    I've lived your last point. There are several results to paying for proprietary software that is frustrating: Stuck using Proprietary Software (MS Office) and loosing support because company can't afford to upgrade Subscription based software - Company is forced to update software & it breaks...

    [News] Crytek Showing Off CryEngine On Linux At GDC

    All of this stuff gets so complicated. Its confusing to just about everyone. What it it really comes down to for the end user is: I use software for what I need and if I don't have to pay for it, great. Everyone else pays for their software and try to get the best deal possible. Or try to...

    Dang I thought "RegisteredFonts" was the packaged that did it... I switched between Wine 1.8 and Wine 1.8-staging and then changed the Windows version to Windows XP in Wine Configuration.

    I love it! :rolling: I have never viewed it as "abuse"... instead I always see it as an opportunity to help someone. Its actually quite ironic, us computer guys love playing with computers and love to help people with theirs. Computers are always fun and every time I work on one, I learn...

    SteamOS and PlayOnLinux

    This is good news and bad news. So how many more steps will it take to install, setup, configure a game in PlayOnLinux and get it linked to Steam in big picture? I've read many complaints that our guides are too long... so adding more steps is going to be discouraging. For them of course... I...

    SteamOS and PlayOnLinux

    Agreed. I never game in the living room on TV's since I have 6 PC's ready to game at any time. So I've never needed a console environment. SteamOS doesn't have much use to me, which kinda sucks because it IS Linux and I love supporting Linux. Its kinda funny, I was reading posts about...

    [News] Crytek Showing Off CryEngine On Linux At GDC

    I think its awesome to make money doing free software, open-source and nonprofit. Someone always pays for it, but the customer gets the product or service for free. LOVE IT! Like I always thought... "some things are just meant to be free" The rest of the world wants to make money from...

    Almost, same steps but I used Wine 1.8 and had to add the package: POL_Install_RegiersteredFonts It errored the above error a few times but when I switched to Windows XP in Wine Configuration it worked. Took a few minutes to load up first time, but it worked. I used the US installer as...

    Good point and I'm not surprised either. Open Source always seems nice because you know they aren't taking your money. But even free software has a way to earn profits.

    r9 m275x driver question

    Probably has something to do with AMD helping develop the open-source driver. Which works better than their proprietary driver in most cases.

    Its nice that it will never be said about open-source I know money pushes things along a lot faster and more support, but corruption isn't part of the game because there is nothing to monopolize.

    r9 m275x driver question

    What? How can Ubuntu no longer support fglrx? Do you mean the fglrx drivers won't automatically install anymore? That really sucks! Of course you can just install it yourself with the Driver Manager and a proper PPA

    Will someone one tell me why?

    Its not a "lost cause" because it really plays Mp3s No really it does, just not how any human would listen to them :D
