Review of Linux Gaming Using WineX 2.0

Ceyx writes "Toms Hardware ist running an Interesting review of DirectX Gaming under Linux using WineX. An interesting point is that the native Quake3 Arena runs faster with Linux then with windows." I had the good luck to play Jedi Knight Outcast and Return To Castle Wolfenstein at my friend's house, and it was really pretty good. The numbers show just how good the Linux drivers from nVidia are, so mad props to Mark V and his co-workers ...

Just think of it this way

Windows 98 Full Version : $100

20 Month subscripton to Transgaming: $100

New nVidia video card (cause you have to throw out your ATI Radeon et cetera): $150

Somehow this just doesn't add up. This makes as much sense to me as buying a copy of Windows 2000 Advanced Server so you can "run Apache on it." Just use the right tool for the right job!

Would you rather play Nintendo games through an emulator, or that NES attached to the TV in the corner?

WineX kernel module?

[sanermind]

I'll be content as long as the kernel module is open source. I don't over-mind running untrusted code as an untrusted user [occasionaly possible [but quickly patched] local root exploits asides], but kernel mode is ring 0, baby. That's bigger than root. I don't like the idea of a propriatary kernel module one bit.
