Hi Dark, That's why I said I'm not sure if Linux would be a viable solution for you personally. You already have everything you want/need so there isn't any pressing advantage to upgrade or change other than security fixes and things like that. Most people are like you in that a computer is merely

Hi Tom. As I have said before I don't tend to bother with upgrades unless they do something for me. the only programs I tend to upgrade are avg antivirus and pc tuneup (for obvious reasons), and supernova whhich works out as less sinse sub version upgrades, eg, 12-5 to 12-6 are free, and main

Hi Dark Well, obviously there is a bit of a learning curve involved in using Linux since some of the terminology is different, different keyboard commands, and so on, butt Linux itself is not hyper complex. Conceptually speaking, the Linux graphical environments such as Gnome, Unity, and KDE are v

Hi Dark, Oh, I totally understand where you are coming from. One of my own major frustrations is that while I am a fan of open source software such as Linux it isn't always possible to find comparable software in certain areas. This is especially true when it comes to audio games like Shades of Do

Hi Dark, Well, that is precisely why I have been migrating towards a complete open source platform like Linux. It isn't just an issue of money, but the complete ideology behind the right to do with the software whatever you want. You can give it away, you can modify it, and pretty much anything el

Hi, I wouldn't be so sure of that. Remember all of the existing games for Windows were written in Visual Basic and in order to port them to Mac OS they have to be rewritten from scratch in C++. As a result since the new versions for Mac OS and Windows are a complete rewrite from scratch they shou
