I have just took the dive into Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and have to say that I have found myself trying to get everything right. It really is a totally different OS, regarding the way you as a user must work with it compared to MS. I really like some of the things you can do with Ubuntu, love the cube desktop, effects that can be done with it. I must say that my wine experience so far is not going well. I have tried several MS games, shadowrun, DOW soulstorm, DOW II, and a few others that I have not been able to get to install with wine. I got Soulstorm to install but it will not load up to the game. I can configure the grafix but thats it.
It really is too bad about the lack of support for gamers with this Ubuntu, but for the time being, I believe I am going to take the time to learn Ubuntu and how it works. I even broke down my raid setup, I got the alt. CD to install with only Vista in raid, but could not get Ubuntu to install right with Vista and Window 7 in a tripple boot. Grub was just installed in the wrong area, or atleast now that is what I think happened. I am installing vista and 7 on there own 640gb wd black and put Ubuntu on its on 640 GB drive. I have been on the Ubuntu forums doing a lot of reading, but what has really helped me out is YouTube. There is a chick on there named NixiePixel that post's all kinds of really helpful things about Ubuntu. I think this is the first I have been on tom's in days, LOL> still trying to figure Ubuntu out.
