Linux

[Delsus]

Well you need to remember, Linux is a very basic OS. It pretty much is just a command prompt. Not exactly a bad thing, its part of what makes it so secure. Its hard to compare to Windows though, because both OS are trying to do different things.

Also, it works out of the box...sorta. On desktops its mostly fine, but on a lot of laptops...not so much. Youll find a lot more driver issues there. Also, Windows has gotten really good at just being able to plug in a device, and have it work. It also will now find the latest drivers for a lot of things too.

Linux is whatever the end user wants it to be, yes alot of it runs off scripts like xorg, but if you want a very lightweight OS its perfect out of the box, however if you want an atheistically pleasing OS, you can download packages to make it look better, like compiz config manager, etc.

An operating system is used to manage the hardware software and provide an interface to control your PC from, nothing more, Windows just add loads of crap you don't need like aero which push the requirements up, they are doing the same thing, its just Windows is full of bloatware.

And I have only ever run Ubuntu on a laptop, I only ever get asked for to download my graphics drivers, and the only serious problem I have had is hybrid graphics, because xorg has problems, but the developers of both graphics cards and Linux are working to fix it.

Yeah, I know how it works, I dual boot Linux and Windows on my laptop.

I would like to know if SE would consider Linux FFXIV, perhaps include it in a players poll to see if there is enough interest.

I'm all for it! See how many people use Linux at all, and would like to see a Linux version of XIV, perhaps? Or something like that, anyway...

I would have Ubuntu as my primary OS if they do, of course I will need to sort my hybrid graphics first (been working on that one for months)
