Must Acquire Dictionary...
Actually, must fix spell check. It has been doing some odd corrections lately.
Yeah, but Ubuntu is not Linux, they have chosen their own road. Mir versus Wayland is a prime example of the NIH syndrome trap they have fallen into.
Linux is a kernal, and Ubuntu uses it, so yes, Ubuntu is Linux. As for Mir, they are putting that off a bit longer, thankfully. Yes, they seem to have gone a bit nuts lately. But it doesn't change the fact that they have a viable stratagy of desktop / phone / tablet that is consistant accross all platforms.
There are only a hand full of free to play games from steam for linux. It is kinda weird.
Man... This store doesn't have a lot of free stuff...
Imagine yourself in a tech support role, answering the following question: "How do I keep instant messaging, web browsing, and music playback running across a dual boot?"
"You don't. That is the concept of restarting a computer."
it should be mandatory.
each XO disc has its own OS
And which video drivers?
I want to be able to choose the interface I want on each environment and still have them communicate without limitations.
Damnit! Where is the "Like" button?
Who gives a crap about it -- It is Linux Mr. whatever you are, please understand the distinction between a thing that runs on Mainframes and clusters and your Christmas toy.
Good thing you left out the comma... Since Linux runs on Mainframes and clusters, and on your Christmas phone and tablet.
There's no game that would cause me to format my hard drive and wipe out the applications that have already led me to install Windows.
Linux users have been dual booting to play games for years. Turnabout would actually be kind of amusing!
What we need is some serious effort into platform integration between desktop, tablet and cellphone. Apple offers, Microsoft wants to offer it. Why don't we have it with Linux/Android?
I guess you missed that whole Ubuntu Phone thing, huh?
Put your games in it.
Give people f2p models or shareware models.
Let them purchase through web/ingame codes to unlock the full games.
Linux people will download the F2p versions by just tossing your repository in their package/software management apps a long with their other favorite repos.
Like Steam for Linux?
Or even better roll out a distro with your game thats a clone of Fedora or Debian + the above with your own binary repo.
Like the Steam Box OS?
That's true. Although, I think it'll cause sales of the Steam Machine console, not necessarily Linux in general. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2053680/valve-amd-based-steam-machines-are-also-en-route.html
Why? You can dual boot your Windows or MAC box and get the Linux version right now. That gives more uptake on the Linux side, and convinces other publishers to release for Linux / Steam Box.
