Linux has game
It seems like every time we turn around on the forums, there is a tremendous backlash against the Windows OS and Microsoft as a whole. Some of it is even well-deserved - the amount of overhead required by the new Vista OS has made many otherwise very usable computers completely obsolete, and that's before you spend the money for Vista itself. And though you don't have to upgrade, wouldn't it be nice to use a current, well-maintained OS?
You can, of course, if you're using Linux. However, many users aren't willing to make the switch, despite the development of some great Linux distros. It no longer takes a PhD in Computer Science to install and run a successful, fully-functional Linux desktop. Finding software to fit your needs isn't always as easy, but there's also a lot of misinformation running around.
Because of this, I've tapped one of our resident Linux gurus to help with a series of articles to raise awareness of some of the things you can do with it. His name is Ken Gypen, but you may know him better as Glider on our forums. Today's article strikes at the heart of one of the biggest Linux myths out there - that it doesn't have gaming support. One of the primary reasons many forumites say that they can't give up the Windows OS is that they don't want to give up their games - is it true?
