Ok everyone who don't know how to use Linux don't comment - you just don't know what you are talking about.

It's better as a server, not as an all-around desktop OS.

The only reason HL2 isn't being written to make for easy linux support is because of the choice of development tools and libraries of the HL2 development team, combined with the wills of their 'suits'. But shame on Valve for not using any of a number of multi-platform toolkits to develop HL2. I really don't know that directx is actually the best tool for the job.
Just use whatever's the best tool for any given job. And be honest about it.

Look, if you've never used Linux just say so, but this whole pretending you know what you're talking about while simultaneously proving that you don't isn't really going to fly. [/B]
1) having to compilie downloaded software (!)
2) terrible copy&paste support, limited support from apps
3) extendible GUI? lol, try right-clicking a file and clicking "add to zip" like you can in windows
4) drag&drop, again i laugh - this is non existant
5) editing system settings from GUI - limited, most advanced settings must revert to using console

You can sign this petition to ask valve to do the HL2 port for linux and/or release the HL source code.

P.S: I don't know if it has already been posted but it doesn't seems so..

(1)You don't have to, unless you download the source. Most of the 'newbie' linux flavors always have binaries available.
In Debian, you can use 'dselect' to download any software without compiling anything - and it even installs all the softwares depedencies without you having to. Ever had to copy *.dll into your system folder to run a piece of software in Windows?
(2) Copy and paste works just fine for me.
(3) If having an 'add to zip' option is what really matters to you, sure, go with Windows
(4) Don't even want to comment on this one..
(5) Editing the registry through Windows isn't exactly easy. You still have to manually (through a text box) edit the strings. The fact that there's a little GUI box for you to type into doesn't really make it any easier.

This is a lot harder in Linux, at least that was always the case when i used KDE.
I have bolded all the beginners because I am not slagging Linux as a whole. I am just trying to point out it is not the absolute best for everyone.

Dude - do you even know how todays cheat works? Think not. They don't need or in fact I don't even think they use the sourcecode to make their cheats(hooks and stuff that it is mostly). AND the HL engine is OLD, and not as well build as we all would like it to be.

If someone didn't know how to use Windows, it's not like that would be an obvious way to do it, or even an intuitive way to do it.
etc.
Perhaps. Although from the perspective of the teacher (and given that 99% of the population are stupid) I think I would rather attempt to teach the drag&drop way of doing things ??

Well, that's true to a point.. BUT... if I was a teacher, I'd rather teach my students how to use a computer properly, and not just how to 'get things done'. It's the 'it works, so let's do it' route that's caused half the Internet to lag to hell and back because of Welchia, SoBig, Blaster and everything else
But that's another argument for another day.
Cool, I agree again ...
so forget I just said anything in the first place

BTW, I am wondering what is the best emulater for linux are whatever to play Windows games?
I skipped all the other stuff to get right to the point: If you haven't used Linux in a few years, that's almost as good as not having used Linux. The community has made a lot of improvements making your list largely irrelevant.Originally posted by MrD
Now, I will openly admit its been a few years since i used it. But as far as I am aware it hasn't changed that much.
Nobody's flaming you. It's just no fun watching somebody go on and on about something they're uninformed about.My original point was always that Linux is no good for beginners and I have no idea why people flame me. I thought that much was obvious and any real linux user would freely admit it.
Yeah, expanding your customer base is always bad for business.Originally posted by Ahnteis
It would be a great opportunity for LINUX, not Valve.
"Now I look back and see the errors in my logic and relise console work is by far the best way to have complete control over your system."
LMAO!
<Sarcasm> Console programs are the future! Forget about GUI's! Who needs em! 5000 complicated hard to remember commands to do things is the way to go! I think my grandma will finaly be able to use a PC complete and effectivly! Infact, we should all switch from monitors to the LCD displays that simple calculators have!</Sarcasm>
Yeah real smart buddy lol This guy obviously never heard of the word 'Intuitive'! LoL

Like the post a couple pages back said, if you've never used Linux and don't know anything about it, don't bother posting. You just come across looking like an ignorant tard.Originally posted by Adam
