-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gaming is a key area for every desktop OS. Ubuntu has the advantage of being late to the party and can therefore learn what to do better and what the others got right.
Some suggestions: · Disable all desktop shortcuts (maybe except STRG+ALT+arrow) · Find a solution for multi-monitor (show wallpaper only or deactivate) · Save monitor settings & restore them when switching back to desktop · Don't show desktop notifications (play the sound only) · Disable power-saving and screen locking · Stop none important services (max. CPU power) · Maybe set the messaging menu status to [name of the game] by default · Maybe use zsync to download game updates (downloading 1GB is no fun) Ubuntu depends for the drivers and games on others but we can provide a smooth game desktop integration by having nice defaults. A game can't use multi-monitor, thats okay, Ubuntu will display the wallpaper on it (no other UI elements). A user gets an IM msg, just press CTRL+ALT+arrow and switch to another workspace and answer your buddy (gamers will learn the shortcut quit fast). Do something awesome with the possibilities Linux already has (multiple workspaces) to attract more gamers. The message should be: Ubuntu is the most awesome platform for gaming and Canonical cares about gamers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQgH3ZAAoJEEaok1PPF4BEtrQP/0ijOMByaBkr25JAr0ymQe9r wnhs1behLLem0yh6rqa4o06rdo5+oX1daGMTJHYGvPh3AzAV+nB4uJUYzseqb6OL 8cT5nwtgyQno2QXgjkRE39eeFPnJt5+S6KAG2XmH7BBueLGa0UryRrHFPTvLOkyu VahThkxx0wC5shljRFkfOTy+KxeUR0GuY41Z6lJE9HHloyo9xNEI26sImTJPDRah OiIPOC/aNRhj6I15hA6G6+QNu3FiO3A0eNaEscPBbaFpoXfUBGxrz1SGkTsJe2j6 H/hY7voU5xcOWkidZaLreVFNnp7zmOhsgh4m2NQ+WwD5B0jPVasOV2vFyp0iKHHx YhhcMPurEniW5xJM1LQVWZ2SjF5eIlsAbyqz5K06nQAmtx5ZYyR4EYfPD6uGBFCM HojHZmLfM1q65KcJgzrYMd602Jy1sxb+mrpb+gqiKdTLqIjUV3CWCz0NFpILj5kk 5W5lAys4Ei2EeYTvXW+eQ9NBygZhE/WfA6+jCCBK4RjGuHttWog2BTXQ7HTWE635 Y9S7dhZTRRjKpd1xeYJhTiyXjBb4yGbw0Ra8rCB+jAEQjmb7lmbt3Sp9/CutSr6v 93Lt2L5V/YtjpkGXYJk7PeMySN7YiMFCoc7uXE6vvTnH1MqMzq3qy9WVXfccfEV3 L5VwiBayLrS7S81BP8/k =tqwS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
