    There's fewer viruses for other OS's, most likely owing to the lower install base of the same. Even black hats are interested in ROI.

  11. Play the original for free .. on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    EDuke32 is an awesome, free homebrew game engine and source port of the classic PC first person shooter Duke Nukem 3D— Duke3D for short—to Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, several handhelds, your family toaster, and to your girlfriend's vibrator. We've added new renderers, hundreds of cool features and upgrades for regular players, and thousands of additional editing capabilities and scripting extensions for mod creators. EDuke32 is completely free, open source software.

    Developed between August 2004 and now by Duke community leader Richard "TerminX" Gobeille and NVIDIA software engineer Pierre-Loup "Plagman" Griffais—and incorporating work by 3D Realms/Ken Silverman/Jonathon Fowler/Matt Saettler, what started as a learning experience and an excuse to learn C soon rose from obscurity to become the best Duke Nukem 3D port ever.

    EDuke32 is licensed under the GNU GPL and the BUILD license. http://eduke32.com/

  18. Re: NO LINUX FOR YOU on Nvidia Adds GeForce GTX 570 To Graphics Lineup · · Score: 1

    Whatever.

    [...]I've not had any problems with the binary drivers from NVIDIA under Linux. They just work.

    On the other hand, nobody could pay me enough money to run AMD graphics cards in Windows and suffer using their Windows drivers. Admittedly ATI made major driver quality and stability improvements around the R300 launch, but not much has improved since then. And that's 8 long years ago.

    You neglected to mention the ATI/AMD Linux driver situation. The proprietary driver works for about 1 out of 32 models available and it will panic the kernel faster than Steve Ballmer can do a monkey boy dance. They are orders of magnitude worse than the Windows drivers.

  20. Re:wonderbar.... on Company Seeks To Boost Linux Game Development With 3D Engine Giveaway · · Score: 1

    now if video cards run under linux were more than just framebuffers we might go someplace.

    Linux already had pretty solid 3D support going all the way back to the Vodoo1 days. Yeah, sometimes you needed to take a little care to buy a card that actually worked in Linux and not just the next best random piece of junk, but that isn't really that that much different from Windows where when you don't take care you might be stuck with some unusable on-board graphics solution.....

    Well, given that ATI and Nvidia make the only video cards that can go faster than 20 FPS It is even easier since ATI's 3-d support has never worked in their proprietary driver.
