    Well, I installed Skyrim on my other Mint 17.1 computer and the font problem is still there. Can you confirm that fonts are working out-of-the-box with Wine 1.7.49?

    Thread for streamers?

    My internet isn't fast enough to constantly stream games It would be cool if I streamed testing games, but I don't think we would have enough viewers to really take the time to watch me test. If our community was larger and we had more people writing guides on a regular basis, we could schedule...

    Windows 10...

    Agreed Some of the disadvantage of Microsoft is that they eventually catch on to what everyone else is doing late in the game. Then they blatantly copy them. I can't believe Windows has not adapted the multiple desktops yet... It is one of the most valuable features in Linux and OSX that I...

    Need a Video Card

    Right now? $0 - $0 I don't really have anything to trade either. I have a few old Dell Laptops and an old small form factor media center PC. All Pentium 4 stuff. A friend is probably donate a GeForce 8800 and I just added two 120mm fans to that case, so it should stay pretty cool. I don't know...

    Does Crossfire work/improve gameplay on linux?

    The only reason I would consider SLI is because I have two GeForce 9800 cards in one of my PC's Honestly, a decent modern video card would be cheaper than two cards and still provide enough power to play almost all AAA games. I never go out and purchase two cards, but if I happen to have two of...

    Windows 10...

    Awesome! Glad you could use Linux to do all of your daily needs. Yeah, I always have to "second guess" Microsoft when they do anything. Free Windows 10 just sounds too-good-to-be-true. I know there will eventually be a "catch" down the line somewhere. If I upgrade to Windows 10 it will only...

    Mint & Nvidia 340 Drivers

    I looked at my available updates today in Mint 17 and noticed Nvidia 340 drivers were available. This is the first time I remember getting new drivers in a Mint update. So far they are running perfectly. I tested Oblivion & Numen in PlayOnLinux. Both run smoothly as expected.

    Star Trek Online Guide

    I found that any time Star Trek Online or Neverwinter patch up, you will have to wait from 10-15 minutes to launch the game. I'm also testing Champions Online and it runs identical to these games. Same company, same engine.
