i am so P***ed off with windows that i could lose all the work i currntly have just to get it off with my computer.
reason? i couldn't list there is so many things wrong with the windows generation.
first off windows is very unstable and crashes often, poeple can say this never happens but that is because they don't push like i do.
to stop it crashing at the moment i have overclocked the proccessor to the max and it over heats regulary. i have enough spyware to give tell the whole us when i go to the toilet.
i am going to install suse linux 9.1(i know it is a earlier version but i like it). i was wondering if there is a way to get rengaurd working with cedega. i was wondering if i run cedega twice once to run Game.exe and the second to run Game2.exe?
cedega runs renegade very well.
does anybody have problems with windows?
EG: you have renegade running in the background with rengaurd, renegade server is up and then level edit wont run or windows doesn't even seem to try and load it or it brings up a white window?
in suse linux if anything like that happens like the white screen it starts a crash handler that stops it *IMMEDIETLY* not it ten minits or an hour.
also the multitasking on suse linux is incredible, nothing windows could match. although i need windows for 3dsmax i can use Vmware which is good and windows seems to be more stable running in it.
ill post a screenshot of it later when i have everything installed.

I'm running Windows fine, currently my uptime is 5 weeks, 3 hours. I'm sure servers are up for longer, but as this is my home pc (And it isn't very good, still awaiting my new to arrive), I think its doing well.
Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

nice.
would you be able to install it on my pc?(or at least lend me the disk  )
i used to run linux(suse 9.1). the only reason i switched back to windows is cos i put a new motherboard in my pc, and had to reinstall an os. i didnt have a linux disk knocking around, but found a windows one.

as i said in my post i could bet you don't push it as much as i do, i normally have:renegadeserver, renegade+rengaurd, VC++, HLBot, 2 or 3 windows for browsing various files running. sometimes the window bar(blue bar at bottom) is so full i dont dont know what is running and what isn't i try to close programs but i need them lol.
i better make this short, the processor alarm is going off.
also thing i like about linux is i will let you try to force it to do somthing EG: you want to write a CD and there is no cd in the drive. it prompts you and there is a option to force and if you click it, it will send the data to the CD drive to burn.
i am still in the process of backing up so i wil have it installed in about 3 hours.

I've been running Windows for years and have not had any "unknown problems". All the problems I have had with my computer were caused by me, and I know it. I have never had problems with Windows crashing, nor running slowly.
On the other hand, I don't see how you can possibly think overclocking your central processing unit is going to help.
And if you have spyware/viruses and other things, you really need to be more careful at what you browse on the internet, or stop looking at all that pr0n.

Heh, we all have our moments with it I'd guess. I haven't had many problems in a long time, apart from Nvidia drivers causing memory dumps every now and then...and I do push it quite a lot.
Anyway, in the end, it's not like the average gamer has much of a choice. That's what it always falls down to. I have about 30 games on my shelf (all legal retail versions by the way), and I might get maybe 30%-60% of them running on other operating systems with a lot of tweaking. Yes, there are emulators, and no, they're not stable. They also need a lot of tweaking to get the games working. In Windows, I install the game, and it just works. Expect this to be an even bigger "problem" when MS comes up with Direct X 10 (Vista only). I do have Ubuntu on my oldest PC, and I like it, but I don't like the idea of spending countless hours to figure out how to play a game.
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

like dan said, if you run windows through vmware, windows has major problems, all you have to do is delete the file it runs off and reinstall it. or, use cedega(it costs money - but i already have subscribed )

the only problem i can find with linux is it's lack of programs - which isnt too bad, and it's not exactly a bug, it's just people who create programs prefer to write ones for windows.

same with the suse generation

What's your point? My point is that you can't judge an Operating System when you're that young regardless if you know how to install it.
|
explain your point a bit more

I'd say i've pushed both XP and 2000 pretty hard and they have coped very well. Anything before them though is flakey.

I'm sure there's a more sensible fix than OCing, and as for spyware you need tools to protect your PC, it comes with the territory.

Nope, never had anything like that.
Some people just don't like Windows, just like I'm not a big *nix fan, but I use netBSD at Uni and this PC has been dual booted with Mandrake and SuSE and Ubuntu. I still go back to Windows because it's what im confortable with.
