Linux Mint Forums

Hey everybody!

For long time ago I've been wondering about switching from Windows to Linux. But I found some problems, like playing videogames (wich, as I can read, with the arrival of Steam, the gaming on Linux is starting his best moment ever) or running some aplications I work in Windows with (applications I supose I can't emulate here on LInux, like Softimage, because they already fail on Windows a lot, I don't want to know how they will fail in an emulator).

Anyway, after watching with my own eyes what is the path Microsoft is going to take on his OS, new versions each year, Apple or mobile phone like interfaces... I picked up one of my HDD and installed Linux Mint (well, this is not entirely true, actually I installed first Fedora, Fedora KDE, Ubuntu, and finally Linux Mint, which I think it is my final change, because I love it, as a noob/begginer).

So, here I am people, sorry for my future nosense questions!

PS: As you can see, I'm not an English native speaker, so I'm terribly sorry if I did any mistake on my writing.

Mr. Boat, you are more than welcome here! Hope you enjoy this forum and Mint!

sorry for my future nosense questions

Which future nonsense questions??? Not a single questions asked on this forum either is stupid or weird or loaded with crap!! Feel free to ask anything you want. Linux has some learning curve, i know it myself and still i'm learning Linux even after 6 years of usage! And the first thing i learned was: ask anything you want!

Your English is fine..

Welcome aboard Steam on Linux is indeed a big step, but let's not forget about Desura (Steam like client for indie games, many for Linux) and Humble Indie Bundle (pay-what-you-want for a bundle of indie games). Much fun to be had already
