Best Configuration for Linux Gaming?

Posted by Cliff on from the aside-from-dual-booting dept.

werjman asks: "I'm interested in switching completely to Linux but the only thing holding me back is the gaming. What I really want to know is what distro, graphical environment, Window Manager, and so forth are low on the system resources and play games great (and by games, I mean 3D accelerated memory hogs). Does anyone out there actually use Linux as a gaming platform?"

  1. Use a special purpose machine for gaming. by jotaeleemeese · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Do yourself a favour and buy yourself a PS2 or Gamecube, I am pretty sure you can get them second hand on Ebay for good prices.

    Stop making excuses for your Windows partition. You don't need it, remove it.
