Message: [QUOTE="jul, post: 165526, member: 210"] In terms of performances, as someone here said already "depends on your rig". With Linux you may very well end up not having the required drivers to handle your graphic card for instance, or even the network card if it's an obscure/weird one... For bleeding edge hardware, the missing drivers when it comes to the graphic card might very well happen, which won't happen with windows.... And in that case you'll be forced to use default drivers and performance will be shitty compared to windows. That being said, you don't have to settle for one or the other you can have both at the same time, some applications require windows, not everything runs through Wine while a lot of thing do. Make sure the machine you buy is Linux compatible, that's the most important part. Then you can make install a dual boot set up; partition the the drive, install windows and linux side by side, in that order, and then you'll be prompted with a message at boot asking you on which system you want to boot every time you start your computer. Example [MEDIA=youtube]YX1wl03pmiY[/MEDIA] Me I'm on Linux since decades now, I wouldn't recommend Arch unless you really want to build your system from scratch and you're quite familiar with the the command line, in the case of a DIY arcade machine for instance with an OS that only features what you really need to run the game(s) (no printer drivers, no desktop, etc, just the roms and the emulators and everything else is automated and in the dark, command line style). And even then you could install Batocera instead. For everyday use I have Linux Mint (Cinnamon), it's the better Ubuntu, no hassle, it's great. Linux is more a system for developers than a system for gamers, while ultimately, coding a game or anything else, becomes the game. [/QUOTE]
