    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    Yeah, that tutorial needs to be updated... I didn't realize it was so confusing, then again, the version of Universal USB Installer was probably really old at this point. These are the basic steps I use to get Linux Mint on a USB flash drive in Windows 7: Download Mint ISO to Desktop Use HP...

    That is what I thought, but didn't know for sure. I've seen games that have missing libraries and thought "wouldn't it be nice to download the library and just put it in the games root path?" Guess I could have

    Oh, I just re-read your post and you are copying the libdbus libraries from Linux Steam to the GOG game folder. OK, that makes sense now. Do game executable's always look in their root path for libraries?

    Guild Wars 2 Guide

    Awesome! I"m happy Guild Wars 2 is working for you. Nice to see it free-to-play, otherwise I wouldn't have ever tested it. If you ever get a chance to upgrade your video card, you will probably get better frame rates.

    Van Helsing 2 Guide

    I hope they DO release a Linux native version. Gamingonlinux.com posted a few articles on it, but so far nothing has happened. If they want to be on SteamOS then they really need to port it to Linux. They already have OpenGL compatibility built-in

    Get ready to shit yourselves: The future of linux compatibility.

    But you know gamers against Wine would say we were technically running Windows with Wine as well... "Technically" :p Wine needs to use Windows processes in order to play games, but I feel a lot safer with Wine than running Windows in VM. At least I don't have to install Windows, update and...

    I like the sound of that, but what I'm tired of is KEY's, Anti Virus, Driver issues, KEY's, Licenses... did I already write KEY's? I have to mess with Microsoft stuff all day in IT Keeping track of which Office Keys and which Windows Keys go where and to whom. It wears you out. I actually had...
