Solve : Valve's SteamOS Beta? |
|
Answer» Looking at this project after my brother mentioned I should check it out the other day. I haven't tried Steam Yet on Linux, but might try it out with this distro. My biggest complaint with Linux and gaming is that until Linux is able to tap into the full POWER of video cards with an OPEN version of DirectX, it looks like the game titles for play on Linux are going to be scarce. My biggest complaint with Linux and gaming is that until Linux is able to tap into the full power of video cards with an open version of DirectXMany games USE OpenGL. Also, allegedly WINE supports some DirectX APIs.Quote Also, allegedly WINE supports some DirectX APIs Hmm... going to have to look into this as for I tried to play World of Warcraft through WINE on Mint 13 about 2 YEARS ago and while the game ran it was using OpenGL and so performance was poor. I was getting like 8 to 15 fps running it thru WINE on Mint 13 and through Windows XP I was getting 60fps on the same computer with 2 hard drives installed with grub set to boot select either or for testing. I also had the AMD driver for Mint 13 installed for the graphics card, so it wasnt using default generic driver for the GPU. I was thinking that if it had a DirectX API support, it would have used it for this game, but maybe this changed over the last 2 years or this just happens to be one of the games that there is no DirectX support for. |
