What do you do in linux in your spare time

[Mauler5858]

Ill start:

Trying to find more and more reasons to get away from Microsloth.
Messing with themes.
Pushing Wine to its limits with games.
Graphic and Video editing.

[jarvis13]

edit photos of people i know in incriminating situations for later use.

[Perfect Storm]

Writing gaming guides for Ubuntu 64-bit
Helping out on the forums
Making a game entry nowandthen

Sometimes I play around with kino and gimp to make some stuff.

[macogw]

IRC, forums, poke at things to see how to break/break worse/fix them...

Gaming! Mostly native titles like regnum online, savage 1, nexuiz, battle for wesnoth, tremulous, x3: the threat, northland (just got those two from tuxgames.com), neverwinter nights, doom 3, and a lot of others. I rarely emulate a title, the only ones i do being star wars knights of the old republic, star trek legacy, oblivion, call of duty 4, and star wars jedi knight 2 jedi outcast. I think there are enough games available for linux for native gaming though. I don't have windows, and with the last few releases, i think wine is a better gaming system than vista. Civiliation 4 isn't the only game that runs under wine and doesn't run under vista. (according to microsoft, not just gamers. If you count the unofficial reports, you can add counter strike: source and oblivion to that list, amongst others) :)

Off course, I browse the web (these forums for example :lolflag:), watch movies, and listen music.

I'm a writer. If I'm not tweaking my theme, I'm writing. I'd like to have my book finished before summer, but damn I'm getting slapped around by class. 25 page papers, hooray.

[zvezdogled]

watch movies
surf the web
listen to music
read news
etc.

[ARhere]

I play EVE Online and WoW.

I sometimes mess with network-admin related tools and enjoy learning more about Linux.

P.S. I have been 100% Ubuntu in my house for 5 months now... no Windows...anywhere! w00t!

[zeller]

A lot of the usual. Right now I'm mostly into GIMPing my photos.

[Superkoop]

Oh lots of things, really depends on my mood.
Games (TMW)
Listening to music
Watching a movie once and a while
Surfing teh web
Going to various forums
Customizing me theme with custom graphics

Messing with Blender
Write once and a while
Post on my blog when I get bored
Check my Facebook messages

Make a feather for Songbird
And when I get really bored, work on my crappy website =P
And sometimes, I play around with Ruby and Python.

Listening to music

[-gabe-noob-]

How that gamer got Regnum to work I'll never know...


Seirously I don't get how to make it run natively.

[NightwishFan]

Poke around looking for bugs in Hardy. posting on Ubuntu Forums while playing some music. Also some Urban Terror/Frozen Bubble when I am bored.

[madjr]

no Windows...anywhere! w00t!

u at least have a door right :confused:

[Linuxratty]

Oh,the usual;
Go to various forums.
Mess around with the Gimp.
Watch a movie, or a video.
Surf the web.
Read about whatever strikes my fancy that I want to learn about.
Listen to music.
I might play a game.
And yes,I'll tweak the desktop now and again to make it look different..new wall paper,that sort of thing.

[retrow]

I'm learning openGL. So when I am not working I am messing around with code. Some times I am on the forums, but recently I have been on UF quite a lot, especially since Hardy Alphas started coming out.

Its too bad that 'Gnometris' has some kind of a trouble which hasn't been addressed since the Edgy era, or else I would have played Gnometris at every chance I'd have got.

Teaching CellWriter to understand my writing. (Really!)
The teaching part is pretty transparent, actually. I just have to correct it whenever it thinks wrong (and it isn't my fault); the error rate is almost on par with Microsoft's system, and miles above Apple's, which is pretty darn good.

Right now I am spending my spare time working through The Elements of Computing Systems, which is a really fascinating book. (Really a university course, but the book is fine for self-learning). The software runs on Linux, so I am happily poking away at my very own simulated computer system, going from NAND upwards. I guess I could be considered weird, but I have wanted to understand why my code magically does what I say for a long time now, so this is really exciting!

Oooh, Nibbles has online play with GGZ. Looks like you won't be seeing from me for a while.
...Darnit, hurry up and take over the world, GNOME, so I can play Nibbles with humans!
(If you have the newer version, join my game!).

Programming. Scribes is the best source code editor ever. Currently building a slideshow... A super-intelligent slideshow that magically appeals to all people as they install Ubuntu.

Playing with FlightGear, for some reason, even though I don't like flight simulators...

News -- RSS is great... and, combined with Liferea, addictive.

[cardinals_fan]

Pathetic Perl scripting
GIMPing images for phony results
Playing Enigma or Tetravex
Customizing my Conky

[drascus]

Well I watch videos about Free Software and read articles online. I also play a little Alien Arena now and then. I post stuff on the forums. I chat on pidgin. I install different distros, wallpapers, themes, DE's. I look at the internet telescope at slooh.com. Listen to my ogg vorbis collection. watch TV on freetube.110mb.com/ work on my programming skills. Umm Ok the list is getting really long and I still have stuff to add. So yeah a lot of stuff...

All my Linux time is spare time! I love trying to get my favourite emulators running on Linux. People say there's no gaming on Linux, but I've have done nothing but game since I first installed it! Just discovered VICE the Commodore emulator, and looking forward to some fun with that. It seems a bit complicated, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

I can't explain it, but there's just something so right about emulating Commodore machines on Linux....I love it!

[kutjara]

Endless tinkering with the inner workings of Linux, usually right up to (and then past) the point when I break something. Then I spend many more happy hours trying to fix what I broke. Once that's done, I start trying to break something else. I'm currently much better at the breaking than the fixing, but I'm hoping that'll change over time.

[NightwishFan]

=D pinky and brain.

[ShodanjoDM]

Gaming and browsing mostly.

And trying to find a way to make this pc to serve me a glass of iced coffee whenever i want.
