Hey guys i was just reading about which OS is right for me and i ws wondering if linux would be right for me i looked at its sweet abilities and coolness but i mean what about games?? WOW and such?? i wana play my wow and steam. Which leads me to my next question. Can i have multiple OS's one windows xp and linux and switch when i want i was also lookin at sme youtube videos which showed multiple os's running at the same time on one computer but i dont really want that i just wana try linux or keep it if i can play games on it but if not ill just stick w/ windows
Give Ubuntu Linux a shot. YOu can download it at Welcome - Ubuntu: Linux for human beings. I've used four distros of Linux, and this is by far my most favorite. I can really tell you what games are available, but I know that you can play windows games on Linux. Im sure a quick google search will give you the answer to that question. To answer your second question, yes it is possible. Another Google search will show you the way of how to dual boot on your computer. It is basically a way to pick what os you want to run as you are booting your pc.
well, for someone who has never been on anything other than windows, how hard would it be to learn to navigate linux?
most windows games (especially DirectX) don't work on Linux. There are projects that emulate them, but unless a game is built FOR linux, don't expect on it working.
I'm using Ubuntu right now, and i didn't have any linux experience at all I'd also get automatix, its a great program that lets you install stuff that you will probably need, including Wine, a windows emulator. I use it to run flashget & Utorrent w00t my 1st post
