TH9 with dual xbows come at me

I can't play Far Cry 4 on linux either. Man, all of these shitty games just don't work.

[abecx]

Relax man, I was just trolling. Everyone knows consoles are the best platform.

Funny thing about that, I just watched this video.



$70 processor, a $130 video card, and it's playing games at the xbone/ps4 level. I didn't realize it could be achieve for so cheap.

I'm not going to defend Linux gaming, if you try to play games on Linux it would be like buying a Mustang trying to beat a Camaro.

So, it's a slam dunk?

Except Mustangs stomp camaros these days. GM getting kicked while its down.


Stay away from Linux if you're gaming. Also you'll find shit tons of windows support online, compared to that the linux support is kind of thin. Tried it out on another machine for a year, never could see any real big reason to make the switch other than the fact that its free. Didn't feel as... snappy. You get what you pay for.


I will say that has been about 5 years ago. Have they moved away from the command line completely yet?

Are you people really this easy to get a rise out of lmao

[CexMashean]

Lying tends to do that to people.

I posted this the day I bought the computer (from craigslist...it had windows 8). It's not all command based anymore. I guess to be more specific it's Ubuntu 14.04 I think? I'm not a PC gamer. I have a PS4 and just casually game.

My home security cameras run on a Linux box - never any issues or downtime, and I'm amazed how well it runs on such basic hardware that I have in that box.

[jdgregory84]

I've gotta admit. I'm actually liking it. I might have to google which apps to download that would otherwise run on something already built in to windows, but after a quick DL from their marketplace, everything works fine. Except DVD's. Apparently DVD's won't run on linux. I thought about getting KMPlayer to see if that would run it but I don't care that much.

Which one are you using? I have not used linux in many years.
