Linux runs on PLENTY of x86 boxes - WHERE are ALL THOSE WONDERFUL Linux Games?


Well seeing that Linux was never intended as a games platform -- and as has never really advertised itself as such...
Generally people are running linux as a unix replacement, or for server apps, still others just like hacking around on an OS where you have the source code to examine.

Still, you can find plenty of open source efforts at The Linux Game Tome, updates on games usually on Linux Games, oh and I remember seeing a couple being released on this site a while ago.....

Do you see a pattern here? Other OS' run on x86 - Developers code for Windows!


This must be why linux has no developers.... everything just lept fully formed from the forehead of Linus Torvalds, a-la Zeus.

There is a plethora of apps out there - which ipso-facto states there are a plethora of developers out there.  

Still, people in glass houses --- You ask me where my wonderful games are, I'll ask where is your wonderful OS...

Siggy.

@Helgis

You know, I really hope you get your board soon.
I hope that OS4 is hot on it's tail and you don't have to wait too long
to play with it.
I hope that it's fast, responsive, and that it brings with it the simple fun
that I recall from playing with all the Ami's that I've owned over the years.

Most of all I hope that it ends the squabbling and general b@tchiness that
abounds at the moment.

If it's released, and it lives up to expectations - if it's what I would expect of
an Amiga... or if it looks like it has the potential to join the equipment that is now
my lifesblood, I'll write out a cheque for an entire system.

If not, I'll let what classic equipment I have serve out it's last days in service,
file the Amiga under the 'good ole days' of my computing hobby and move on.

It'll be kept in good company with computers that date back to the mid 70's.
But I'm too old for optimism, and have too many responsibilities to spend that kind of
money on faith alone.

I'll make my judgments when I see the product.

Siggy.
