linux + games = depends.

linux + ALL games = no.

some games work, some dont. most need other programs in order to work, and still need to be tweaked. its a constant affair of tweaking to get certain ones to work.

Thanks guys, I actually have ubuntu loaded on one of my backup PCs, I gave in and went and bought Windows xp again. So my main pc will be back to its old self.

I might play with linux sometime, but I got xp on that comp as well. So we'll see if I ever get time.

Appreciate all the comments tho.

why not try dual booting? when your bored and feel like tinkering you can just switch over to linux. or if you cant get certain games to work in linux, you can just switch over to xp.
