@nazi8per Ubuntu might not have ventrilo support or any linux distro fro that matter. HOWEVER when I game on linux I use a free open source program called mangler. It can connect to any ventrilo server.
@J0RDSKI World of warcraft runs better in ubuntu with WINE than it does in widows. as for other games from soucr (IE L4D or fear 2), i have yet to try them.
@Breathoffog hi mate, so how did L4D go because i download windows 7 from piratebay and its cool but im looking at the videos on youtube and it seems that ubuntu is lighter so it wont lag as much as in windows 7, please let me know of how did L4D and Fear 2 Do, THANKZ
@xMaJiiCz FEAR 2 runs with some issues and lag. WINE 1.2 stable just came out and I gota check it out with that one. The reason WoW runs so good is because you can set it to run in open GL, which is where linux really shines. I havnt tried L4D yet, but assuming it ran OK in this video im guessing its gotten better.
@xMaJiiCz Let's make it simple. Any game that is designed for Windows WILL run faster in Windows than it would run in Linux. Even using OpenGL, performance could be comparable, but you would still get more fps running Windows to run Windows programs, just like you would get more fps running 3D Linux applications in Linux than you would running 3D Linux apps in Windows.
Actually this is not true, most people playing WoW in particular notice some fps improvement, I myself gained 10-15 fps in graphically intense areas such as Dalaran. (all with same graphics settings ofc)
dude.. i installed ubuntu and wine. then i run the game ... its so laggy u cant imagine :O SO LAG!!! U need to wait 1 min when other frame ... well i think Linux Ubuntu NOT good for gamings :D I think that Linux is best for servers like for WOW Servers or CSS or something..
Im pretty certain that Linux is far more secure than windows hence why all mainframe servers and defence systems use Linux, but then I dont know this personally.
military uses Windows XP. it is VERY secure all our linux systems are only used for programs that need to be quick fixed.. ie air traffic reporting.. or our Radar displays.. if we have a problem with it.. it only takes 10 minutes to fix.. as opposed to a program by adobe.. taking months to fix.. that is the only reason the military uses linux
(i was thinking these big games and special effects would take up too much space or lag on windows... ubuntu kind of unlocks your computer. it makes it worth doing alot of terminal..ing) xD
if u have 2 monitors u can set it up so wowhead is on one monitor and wow on other, as far as i know u can only do this by making it windowed mode then full screen, witch reduces fps
it's best if people keep it on the downlow because then hackers will start going after the linux users. my cousin told me that linux is basically virus free but it's still as vulnerable as windows to hackers (w/e that means)
@50511911 Smart cousin =) "Secure" is a relative term. It's pretty much impossible to lock down either OS any more than the other. They both handle firewalls virtually the same, and they both have user exploits that will get some chaos outta the system. Linux does however have the benefit of being open source, so when there is a large scale issue it's fixed within days, sometimes hours.
If your PC hangs it's because you were running in full screen mode, so it had to minimize the game and then pull up your desktop or w/e window you were trying to load. Try running wow in windowed mode + full screen and you should see a lot better performance from it on that front.
All the source games work with WINE but if you're a big gamer I would definitely make sure you at least have a partition for XP because most new games don't work with WINE.
What do you mostly use your computer for? If you keep up with the gaming scene and play mostly new games like Call of Duty 4 then I would stick to Windows because thats what most games are native to. However, if you don't really game I would definitely at least give it a try. I dual-boot Ubuntu and XP so I can play games like Call of Duty 4 that don't work on linux, but then I can switch back and do anything else on Ubuntu.
lol... I gest installed ubuntu but i have a question i got a 40gb hard drive when i run wine and lanch the instaler it said not a nuph space please help me...lol do i have to install it in a defrent folder?
i have a problem with the applying uppdates :o what should i do couse its just on 0 %?

dude, put it in window fullscreen in windows, use alt+tab, shouldn't hang.
