Just wondering for when I bother to get to my HIB copy. No rush on that though as I am still playing through Psyhconauts (which does still really need another bug fix release) and will probably be giving Rochard a go first as I want to see how well Unity is working out.

To be fair, we do not know what the prices will be for a digital download.

What I would really love is to see Hyperion Entertainment put some of their old games up, but I doubt that will ever happen.

In a word: awesome! :D

I just hope they treat both Linux and Mac in fairly equal terms, since they have been primarily a Mac based porting house in the past.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6020, member: 122"The only major difference at the moment that I know of is Office's new(ish) "ribbon" replacement for the toolbar.

Which almost everybody hates. ;)

I would definitely argue that Linux has the advantage when it comes to older hardware support because of the in-kernel driver model. It also scales down better than Windows on older hardware too, but that is a completely separate issue. Linux has a disadvantage when it comes to the latest hardware for the same reason, but once something does get good support, it will tend to last practically forever assuming it get's into the kernel.

My transition to Linux came around the same time I really moved from a regular computer user to an administrator, so my learning curve was about as steep as it would have been if I had stuck with Windows. The motivation to stick with the old system was never really there for me though; the only reason I stuck with Windows for as a long as I did was because I had to for School, which later did not become an issue. Once I learned how to use a package manager I was pretty much set.

Now, my gaming was curiously well suited to moving to Linux as I had grew up mostly playing old DOS games and idtech titles which probably helped quite a bit, but it was not that hard for me and that was six or seven years ago when I moved full time.

To be fair, the assumption of large user growth might be nothing more than hot air.

Maybe it is because I know my way around already, but the only Wiki I find to be up to snuff is the Arch wiki. I was never all that impressed with Ubuntu's documentation to be honest, and while it's forums are helpful, they are not alone in this and I find it a little off putting for people to state that they are.

Plus I do not think Ubuntu has made that huge a contribution to making things easier, but that may be a topic for another thread.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5974, member: 1"Looks like Windows 8 will be quite the dive-bomb I have been hoping for but who knows will Microsoft do a U-Turn and open up again a bit more...i doubt it, they want more revenue and their own store is the way to really do it these days.

The thing about Windows 8 is that I have heard almost nothing about it during it's launch - virtually no news coverage or advertising. Compare that to the Windows 7 launch, or even more especially, the Windows Vista launch. Does not bode well for them.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 5958, member: 1"On the page again confirms Linux support. Along with Linux support the game will be available on Steam + DRM Free option as well.

*perks interest*
