Quoting: GuestHere is a idea, Put DirectX11 emulation support in Wine so hundreds more Windows games will play on Linux.

How many years the wine team needed to make DirectX 9 available?

You know thats direct x 1x was a different API to DX 9?

You know thats direct 3d 11 is better in Gallium 3D?

You know direct 3D 11 was for the nvc0 (nVidia NVC0/Fermi) chips available in Gallium 3D?

See: http://www.x.org/wiki/GalliumStatus/ [External Link]

Direct X 1x harms Wine, as it is useful for Wine

"The talk is very technical, but one thing I did find quite striking is the build time difference between Visual Studio (8 Minutes) and Make (70 Minutes). They did find an alternative to make, but it still doesn’t come close to VS’s time."

They use Intel to compile under Linux. An AMD FX is very much faster to compile under Linux.

Games people would not expect but are universally loved:
Ages of Empire 2

As in the Microsoft game?

Yeah right - we've got about as much chance of Bill Gates announcing that he'll be using Ubuntu going forwards as we do of that happening!

Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong (I love the franchise, but am sick of playing it via PlayOnLinux), but it's never going to happen...

Yes it can happen.
On this list are 3 MS Games, ok the Devs are not MS but the Publisher:

And now MS open his dot NET framework and made it opensource. So MS open his doors to Linux and other platforms.

Why not with Games, too?
I hope MS will do it.

Quoting: AryvandaarWhile I was doing a check for new kernels in the repo I saw the 319 kernel, and then I forgot what the fuzz was about.

319 kernel, weeee, weeeeee. :woot:

Yes but it was only the 3.19-rc4. So you should not use this Kernel. The latest stable was 3.18.2.

The 3.18.2 i use, too.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceAnyone using these as a main drive are doing it wrong anyway. They are meant as storage drives not as program or OS drives.

Some setups have this Drive Series as main drive. See NAS Servers.
Some people, here in Germany jumps on the Save power train, because the power was not cheap here so the people use these kind of drives.

So i find the information from the Topic starter really important.
Why? I'm hardware/software technician and openSuSE supporter.

I have a green Drive from WD, but it was a USB Drive that's works now intern as Data drive. My primary drive was a ssd.

Thx to the Topic starter.

Best regards

Peter
