How many of you completely switched to Linux?

Hi,
I've been using Ubuntu for 1 year now, and I really enjoy it !

Thanks to all people contributing to Ubuntu

I have NWN up and running sort of - in fairness I haven't yet gotten sound to work

Have you tried removing './lib' from the shell script that launches the game? (found in the nwn game folder)

#!/bin/sh

# This script runs Neverwinter Nights from the current directory
cd /home/gaia/.nwn #<-- not the default install location : )
export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

# If you do not wish to use the SDL library included in the package, remove
# ./lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH #<--- from this
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH #<--- to this

./nwmain $@

I mainly use 2 computers since they are mine, Ubuntu on my laptop for downloading torrents (movies, music and games) and I use my Vista for gaming. Sorry to say I'm a multiplayer gaming addict

Totally 100% to Ubuntu for almost 2 years now, ever since an IT/Admin friend handed me an ancient desktop he loaded up with Ubuntu and OpenSuse (obsolete W* machine from his workplace -- they gave it to him). I've been a sucker ever since. I don't use W* at all. I got tired of viruses, re-installing for days on end and having to pay out all the time for this or that little program, utility or add-on to get the job done. It's sure a lot less stress and more control.

I began using only Ubuntu for about a month now. (ever since i got my new laptop) I did have a mini-freakout on my computer that caused me to create a windows partition so i could flash my bios but i recently removed that, but i feel like my computer has been liberated.

I have no reason to go back. I play the native UT2004 client along with a few Windows games that run pretty well in wine.

The only thing i miss is FL Studio. I have tried the alternatives but they just arent as good. I can get it working in wine but i cant get it to recognize my registry key so it stays in demo mode .

I can't stand using windows... so bloated and wrong! Why would I use something that doesn't work for me.

Ubuntu just works

I want to erase Windows but unfortunately, I'm still a gamer at heart.

So am I. I use windows when I buy a new game. that;s it

I do alot of my gaming on my 360 now. I have been ONLY on ubuntu for about 3 days, but I had been using wubi for about 3 months.

I switched completely a couple of months ago when my XP froze and gave me a pretty hard time.

I used to play loads of games and that's what kept me from changing long ago. But when I started doing science I traded in my free time and hence had no more use for XP since I had no time for games...
