Star Opinion: Regarding the Linux Gaming
Linked by Steve Husted on Mon 13th Sep 2004 08:28 UTC
Games Linux gaming. Let's face it - it's terrible. Tux Racer? Please. Quake III, okay, I'll give you that. NeverWinter Nights? If you can get it to work. WINE? If you have enough hair left to pull out, WINE is a good choice.

OpenGL != DirectX

>> but OpenGL lags pretty significantly behind DirectX

Do some basic research, please. You're comparing apples with bananas.

OpenGL is a 3D API. DirectX isn't. Direct3D is.
OpenGL does not play sounds. DirectSound does.
OpenGL does not take care of input. DirectInput does.
OpenGL does not bake cakes. DirectX doesn't either.

Bah.
