    best linux distro for gaming ?

    That should work fine. You can always install another desktop manager or just use Gnome 2D instead.

    World of Warcraft Guide - HARDMODE

    I forget that Arch is a rolling distro. So just put Arch and don't worry about the version. I put the Mint version because I'll be using it for about a year... maybe longer. Thanks guys

    Video Game Crash of 1983

    I'm sure you have seen the flash games websites Littered with poor quality games. You might find one decent game out of 10. Mobile games are better, but not by much. PC is plagued with a LOT of bad game through out the last 30 years, but of course there are still hundreds of GREAT games. I...

    Video Game Crash of 1983

    The mobile industry is an interesting one... Though devices are getting extraordinarily powerful, they will never be able to push the amount of data a full blown desktop can. I choose PC gaming because of the large screen, keyboard/mouse and surround sound. I really get that movie-like...

    Nice list! The only games I'm interested in is Baldur's Gate II and Metro Redux. Nice "when it comes" list as well.

    Video Game Crash of 1983

    I have to admit there are a lot of bad indie titles. Just look on Moddb.com There are a lot more unfinished, uncreative games on there then really good ones (Overgrowth). Of course there are a lot of genre's, but I've only play a few of them since so many are so poor in quality. On the...

    Online Games

    At first I thought you meant flash games and facebook games... But you are referring to MMO's only correct? There are a few other Perfect Entertainment (ARC) games I haven't tried yet... Like Champions Online I also haven't had a chance to try Rift either. One game I always wanted to play was...

    yeah! I still use my Battlefield 2, Unreal Tournament and Quake Wars dedicated servers in my Fedora server. I run them as LAN games for my window$ machines.

    Programs

    well, kinda and kinda not. For one Ruby doesn't run in Wine yet. So any plugins that allow you to export your models to other programs won't work. I spent almost a year creating assets in Skechup and exporting them to FBX & OBJ files to later find that normals didn't work correctly. So I ended...

    Programs

    Yes Yes Yes! Please create guides on other program in Linux! That would be awesome! I have focused all of my time on games so its hard to do other programs. You probably noticed I did a SketchUp guide. I squeezed that one through my game guides.

    We decided on Generic because anything that is not guide about installing a game can go there. I might do some "how to install Linux" guides or "how do setup a dedicated game server" guides in the future. So generic was broad enough to encompass any of them.

    Enclave Guide

    Yeah, what is up with the gamma/brightness? All I have to do is open Nvidia controls and the gamma resets, but its quite annoying!

    Enclave Guide

    Enclave is an older 3rd person view hack-n-slash game where you progress through small linear maps. Fight Orcs, Goblins, theifs and other monsters. The story is simple, the quests are linear, its a fun button masher for quick gaming satisfaction. Follow my step-by-step guide on installing...

    best linux distro for gaming ?

    Easy to install. Just use your software manager or synaptics package manager and search for Openbox Once installed, log off and then switch to Openbox and login. Yes, its very hard to use because its "bare bones" desktop. No menu's, no buttons, nothing! Just right click and select Terminal...

    Feel free to try newer versions of wine! I'm sure they will work and have better performance.

    best linux distro for gaming ?

    I'm not a distro hopper or tester, but I really like Mint 17 and openbox desktop. You can install all of your games in Cinnamon, but when you are ready to play with some extra performance, log into Openbox and just open Steam. Otherwise Ubuntu is great and I've heard Manjaro is another...

    I've heard DRM free games in Steam can be launched directly from the games .exe Never tried though.
