chaddsuk Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Why not give Linux a try , its free, more secure and once you get used to it it just blows winblows out of the water to be honest Maybe take a look at ubuntu to start with ... or the ultimate edition 2.5 package which is ubuntu based and comes with everything you could need pre installed...and all for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it also comes with free Accessibility options although I must admit the latest edition does not appear to work live like 2.3 did straight out of the box (i.e., the screenreader) as it is an area I am interested in. You can also get themes for this distribution here best regards, swarfendor43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyoHazuki Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Recently installed Windows 7 X64 and finding it rather good. Couple of issues at the start, as you'd find with any OS, but fixed them OK. Great compatibility so far with all sorts of games. Also using Ubuntu X64 and of course this is wonderful too, even faster than W7 imho. I'd recommend either of these systems to any home PC user.

Alky Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Is ubunto compatable with gaming? I am wondering if this could be a way to go to free up system resources? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Hi Alky, There is a raft of open-source games out there (there's even a distro called Lxgamers DVD that run's live. As for Ubuntu you would have to look at installing a paid for solution such as Cedega by transgaming.org or Cross-Over Office from Codeweavers.com - another one is PlayOnLinux - not sure if this is proprietary or Open Source as it came with my paid for version of Vector Linux 6.0 Standard Deluxe - and at the equivalent of £15 for a full OS and some Linux Games and Enlightenment a big difference from MS prices! Warning - not all games work on Linux - yet! Best regards, swarfendor43 Edited December 30, 2009 by swarfendor43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
