yordan 10 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 Sorry, but... what is Steam? I know that if I put heat on water at one end of a pipe, I get steam at the other end, but is that what you are talking about ? 1 Ahsaniqbalkmc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with the appearance of Distros like Ubuntu 13 and Linux Mint 15 which are so easy to use, Linux will surely get into the mainstream... And all the monoply of the big tech giants going on in the background, I don't think gamin is going to be good on linux anytime soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahsaniqbalkmc 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2013 Wow! seems very interesting... But in my previous post, I wanted to compare gaming on a linux PC and Gaming on a windows PC (the emphasis being on PC). Dedicated consoles are good but they are more commonly used by gamers who take their gaming seriously (at least in my country).. Normally people use their PC for occasional gaming. And it is these people that make the masses. So if a common Linux OS (say ubuntu) somehow get the same gaming support as Windows, then I am pretty sure that Linux will see many new Users..

yordan 10 Report post Posted November 11, 2013 I know a lot of people using their Windows PC first for gaming, secondly for text processing, and third for surfing on the web. And if you have a look at each new game arriving on the market, you will probably see the company advertising first for the console, secondly for Windows PC, and probably they will forget porting on Linux. Simply because a lot of family PC's are nowadays sold with Microsoft Windows installed, and need almost nothing to be done by a child for installing a game from the CD reader.
