[QUOTE=Van-man;17432346]Excuse me, but DirectX is made by Microsoft, for Microsoft products. you'll never get DirectX to work under linux 100% as it does under windows. Granted most games are supported with little to no slowdown, but it's still not optimal for a rookie end-user. [editline]11:30AM[/editline] Also Trolling =/= honest opinion[/QUOTE] I know that, but stating the obvious is just pretty damn stupid to do. Games need to start supporting OpenGL next to DirectX
Counter-Strike 1.6 runs perfect on my netbook thanks to OpenGL-support. Do you think this distro will be available in hell? The censorship down there is pretty horrid. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqysNHX5-NQ[/media]

[QUOTE=Van-man;17433421]Still doesn't justify labeling me as a troll :colbert: That's up to the game developers. nothing the average computer user can control :sigh:[/QUOTE] Yes it is, ofcourse it is, you think Microsoft would give away the DirectX source?
[QUOTE=Denzo;17433659]you think Microsoft would give away the DirectX source?[/QUOTE] Is this a trick question?? We all know the answer would include either No, Never, or a combination of those 2

[QUOTE=compwhizii;17434269]So?[/QUOTE] so what??
[QUOTE=Van-man;17434320]so what??[/QUOTE] You think we don't realize that we won't have DirectX
That's a non-trollish, alright point Van-man. But, DirectX? To be honest, I don't think anybody using products outside of the Windows ecosystem cares. OpenGL is solely used (albeit loosely sometimes) on the Wii, PS3, iPhone, Linux, DS, etc. It is a very strong graphics library. I am not saying DirectX is inferior, which it is not, but saying it is the end-all be-all graphics library is very ignorant.
[QUOTE=compwhizii;17435399]You think we don't realize that we won't have DirectX[/QUOTE] I was just reminding Turbis2 that DirectX + Linux is possible, just not something for a rookie computer user. It takes alot of fine tuning to just getting it to run reasonably. Even though Wine and Wine-Doors have removed some of the obstacles.
[QUOTE=birkett;17432465]what is it with people stating a fact or opinion and being branded a troll? srsly, wtf.[/QUOTE] because half the people don't know what it means and just bandwagon
[QUOTE=efeX;17436536]because half the people don't know what it means and just bandwagon[/QUOTE] That means they're a troll?

Well, it was running NT. Can't complain.
Do something useful instead of thread shitting. Ill bump it when theres something to announce.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;17486391]But... off-topicness is what keeps threads alive... :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Yet it disappoints me every time i see a new post, and it turns out to be a shitpost See example here: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=17486142&postcount=801[/url]
So can I shitpost [I]if[/I] I include something useful in the post?
How about you don't post anything at all.
Okay.
Stop shitposting now.
I hope this is not a shitpost: In most Debian systems and Debian derivatives, the vim package is installed, by default. But often it's vim-tiny, a micro version of vim that lacks features (like smartindent and syntax highlighting). To install vim-full: $sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny $sudo apt-get install vim-full
Already added that patch to the installer. Base install should now have vim-full as default.
Is there a build yet? Don't really want to search through pages.
