@IbanezGRGRFreak My computer never crashes due to Linux :)

@Jakejw93 well yea but i looked online and i found a tower computer case for 50 dollars and i think some other ones are cheaper but yea i already have other monitors so i guess i could use those and no i used to have windows before but it kept crashing so thats why i witched over to ubuntu but is a gaming pc the same as a regular pc or just all games?

[Jakejw93]

@navi1007 Ubuntu is really good in the end, do you duel boot or have you stuck to just Ubuntu? And if you plan on buying a whole computer i would suggest on buying hardware separately, IF you know what your doing i saved a bunch of money by doing this.. but yeah of course you could play it on a gaming rig!

[navi1007]

@Jakejw93 yea its kinda easier to find things but the whole ubuntu system is still a maze to me could i instead buy a gaming computer and see if i can play it would i be able to?

[Jakejw93]

@navi1007 You were using Unity? I think unity has a lot of desktop effects (bad for gaming) so its probably best to stick to classic, my personal opinion but i prefer the classic desktop..

[navi1007]

@Jakejw93 yea well yesterday a message showed up on my computer when i turned it off and it said that my computer did not have the hardware to run ubuntu so it switched to the classic setting and i cant run the game anymore when i tried to the screen froze and i uninstalled it then tried to instal it again but it did not let me install it so can i somehow restore the settings or system recovery etc?

@navi1007 problem with running it in Linux, you can join servers that dont have punkbuster, plus in the video i also have graphical glitches

[navi1007]

when i join a multiplayer game it says punkbuster booted me i already tried downloading it for linux but it did not work so i downloaded it for windows and it worked but when i try to join a game the screen graphics will turn black and after a while it says punkbuster booted me so can anyone help me in how to properly download punkbuster or what graphic cards i should have or is it a bug and if it is how do i get rid of it please respond

[navi1007]

i always had some lag with windows when i used to play joint operations i dont mind a little lag as long as the game is good and i can run it on linux
