BluePanda Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'll at least throw it in a VM...to play with. Can't say I'd ever completely run a system with it though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Voted No. I'm perfectly fine with Windows because I use my computer (and laptop) for more than just gaming....and I see no benefit to dual-booting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalary Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Voted No. I'm perfectly fine with Windows because I use my computer (and laptop) for more than just gaming....and I see no benefit to dual-booting. The argument against running Linux is usually the opposite; using Windows soley because of gaming. In fact, gaming is what has held me back from switching to Linux entirely. There is nothing I need from Windows except the 100% PC game-title compatibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarWeeny Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Nope, as long as steam is Linux based, i don't see a future in it to support all released games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I honestly see no advantage to using it. I mean the huge library on Steam becomes meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'd like to try it but likely it wouldn't be for a while or honestly at all unless I have some time on my hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheGamer11 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Maybe in the future just to try it out, I don't see it being used much though... that and the only game I know that works is L4D2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Im trying it in a virtual machine as we speak.

bishop245 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I was running ubuntu at work but now I have a win 7 comp here. when I was using ubuntu I install steam on it and it had a few of my games so I had something to do when I stayed late baby sitting the ladies that do payroll. Now with this OS I may try it on an older rig just for kicks but who knows lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
