Meh... I use Ubuntu and I am trying to get it to run smoothly with WineHQ, the game almost works but stops when the main menu is present... any ideas?
-
The same problem is present with running RA2 on wine since... ever (and I do mean ever - I remember having it around 5 years ago).
I'll try to find which function calls are buggy, fix them and submit patches to the devs. When I have the time.
Also, good job on running Ubuntu! I hope you enjoy it.

Yep, I think Ubuntu is a good way to go. Although it isn't mainstream, it sure feels like it.

It's way more mainstream than any other Linux-based OS.

Haha, right, forgot about that. I meant the Linux kernel on desktop PCs.

What?
It's a mobile os based off of Linux and owned by Google, there are close to 100 device that have the os.

I used to run Yellow Dog on my Mac ages ago.
Might build a second pc to run Ubuntu sometime. Looks really slick.

I dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 7 on my laptop. I prefer the speed and customization of Linux over Windows.
It would be really cool if RA2 worked in Ubuntu so that I didn't have to load up Windows all the time. Whenever I load RA2 in wine, it always has to switch the number of "Users" to 0 (which doesn't make any sense to me) before it will get stuck in the main menu. Wine doesn't appear to be translating the system mouse's direct input correctly.

I got to say though, Ubuntu is a really cool os and I believe having the taskbar sorted more fluently and having a built in app center really gets my juices flowing.

Ubuntu is pretty cool for mobile................

Ubuntu is desktop only, not mobile. Android is it's mobile counterpart-ish.

Why and no. Ubuntu would be great as probably a tablet DEVICE (I stay away from saying pc because you and I both know that a net book sized touchscreen running iOS isn't a f**king pc) it would be great because I find with most tablets, bloatware and Ubuntu pretty much has none of it.
-
Ubuntu is pretty bloated when compared to other distributions, like Debian or Arch.
-
True but when compared to Mac OSX and Windows 7, I am pretty happy with pre-installed software.

sorry I hate OSX

Nothing wrong with it other than lack of affordable desktop hardware and Apple's semi-annoying software restrictions.

sorry I hate OSX
Hate is a strong word. Also, have you ever used OS X? It's a nice little os, built on BSD, yet it has eye candy and is really user-friendly. And its kernel, XNU, is pretty sweet too.

sorry I hate OSX
How do you know?

Because he read so on the interwebz. And because it doesn't run games!

Apple is the Graphic Design industry standard down here, I love my windows for games and such but when it comes to graphic work a Mac is so much better with programs.. I wished I owned my own one :gawe:

Hell, my PowerMac G3 still does a decent job of running Photoshop.
