    Linspire 5 seems awesome

    Linspire is some Linux-like operating system, right? I googled around and found what appear to be screen shots.

    They're profoundly ugly.

    What about this seems awesome to you? What wonderful thing am I missing by only looking at the screen shots?

    Wake up rip van winkle - we've been gaming on linux for years, and sad to say, you were asleep and missed it all. For a gentle heads-up, see doom 1/2/3, quake 1/2/3, ut 2000/2003/2004, RtCW, etc etc...

    That is just asking for trouble. Linux sucks ass at games, face it. That isn't an argument to be won right now.

    OOOOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOOOW One game, you really made the choice and all you get is an OS with a bunch of design problems and usability issues, and one decent 3D games. It might be funny if it wasnt so idiotic.
