Running Blockland V21 On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[boby4650]

Success! The only thing I had to do was wine the setup program and run it. Works exactly like a regular windows application!

Yeah it's quite easy, I have all my dedicated servers running on a Ubuntu box

Neat isn't it

WINE is epic, yes.

[Altiris]

Yeah wine is pretty damn awesome, it can run a lot of Windows games too. Back on Blockland, I ran a server with 4 people on the Speedkart gamemode on a system with a Pentium 4 1.6ghz and 240mb of system ram (this was on CentOS 6.4) and NO lag at all, it was flawless.

how can people stand linux anymore?

i mean, my pc can dual-boot into windows 8, and linux ubuntu, but i only downloaded ubuntu to see what it was like

yeah it's pretty cool, less overheating than i get when playing games on windows 8, but srsly how can you guys stand linux not supporting that many software or games? no visual studio, unity, whatever.

honestly, if linux supported more things, then i would so keep it.

Use wine

[PurpleMetro]

Use wine

well there's steam, and steam has it's own custom installer, it'll kick you right out if you're on a linux and the game doesn't support it wine or not

most installers i've tried like unity or itunes seem to break up and everything fails when i'm running them with wine

All the games I play seem to work fine with wine.

steam has been available for linux natively for a while now.
there's like, around 125 playable games so far.

itunes sucks anyway, get something like banshee, noise, mpd + ncmpcpp, rhythmbox
whole slew of audio players and managers.

once you know what you're doing, you'll start to like it more.

i admit i have to boot back into windows for like, 2 things, but that's it. only takes around 20 seconds to boot on my laptop.

i even have shader support in linux, on windows i don't.

What the hell would you need Visual Studio for? Most GNU/Linux distributions provide far, far better alternatives to everything you could think of.

this, on my laptop

Linux does support Unity natively, and has many IDEs, those are awful examples.  I've been using Ubuntu to learn sdl, and by extension, make files, and it's pretty intuitive with coding.  You even have a compiler built into the OS.  The only things I really miss are Photoshop, iTunes (because seriously, no one else provides lossless quality with a good range of artists) and a few games.

vim + cli-compile is best IDE

i've just been using g++ with sublime text's trial.
