Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

You know, this little penguin I don't actually particularly want is enough to make me want to actually try ubuntu. This is a bad place to ask, probably, but how quick is it? Windows 7 has treated me well, but sometimes it's just a little too slow for my tastes, especially with graphics programs. A half-second is a long-ass time when we're talking about pen strokes. And people always mention swiftness when it comes to this, I think.

i am surprised there was no valentine thing or brutal promos

I'm using it on a very low-end PC, but even that manages to run LInux at great speeds.

Can we expect another update next week for the brutal promos?

I can't seem to launch the steam runtime due to file space on ubuntu? any fix?

[QUOTE=Rageguy;39593962]I can't seem to launch the steam runtime due to file space on ubuntu? any fix?[/QUOTE] I restarted and it fixed itself for me. Restarting seems to fix all of my problems so far, except for not being able to click anything in steam.

Fixed! nvm!

[QUOTE=SockFC;39593805]Decided to install Linux. An ex-friend of mine reccomended it to me a while ago, but now seems like the perfect time to try it. I put the files on a thumb drive, booted up the installation... And I [I]love[/I] it. I feel like I'm on a brand new computer. I seriously reccomend it to everyone here. You can install it along side Windows/your current OS to keep your files intact. It's 100% free, comes with its own versions of MS Word, PowerPoint, etc, and hey, you get a penguin.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I might keep my Linux if I can get the hang of it. Might have to reinstall it since I think I installed the wrong one and get this i386 error. It still feels very Mac-like to me, and despite having used Macs several times in my schools I've never fully adjusted to the style. I'm still a Windows person at heart though so I'll probably use it more than Linux.

man. how long does it take to decrypt?

Been using Windows since I first learned how to use a keyboard.

I like how I got errors, and I still got it. cool

Could anyone please share where the actual tf2 game files are saved at? I can't find the location and Ubuntu freezes when i try to search for a particular file/folder lol. I need like the actual directory location .. so i can just copy over the files.

so does ubuntu overwrite windows, or does it just install itself? I'm new to this

[QUOTE=spencecool;39594538]so does ubuntu overwrite windows, or does it just install itself? I'm new to this[/QUOTE] It depends on how you install it. I'm using virtualbox: [url]http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox[/url]

-snip- [editline]14th February 2013[/editline] so i'm doing virtualbox with linux, and if I don't come out alive, you must always remember me

[QUOTE=SockFC;39594142]It will defiantly take a while to get used to, for me at least. Been using Windows since I first learned how to use a keyboard.[/QUOTE] I hate it when it's hard to get used to stuff due to how defiant it is.
