@o0ZporK0o well even if i used crysis i would set my pc on fire from the stress of the game but the only real good part of crysis is that its great for benchmarking, nothing more nothing less.personally half life 2 and left 4 dead look somewhat better than that game if u ask me.
@shadow444222 No. Pay attention, young grasshopper. As it is clearly stated, I responded to KoolKluxKlan666's comment, which had nothing to do with this video, but was a statement about how he thinks the sound system in Linux worked. I made my comment because no modern Linux system has the audio troubles he talked about.
Based on update to installs they estimate approx 8% of user outside the usa use Linux and in the US approx 1.5% overall it is estimated approx 30 million users and is the only OS with growing market share.
theres no need to give it that long (not trying to be a dick correcting you). I am running Ubuntu and I am playing Fallout 3 on in on the highest settings witch windows wouldn't let me do. I am using Play on linux btw to run my game just so you too can run your pc games too :]. LINUX IS THE SEX
Yes it dose go through wine the it wont slow it down but you can still game in linux i have a gaming PC that runs games great in linux but still you have a good point its mostly up to your PC
@CodeyTheQuiet: You're totally right, especially on the security part ( like 14 years ago that happen ).
First time I ran half-life it was on a XP machine, all I got was G-Mans voice, blackness and random stuff on the screen ( something looked like grass that you were hovering above... ).
Crappy Intel card, It almost worked with Portal: the reason I bought all those games. My current computer is getting a little bit old, so does anyone recommend Mac? ( I'll run Linux on it of course ;)
steam doesn't actually use the GFX card if u have one in with Linux Mint. I get that damn update drivers thing when I load up a game. Can't even play TF2 :(
Half-Life 1 works, but I'm having trouble with playing mods. It doesn't find some dll-file when loading. I have CS 1.6 as a different installation and it works like a charm.
The software is called recordmydesktop. It's available in Mint via the package manager. Make sure to get the gtk front-end as well else that software won't have a GUI.
Another thing people there a wealth a games made for Linux. The X series is Linux only and very cool check out Linux Games Publishing on the Internet to view a sample of the massive amount of games made for Linux.
It worth noting that with Cross Over Elimination software Half Life 2 will work on any Linux distribution. The people of Half Life told the the people of Cross Over the API codes before the game was release so there was compatibility even before the game went on sale!!! This is getting very common with popular games that they are ensuring they work on Linux with Cross Over even before the hit the shops... Which is VERY COOL
as long as the game u wanna play got opengl options then you'll be able to play it on linux

@o0ZporK0o crysis sucks ass and plus half life 2 looks better than that shit ass game.

@shadow444222 I agree that Crysis sucks, but to say that half life 2 looks better, that's just out right lying, or denial

Yeah but from what I know, this all goes trough Wine, which slows down performances.

@salmiak911 if u run linix on a mac then it should run good but the install is hit and miss for some macs so it could be worth a shot.

You'll probably need Dual Core for a game like HL2 to run well. I tried running CS:S with a Athlon64 3000+ and it was almost a slideshow.

im pretty sure u have no advantage in HL2 with a dual core, but a better GFX card.
