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.

I'm puzzled... Why the heck do you continue to use Linux on your Desktop if you consider it to be inferior, sluggish, unstable and that any application you use doesn't do the job?
Like I said in my first post, I have been asking myself that same question every day for at least a month. "Why bother?"
There must be some logic I don't get...
Me neither. An incredible hatred for MS I guess.
According to your posts, Linux on the desktop is so unusable that no one would want to touch it with a 10-feet pole. Should I ask myself what I am doing?
My primary Desktop is more or less unusable. (I'm on my Laptop at the moment.) X isn't as horribly slow on my laptop, but I can still see windows redraw and trail as I move them. It *feels* to me like a latency issue. As if my system is always 1 second behind me. For example when I click "File" in my Firefox browser, it takes about a half of a second before the menu drops down. And then if I trail back and forth over the menu items "File, Edit, View", etc... it's always lagging behind. I don't get that in Windows. And that my seem trivial to you, but it's that way with everything I do and it's really noticable and extremely annoying.
