    Need help justifying a decision

    RIght now my desktop has a phenom X4 955 BE, 9800 GT (the 250X that I have actually performs worse than this card), and an old AM3 board. Now, I could spend 800+ dollars switching to intel, but that seems like a really big waste of cash plus I don't like intel. AMD never let me down so I don't...

    How to install Nvidia 341.92 driver in ubuntu?

    I am now using an Nvidia 9800 GT instead of my R7 Radeon 250X Core Edition from XFX because the NV card performs a buttload better. It's not even funny how it compares. In a game like rocket league I can play at 80 FPS constantly at medium settings on the 9800 GT and only at 30 with the 250X...

    For future note: AMD GPU Driver Recovery

    For the last 3 years an issue has plagued me. If you install catalyst then go back to xf86-video-ati it screws up and half installs radeon then goes back to FGLRX and calls it a custom or manual install and greys everything out. Well it just did it again and I decided I was going to learn hwo...

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Guide

    For note you are much better off learning how to use wine (in my opinion) and learning how to configure it. For the longest time wine was default 1.6.2 in POL and from repos then POL jumped to 1.7.21 but I was using 1.7.50 on my arch machine. Now we're on 1.9.1 and have DX11 support there. It...

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    I am an "aged" linux user. I have a few recommendations based on a few use parameters. 1: Do you NEED linux. 2: Can you use tools outside of windows for forever? 3: Are you going to play with stuff? (UI's system, system stuff, etc) 4: Are you willing to break and reinstall? If yes to any...

    P4 2.6ghz heat question

    TL;DR that shit is hot by design like a mexican apple thief. I can go on to say that I am a professional P4 user and that temp basically normal. I used a P4 until this very year because that's all I have ever had. 70c on a box NOT running windows XP is basically the most normal thing you can...

    [News] Insurgency Comes To Linux

    As linux gamers know, Counter Strike is one of the most competitive FPS games for linux, if not THE most competitive. There are Tournaments, the Leaderboards, and back when we were in middle school we all wanted to prove how awesome we were with an AWP or P90. Nowadays we have not only CS, the...

    POL Fails to load League / directx9

    New problem that I have never seen before until just yesterday. I have the FGLRX-Updates driver line installed in Ubuntu Mate and my card is an R7 250 X core edition from XFX. In POL I have League Of Legends installed. When I installed League in POL it was supposed to install directX and...

    Wierd Java Bullsand

    Sort of. Lately the installs for java haven't been done correctly so doing it this way forces all the files to be mad and put in the correct places, then, anything else like new certs and whatnot are downloaded.

    Wierd Java Bullsand

    I got a fix. If you have any other java installed then you do this line sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

    Get ready to shit yourselves: The future of linux compatibility.

    The thing this would do for me is that I 1) never have to dual boot again, and 2) can control all of the ping-outs windows wants to make. If I could still use windows XP I would a happy little shitmonger. Sadly I can't because of hardware. If anything, I would want to have an XP VM running...

    Get ready to shit yourselves: The future of linux compatibility.

    Heres the thing. With Windows in a VM you can manage what connects and what you connect to rather easily. I see this as a better possibility.

    Why We Want Native Ports Only (Gaming On Linux)

    I honestly think we may never get full ports at this point just because we are what we are. However if you didn't see my post from earlier this week you guys need to see this. https://teksyndicate.com/videos/gta-v-linux-skylake-build-hardware-vm-passthrough This is where our world is going to...
