is ubuntu linux good for gaming cuz i would like to save some money on my gaming rig but want to know if it would be more worth it to just get windows 7
Welcome to GNU/LINUX bro! I remember how excited the first time I booted up a dust collecting broken WINME machine thanks to the advice from Fravia (searchlores org) to try Ubuntu. Now I support the FSF org monthly with a sustaining membership and only use Free/Libre distros and software (e.g., gNewsense). Will never go back. Look forward to seeing what else your doing.
@hotmayo55 That is excellent to hear! You are the model new Linux user because you were open minded enough to give Linux a try at zero cost, instead of paying a lot of money for repair or for a new system. I, on the other hand, have a reliable Windows 7 PC, but still do Linux half the time since it is fun to participate in Linux. Take care!
The excitement over installing an operating system...lol. I'd love to mock you for that, but I had the same feeling when I installed Yellow Dog Linux on my PS3.
don't know if you've tried Mint Helena yet, but I have had a similar Linux experience as yourself. I also wrestled with the Linux/OSX/Windoze quandry, and ALMOST went with OSX, but couldnt justify spending £1500 for essentially a different OS. Love the look & feel of Mac, but just way too expensive, so I had to find another.
Went with (after trying ubuntu- varied versions), Mint 8 & lovin' every minute!! I know how proud of Mint I am, so I understand how you feel!!
its going to be a long time but soon mac will take windows spot. windows will die. linux will take a fighting second with google but nothing will ever beat mac. unless when steve jobs dies they cant find someone as creative as him to take over. linux is okay from what i heard. but mac4life
2009 was the year of cleansing. I can't say how many people I know had their lives totally turned upside down in 2009, including my own. So I believe 2010 will be a great year.
You have a very good memory. When I first posted this video. It was just in Standard 640x480 and and cut down to around 2 minutes because I was emphasizing at the time my excitement. Now I've re-posted it and it's all un-cut. Except for showing it in Wide which I just cropped off the bottom portion of the frame.
Yea, go linux!

@solvrn Yes, that was a monumental event for me. Vista was the new Windows OS back then and I was exploring other options.

@JustMightBeGod LOL - that's cool. I was just thrilled that week to try ubuntu 9.04 and Linux 7 because of the fact they weren't Windows or Mac.

I think I remember the original video that had the 2:08 - 4:43 clip that was on the Droadtrip channel.
You should do more on the move vids... or at least one for when you move.
I'm thinking about going off and see what Unix has to offer.

I think computer companies should sell their products with a choice of what OS you want whether it be Linux or Windows.
I'm still pretty new to Linux, but Linux FTW
Happy 2010!
