The thing that gets brought up to me if I ever mention Linux to a friend is gaming. He's into all that World of Warcraft immersive fantasy and 3D shoot-em-up stuff. High-resolution graphics, high frame rate, probably only released for Windows stuff. I'm not into gaming, at all. I probably played Tetris a few times on Fedora while stuck waiting on the phone several years ago. Go back 20 years, I dabbled with Midtown Madness on Win98, with just about enough stupidity and fun to make it playable, even on my basic PC. Go back to the 1990s, and Deluxe Pacman on the Amiga 1200 was about my limit. Three different games... "Woo." (said very dully). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
