Sigh. It has nothing to do with this. If you were to tell gamers that they could get another OS for free, that'd run their games fine, and offer a decent experience, they'd probably be happy to...

Screenwise, does more pixels actually require more power? I would think the power would be based more on the size in inches, as opposed to pixels. Me, I want 1440p+ screens either way.

It's simpler than that. The argument is you sold me hardware, it's not mine, thus I can do what I want with it including hacking he firmware to unlock new features. Of course the FSF would strongly...

There is nothing wrong with that logic but there is something wrong with yours. Valve has to run steam, which includes indefinitely hosting a growing number of games. The bandwidth, hosting, and...

I think you're underselling steam. Running a content delivery network with user access control that size of steam is an interesting technological problem, which is one of the reasons you didn't see...

I think someone as smart as yourself should be able to understand the typical "everything should be opensourced" argument, especially when we're refering to hardware.

What you'll never understand,...

I prefer apt / debian to FREEBSD. Before I ran debian + ZFSonLinux (in a mostly unrecommended way) I had network stutters and similar issues on my n40l which is a known problem. On debian these...

Oh, so you raised a bug and they told you they've replicated your issue but just don't care?

Maybe the difference is people running PostgreSQL, of which there are probably many more of, actually...

So you don't think the Wii has a kernel and drivers or are you prohibiting your complaint to only Linux for some reason?

Tell me, whats the difference that makes it so Linux cant be a gaming...

Again, does it work when you plug it into your Wii? How is using your argument against other platforms "trolling"? You haven't actually made a decent point, really.

You can always do something about that, you know.

It's not that I disagree, I just don't find it entirely constructive to bash the system in the manner you've taken. First of all, you can't be...

Its not easy, and new stuff rarely works out of the box, but you do at least get it on the CD with a common installer.

These market studies are actually telling the vast majority of developers the truth. Moving a single game to linux isn't likely to result in any changes in the number of people who buy games on the...

Which kernel are you using anyway?

Most gamers are familiar with editing text-based configs and in particular holding onto those files to save when they do a reinstall or an upgrade. Its not typically gamers you'll need to worry...

No, it's not. We won't call it a gaming platform until at the very least it's out of beta, including some hardware which is specifically vendor supported for the platform. Other stuff will probably...

They make a couple of alright games. Metro is pretty nice, for example. Good news if they actually pull the trigger, but the way things are going, I wouldn't be totally shocked if they did.

My 5850 runs well with mesa. It could certaintly pump out more FPS, but its stable, doesn't have any video tear issues, and runs pretty much anything asked of it.

Thats the *nix way, it's sort of weird for a Linux enthusiast to be whining about it.

Thanks to this topic I installed Clementine, it seems to be working better than the alternatives for me (I'm...

This is the point generally. You don't really care about a desktop machine going down, but a server hosting a couple of hundred of VMs you want to be always available is a different matter. Of...
