Consider. You run the game on Windows. The game makes DirectX calls and the driver puts them into the hardware. The hardware is likely to be highly optimised for DirectX and so is the driver.
You run the game on Wine. The game makes Direct X calls. Wine turns them into OpenGL calls and calls the driver. If you are using Nouveau you're screwed because there's no hardware acceleration. It's a bit better with the NVidia proprietary driver but even then it's not like NVidia is prioritising work optimising games performance because only 1% of desktops run Linux and most people are not using them to play games. Even if the NVidia spent time and money optimising their Linux driver (and after Linux flipped them off and then Alan Cox told them they couldn't use DMA-BUF why should they bother given Linux's market share), you've still got Wine in the middle of the system. And it's a system that even without Wine requires expensive hardware to run well.
Careful. A lot of people object to the Daily Mail because of a mistake a subeditor made with a headline in 1934. The best response to this is to say "WHAT'S THE MATTER? TOO TRUE FOR YOU?"
Most of the people who self diagnose as having Asperger's seem to believe that 'neurotypicals' have some sort of mental machinery that they lack. There's no way to be sure but I seriously doubt this exists. It seems more likely to me that there are people who concentrate their efforts on other people's mental states and others who do not.
In which case saying you've got Aspergers to excuse being rude is a bit like saying you're fat because you've got big bones or bad genes or something. Worse in fact, because a reputation for rudeness is career blighting and obesity is not.
I think a basic, bug-free and fast desktop is exactly what Linux needs. A "best thing since sliced ham" kind of thing.
Open source ham.
You raise the pig yourself and your kids give it a name. You get very disturbed by the screams it makes when you kill it, and come back covered in blood. Afterwards you decide to become a vegetarian. Occasionally you buy a ham sandwich that doesn't scream or cover you in blood from the supermarket but don't enjoy it as much as you used to.
There is more to it than meets the eye. Nvidia's technology is called "Optimus". Dave Airlie's work for supporting Optimus hardware is named "PRIME", which, in all likelihood, was a clever play on words; Within the settings of the fictional Transformers universe, the name "Prime" is a title bestowed upon the leader of the Autobots, and "Optimus Prime" was one such character. Second, from a technological perspective, it forms the basis for an apt analogy; For, like the Transformers characters, whom are "robots in disguise" (typically masquerading themselves as ordinary mechanical objects until a transformation into their alternative form is needed), a laptop with Optimus technology, while visually unsuspecting from the outside, is actually capable of greatly transforming its graphics performance and power draw characteristics on a situational basis.
Martin Juhl initially named the idea for this project "PRIME-NG", but since it was by no means a real solution nor better idea for PRIME, it was renamed to "Bumblebee"; which just so happens to be a character name from the Transformers lore. Likewise, Martin's eventual fork project, "Ironhide", is also the name of a Transformers character, and thus further continued the association.
I'm confused about so many projects (MrMEEE/Bumblebee, Ironhide, TBP/Bumblebee). Which one should I install?
See the History of the project page, which hopefully will give you a solid overview of TBP/Bumblebee and its differences with MrMEEE's projects
You know it's going to sell because it comes with every PC. Still if you look at Vista the take up rate was very poor compared to 7 or XP. So tanking in this instance means the market share measured by Statcounter et al grows slowly. Look if people complain about it. If the complaints are about as loud as Vista then it's going to be replaced quickly.
I think it's more likely to be a Vista than a 7. I'd also hazard a guess that Windows 9 comes out quickly and and with an option to go back to the Windows 7 style start menu.
You should use Windows. One clipboard, Ctrl C/Ctrl V. On a Freetard OS things become much more confusing so you end up cut and pasting your filthy degenerate brony sex toys like this Marlin Fish Suit into your work emails or slashdot posts and that means a one way to trip to the glue factory.
And you can catch brony from Freetard OSs. E.g. look
Slashdot Mirror
Also if you bought a computer post Windows Vista but pre Windows 8 it came with 7 pre-installed.
What's the matter? Too true for you?
Consider. You run the game on Windows. The game makes DirectX calls and the driver puts them into the hardware. The hardware is likely to be highly optimised for DirectX and so is the driver.

The clitoris develops from the same embryonic tissues that would develop into a penis in a male foetus.
There. I've just ruined cunnilingus from you.

Geeze!
I think it should be be spelled haze. It comes from "Jesus", which as we all know is pronounced HEI-SUS.
Fuck the UN

Mocking southern states anonymously on an internet site frequented by young liberals? That calls for this

Outsell Windows.
RT is corporation owned, it's the corporation that owns Russia
First they came for the bronies and were all like "WOO! YEAH! ENJOY YOUR AUSCHWITZ, HORSEFUCKER!" and so on.
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.
Android might but GNU/Linux certainly doesn't.
Using the "optimus" bit is also perfectly possible with bumblebee.

Worse actually, they gave him a Whipple
We Windows users are glad you left too.

Jar jar is a pretty good analogy for Metro actually.
I've spent too much time dealing with idiots on my weekend.
No you haven't.
Not all of us were so priveledged to have expensive toys like the Apple ][+.
Apple fans demonstrate their people skills again.
