Am I the only one who is playing this game on macbook (or Mac)?

Who need MACS when you can have UBUNTU!

"Ubuntu" - an African word meaning "Gentoo is too hard for me".

Someone once said. Not that I agree with it, personally, but it's sort of funny, no?
He... hehehe...


Annnyhoo... I myself use Gentoo Linux these days (and it's not hard at all). FFXIV does not run well enough via Wine yet though, but it is getting better! Not a fan of Mac or Apple in general, but I wouldn't bash on it. It works for some people, but not for me. At all.

Hmmm, I think that is all.
Make peace, and optionally love, not war.

Hail Linux! \ö/

Oooh, fellow Gentoo user. I only use it on my Gateway and non-gaming laptop at the moment however.

Wow I am surprised to find another Gentoo user on these forums oO Last place I would expect to find one

Edit : wow 2 users now

Awesome ! !! !

I can't say I'm surprised, really, but then again I almost always expect the unexpected!
I've used Gentoo as my primary OS for a little over a year, and it was basically my first Linux distro I ever jumped into. I had only tried Ubuntu before, on a secondary machine but I didn't really know what to do with it. I had no knowledge of the command-line at all, and felt a little lost.

I don't know how I stumbled upon Gentoo. I just somehow did, and the way you only get a command-line in the start seemed interesting to me. Reminded me of Commodore 64 days and also of the time when I got my first PC and some DOS-diskettes... it was fun!

For those who have no idea of Gentoo, you basically get just a command-line interface to install the OS from, and even after you have installed it, you are in the CLI as the desktop is just another application, not a part of the OS, so you will have to build that as well from source-code. The thing I like is the sheer amount of customisation you can do with it. That said, obviously installing it teaches a lot already and maintaining it teaches even more so it's a good way to get to know Linux, I think. Of course there is 'Linux From Scratch' for those who want to really dig in deep, and there is an alternative called Arch Linux that is very similar to Gentoo, and so on...

Many people seem to think Windoze is the only way one can do true gaming. The truth is, however, that it is very much possible to play games with a Unix OS as well. Even the most latest games such as 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' (okay not that new anymore but the newest I have tried right now). Obviously things made for Window$ do not run as well, or rather, they need more power and modern hardware is becoming more and more cheap and powerful as days go by, and the developers of Wine are working lots at making things run even better!


I apologise for the slight off-topic'ish story, but it's at least close to it! Comparing to Windoez, gaming on Linux and Mac have their similarities after all, I think, and thus I can say that no, you are not alone in this even though it might not be specifically about running playing XIV on a Mac.

Why is this thread 10 pages long

It's only 3 pages for me.
But then again, I have 40 posts shown per page... hehe... hehehe...
What. <.<
