I dunno what you want to say to me.
Dx10 would be a massive waste in time for the Cedega devs.
You're bullshitting yourself, many games of many genres to satisfy many people can and do run well under Linux.

If you really want to play Crysis on Very High, which doesn't look all that special next to High, then you probably should use Windows.

If you don't want to set up Linux either and would rather chill and frag, go for it. Linux is great and all but I never liked the troubleshooting part of it. Either way, do what you want but don't bash one side for a reason that was only logical 4 years ago.
Have you ever installed Linux and actually played a game on it?

It doesn't really take much work to get quite a number of games to run just fine under Ubuntu. Even BF2 that hardly even runs under Windows can be ran under it.
And Crysis runs on very high too doesn't it? Don't bullshit me, I've tried Cedega and Wine.
Apparently you failed.

Performance of Cedega/Wine properly configured is very close to (and even beyond) that of Windows. I didn't say every game out there will run 100% fine on it, it doesn't, but many games do.

Besides, what computer runs Crysis on Very High? Crysis is nothing but very unoptimized and overhyped as a benchmark.
I failed? So you got Crysis to work in Linux? Pics
Maybe Crysis won't run, I didn't do any research on that. If it doesn't, it's probably not a lot of work left to get it running. The point I (and everyone else) are making, is that many games will run under Linux. Crysis is still only one game, even if it is Crysis, and even being Crysis, it's not the most important game in the world. Crysis is overhyped, and you're a living example of that.

I have played BF2, CS, CSS, HL1, HL2, Portal and a little 2142 on Linux. And I'm far from an experienced user. The old seal of Windows being the only gaming OS is slowly wearing off.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Are you serious? ...

Crysis is no longer much of a problem to run on very high. Get with the times.

Because emulation is buggy.

Why do they call it 360 desktop? Because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.


Spoiler (highlight to read):
No but seriously, it looks aight, I dont know about modifying my entire desktop though, doesnt seem like it would be a good idea.... Maybe though after it gets way patched up, good idea though

You make it sound like Crysis is the biggest, most important game in the history of computer gaming. Which it isn't. Just because something doesn't run Crysis on Very High doesn't make it obsolete or unusable.

Lol YOU think i made it sound like that. I like the game thats why I asked if Crysis works on Linux. So if I said COD4 then you would say: "You make it sound like CoD4 is the biggest, most important game in the history of computer gaming"

And I didn't understand your answer to my 1st quote. A lot easier how?

Stop. Now. This all emerged from me saying "If you want that, get Ubuntu". It was a harmless comment. Jesus.

Yes, we all know Windows is for gamers, but Linux can run them too. K?

No, you use Crysis as a benchmark for everything. You very often (No, I'm not gonna scan and find your posts) refer to Crysis when talking about stuff like this, and make it sound like it's the only game on earth worth playing, which it isn't. 99.999% of computer games aren't Crysis.

And people run on Windows because it's a lot easier to insert the CD and double-click on Autorun.exe (if even that) than to properly configure Linux to run games.

It should have stopped before you made that post. I stopped, you didn't so don't blame me for continuing this.
Anyway I'm still using 360 desktop. Having PS CS3 open and RS download links and some more stuff.

So, guys, since this system is 64 bit, how is the interface in practice?

IE, how do you move the circle around? Does it work well or does it just get in the way?

Do you find that better or worse then using a keyboard shortcut to move to an entirely new 'desktop?'

Entirely new desktop wins. I would love to see it implemented in XP like its in ubuntu.
