about two weeks, but I've still got a few invites left. PM me with your email if you're interested. First come, first served.
I like what I see so far. Will gladly give it a spin once it's officially released. I'm a big fan of application launchers à la Synapse or Dash, so I'm not too worried about switching between...
