Quoting: Mountain ManLooks like I struck a nerve. Exactly as intended.

Your trolling was a success? Have a cookie.

Quoting: Mountain ManSeriously, dude, you're on a Linux site talking trash about Linux. What'd you expect?

He most certainly shouldn't expect conspiracy theories and flaming. This isn't a circle-jerk site for zealots and Tux fetishists, hopefully. We're here for news and discussions on Linux gaming, not on how much better we are than the heretics who are too blind to see the glorious superiority of our preferred OS. This might come as a shock, but your attitude is in no way beneficial to "the cause".

I wasn't trolling, dude. I've just seen his type before, those people who show up in Linux discussions and try to give the impression that Linux is a buggy, poorly supported, fragmented OS by describing atypical problems and then acting like it's par for the course for the Linux experience; for instance, he claims that his inability to run LibreOffice is a "perfect example" of what it's like to use Linux and that developers "constantly [release] ... unfinished, unpolished, buggy stuff" for the platform. Frankly, I'm surprised he didn't pull out the old canard about having to use the command line for everything.

I feel it's important to call people like that out, and when they throw a hissy fit over it, well, I can't help but laugh.

Quoting: Mountain ManI have to assume you're a paid shill for Microsoft engaging in the age old practice of astroturfing forums with FUD about Linux.

You're exactly the type of moronic zealot I've been talking about, ignorant as fuck.

It's pointless when the community consists of people like you.

People have serious issues but individuals like this take it they have to be involved in some kind of conspiracy against Linux, just because they state the obvious. You sir, are a very poor character.

Looks like I struck a nerve. Exactly as intended. :D

Quoting: InokiMy system is a perfect example, where I can't even launch LibreOffice without crashing my entire session (I already reported an Xorg bug, let's see how long will it take them to fix it. It's taking already more than 6 months.) Then there's the microphone not working and I'm not even going to continue.

So much for people entering Linux.

Linus said, that it bothers him, that Linux is doing great as a server platform but not as a desktop, which was his intent. We know the solution to this problem. Now to get to work, so consumers get working, not broken systems.

I have to assume you're a paid shill for Microsoft engaging in the age old practice of astroturfing forums with FUD about Linux. I run Kubuntu and have not had a single issue with LibreOffice, and my microphone works perfectly. In fact, Kubuntu has been far more stable and user friendly than any version of Windows I've ever used. Whatever problems you're (supposedly) having with Linux are far from typical.

Quoting: HonorEDnlKWhat's with people and taking names for something that's more general and just shove it to something specific, that's what the people who say PC when they intend to say Windows are doing. And I rightfully hate that practice.

Blame the Apple marketing juggernaut with their "I'm a Mac; and I'm a PC" commercials which drilled it into people's heads that PC = Windows. Still, you'd expect a software developer to know better.

Their loss then. This is why developers need to make their software cross platform from day one instead of making a Windows version first and then trying to port it to Linux.

Also, we need to get it through people's heads that PC is not synonymous with Windows. Windows is Windows. PC simply means "personal computer" and can refer to Linux, OSX, and Windows.

I would never install Uplay on my Linux box. Installing it in Windows was bad enough.

Personally, I think it's great that they tease us, but they still have to deliver on Shadow of Mordor yet.

Indeed.

All I ever heard about this game when it was first released was that it was buggy and obviously incomplete with storylines and subplots simply dropped without resolution, so I've never been inclined to play it.

That's a Feral port, not Aspyr. And besides, that was released for Linux months ago.
