Linux Live Gaming Project
Fabio writes "The mission of LLGP (Linux Live Game Project) is show to Wintendo users that also Linux can be used to game. And now a new version is out. Features: KDE 3.3 with Plastik theme and Nuvola icons, kernel 2.6.10, Nvidia drivers, TORCS, Wesnoth, SuperTux, TuxRacer and much more! It's based on Knoppix, but contains deep changes in the startup scripts. Now the hardware probing is completely based on hotplug and udev; kudzu was removed. Challenge your friends on LLGP, and convert them to Linux!"
Run FCE Ultra or VisualBoyAdvance in Windows XP and tell me it's not a Wintendo.
Run any Xbox game on an Xbox, as the Xbox kernel is based on Windows 2000's kernel, and tell me it's not a Wintendo.
Fucking hell, you can tell it's monday. Bunch of pedantic shits. On your rags? Didn't get laid last night??? Fell asleep on your hand and couldn't have a wank?
I've given Linux its fair shot several times
Because after all, what Linux really needs is for you, the master and director of all computing, to give it a shot...
I shouldn't have to touch a text editor. If I have to configure anything, which I shouldn't, there should be a graphical tool for it
Text files are a superior configuration method because they're easy for a person to understand, easy for a computer to read, and can be changed on multiple computers with O(1) work. Everytime someone mentions GUI configuration, sysadmins (i.e., people who work with these systems you're not able to every day) everywhere breathe a little less easily out of fear that some manager might agree with what you're saying, and impose such a system on them.
If I have to configure anything, which I shouldn't
Here you go then. No configuration necessary.
it should allow me to configure *all* of the available options, not just the common ones.
Agreed. Do you know why they don't show you all of the available options? It's because they're designing to people just like you, only less technically savvy. Too many options are too confusing for people who don't know what they're doing, so they don't show them all. Similarly, text files are too complicated for people who don't know what they're doing. That's why we have GUI configurators. Thanks to you and others like you, sysadmins and users everywhere have to flail around with an incomplete GUI, instead of a simple configuration file.
Thousands of users and sysadmins work with text files every day, on one or hundreds of computers. They don't have any trouble at all. Doing what you suggest would break an already working system, and for no better reason than you weren't willing to learn to work with it. You're more than willing to complain about Linux, but not at all willing to learn it.
Oh really? Oh okay, I've got one for you:
Knock Knock.
(you say who's there?)
Boo
(you say boo who?)
Don't cry, It's only a joke!
Why aren't you laughing? Man you should loosen the fuck up. jesus.
Oh that's right, it's not funny...
"And then I visited Wikipedia
Nothing more relaxing like watching a moron burn his carma. :)
4 times flamebait in a row. You have passed your fanboy exam
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
Would it really be that burdensome to ATI to publish some specs so that other people can write drivers?
Also since they have drivers for mac os X how much harder would it be to write linux drivers?
If it were cake, it would be done. Hang on, wait a second...... This is slashdot. You are supposed to already know why the GPU makers don't like releasing such details. Shame on you, I say.
Yesterday I told my friend that he can play the latest games on Knoppix, because it uses udev and hotplug. I also told him that Kudzu is gone, and Knoppix has Torcs and Wesnoth.
His reply was: "WOA!!! with all these games, who really needs Windows? I bet Kudzu has incredible graphics..."
(seriously: what the f*** is 'Kudzu', 'hotplug', and 'udev'? why should I care about them as a gamer? who cares about what the kernel has? and what is a kernel anyway? The Linux community should realize that non-technical game players don't know anything at all about these things.)
