Noob Question Alert!! [SOLVED]

Post by lcfr666s8n »

Ok... Dumb sounding question.... Does Mint (current build/release) offer almost as much support for Adobe Flash, (Many internet based games, even sites require flash, shockwave, java etc), have a way to go from Ubuntu to Mint? (On a dual boot... Vista and Ubuntu)

Also secondly... Does mint run windows based games better than Ubuntu?.... Or how can I get them to work once I get Mint installed if can...


If this question is too dumb then let me know lol

Almost as much support as ??? Mint has the flash plugin already installed.

You should understand that Mint is based on ubuntu with extra's added and some configuration differences. What runs in ubuntu almost always run's in mint. NO linux distro offers the ability to play Windows games as well as Windows - Linux is NOT another version of Windows - it is a completely different operating system. If you want to play Windows games, run Windows, simple as that.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.
