Ask people who use high performance Linux clusters (where Linux has 85% of the market) how often that equipment is used for gaming. They say it is a waste of computing time. I don't see you combining Visual Studio with high-end gaming as well.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Windows comes standard with Minesweeper and Solitaire. Linux does too, but also with Sauerbraten and Alien Arena. Less know, but slightly <I>older</I> Windows games <A HREF="http://wastingtimewithmikeandari.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/linux-has-better-windows-compatibility-than-vista/" REL="nofollow">run sometimes better</A> under Linux/Wine than under Vista. There are migration issues with XP to Vista too, you know.<BR/><BR/>Finally, some people get employment by developing LAMP applications, which run fine under Windows/ISS/SQLServer too BTW (I know I've written some major applications for systems management for a large bank in Holland). It's not a bad idea to gain acquantance with that platform too, because you never know what is required for a certain job, especially if you want to work for the government.<BR/><BR/>Sure, you could use Mono on Linux for writing .Net applications on Linux, but personally, I wouldn't touch that stuff with a poke, because of the patents issue.<BR/><BR/>Sure, you can label me with any of your standard "Linux proponents" words, and I could hang the same label to you, writing stuff like "Windoze" or "M$", but strangely enough I was under the impression that we had a civilized meaningful discussion here and we not playing a game of namecalling.The Beez'https://www.blogger.com/profile/14718864828133872589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-2274789085595993542009-01-17T03:04:00.000+01:002009-01-17T03:04:00.000+01:00I take back what I said earlier, you uttered the u...I take back what I said earlier, you uttered the usual Linux zealot fare when the PITIFUL Linux games are mentioned "get a Playstation". That is nonsense. The Windows platform offers a gaming experience that exceeds that of consoles. <BR/><BR/>@Anonymous, <BR/>I know this will surprise you, but there are many developers using Visual Studio. You have to use it to develop .Net applications, which many people do in order to gain employment. <BR/><BR/><B>derChef</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-74610930043942317302009-01-16T14:00:00.000+01:002009-01-16T14:00:00.000+01:00@Beez Good post, Thanks.@Anonymous[quote]I persona...@Beez Good post, Thanks.<BR/><BR/>@Anonymous<BR/><BR/>[quote]<BR/>I personally feel that you left out a few of the problems that hinder many people's complete migration to Linux (the horrible audio situation in Linux, no support for games, no viable alternative to Visual Studio, etc), but once again, a good article. "<BR/>[/quote]<BR/><BR/>I personally have never had much problem with sound under linux. Yes problems obviously exist just like other platforms like Vista, and the pre-release of windows 7. Not a show stopper. Most issues can be resolved by the helpful communities built around distributions. The community of user support under linux is much stronger then windows provides.<BR/><BR/>Games are also not my thing, the few games like Tux racer are enough for me. As Beez suggests there are other options.<BR/><BR/>Why would you need Visual Studio?. The last time I downloaded VS MSSQL .NET versions... I used up so much space in my virtualised windows systems disk space, I thought to myself what is the point. MS software uses so much more resources than Linux's equivalents, its not funny.<BR/><BR/>Is harder to develop under windows from my perspective. A week ago I was working with an external developer at my work. We had to agree on a table structure. I could use my works very expensive MSSQL tool set to dump the structure into a text file, But the other developer could not, as he was using the cut down MSDE version. That did not provide this feature.<BR/><BR/>The open source Mysql database can dump the database structure in an easy one line command. We would be better off using MySQL rather then MSSQL, for ease of development. I know the external developer could purchase MS Visual Studio, but its expensive and frankly easer to develop using MySQL. No wonder most of the web is developed with Open source software... MS Visual Studio is not required and a hindrance from my perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-70559397506987975592009-01-16T12:31:00.000+01:002009-01-16T12:31:00.000+01:00Thanks for the article.Nicely balanced and stated ...Thanks for the article.<BR/><BR/>Nicely balanced and stated with the focus on using Linux rather than 'not using something else.<BR/><BR/>I hope it gets a few more hits.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-66191742964227050902009-01-16T12:24:00.000+01:002009-01-16T12:24:00.000+01:00Yes, thoughroughly enjoyed this article.

IMHO, it is more an architectural problem than a real end user problem.<BR/><BR/>There is support for games, like Wine, Transgaming and lots of free, native Linux games (yes, also 3D flight simulators, FPS, racing) but if it is your first and utmost requirement, Linux is not the best choice IMHO. Better buy a Playstation, much easier to use than a computer and a lot cheaper too.<BR/><BR/>There is plenty of development tools under Linux like KDevelop, Gambas, but I prefer not to use them, just like I hate to use Visual Studio. If you consider the amount of development that takes place under Linux, I don't think most Linux developers really miss it.<BR/><BR/>In short, I didn't include it, because it is not the way most people will experience it.The Beez'https://www.blogger.com/profile/14718864828133872589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813856659277593071.post-3215793542281594582009-01-16T11:08:00.000+01:002009-01-16T11:08:00.000+01:00This article was actually a pleasant surprise in t...This article was actually a pleasant surprise in that it didn't include the usual overzealous Linux afficionado phrases. <BR/><BR/>I personally feel that you left out a few of the problems that hinder many people's complete migration to Linux (the horrible audio situation in Linux, no support for games, no viable alternative to Visual Studio, etc), but once again, a good article. <BR/><BR/><B>-derChef</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
