Second Life Native Linux client Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the streaming-porn-for-everyone dept.

strredwolf writes "Linden Labs has opened up the native Linux client to all users. This is an alpha version, though -- it has a lot of bugs and many hard edges. Prelim reports on the Linux client forums include: NVidia cards are better supported over ATI; get the latest drivers working in 24/32 bit color; some file editing to tweak settings is worth it; no sound; no file uploading; no texture downloading."

    The only remaining reason I keep Windows around at all is for MMORPGs. Maybe now I can get rid of it.

    So... does Second Life have killing people with swords?

  3. Booooring! by garrett714 · · Score: 1, Funny

    So this game is basically WoW without monsters to kill to get items to kill bigger monsters to get better items to kill bigger monsters? How can it be any fun?

    They're between the condoms and the deodorant, duh.

    Oh, sorry, I guess you've never been in that section.
