Linux Live Gaming Project

Posted by michael on from the better-than-freecell dept.

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!"

  1. Wow,Tuxracer.... by mboverload · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Yeah, Tuxracer will convert all the windoze lusers! With it's bump mapping and Halo-like gameplay, I dont think any gamer could resist!!!!1!!1

    In all seriousness folks, you cant just make some CDs with Linux on em and say "HEY! LOOK! I can game on Linux!" People want to see the proof. Gamers will not give up ANYTHING in performance, and running something non-natively sounds kind of dumb when you want 300fps. Most of us (inclusing me) want to play all the games WHEN they come out, not wait for some emulator/patch to come out 1 week later. Until you get tons of native Linux games, there is no way to convert these users.
