For All You Nerds Out There · 10:09pm Oct 23rd, 2015
Read below if you want to hear something nerdy.
Omg! My computer (a 10ish year old dell) FINALLY updated! Before I was running Xubuntu 10.04 (a really old OS that wouldn't update so none of my apps worked and everything was super slow...) and I got Linux Pearl! For those of you that might not know this, I'm a huge Apple fan. I don't like PCs. (I like Linux. :3) Linux Pearl is a free OS for PCs that looks and runs like a Mac! It's the cheap way of getting a "Mac". Heck, it works for me. I'm so excited! I'm all updated and after weeks of trying new things we finally got it downloaded! So now I can do my art since my apps work now!!!

Wow, that's awesome!
Heh, I'm currently running vista on a some odd number years old PC, which I can barely even watch youtube videos in 480 with 2 gig ram, single core, and some old really outdated dusty grafix card.
3491696 TWIST!
3491786 Ouch. Pearl is free, you've just gotta download the OS onto a DVD and rewrite another drive using it. That's what I did. Just don't rewrite your existing drive... You'll loose everything.

Personally, the only reason I still use PC, is because I have a high end one, and most of my games are for PC.
If they weren't, I would use Linux Mint, or Ubuntu as mine. Those are the one's i'm familiar with most.
3492248 I almost got Mint but being the "I love shiny Macs" person I am, I got Pearl. Pear looks more like a Mac, but I liked the way Pearl ran.
3492268 How did it run?
3492305 It was pretty smooth. I just didn't like a few minor things (example- on Pearl and a Mac when the mouse isn't on the dock it fades. On Pear it didn't go away.) But it's nice besides that and, like I said, minor things that can be debated.
3492330 That's understandable. As long as they weren't major stuff.
3492330 But as I said, if I ever do go to linux I need:
1. a good selection of games
2. Able to run some windows games on Linux flawlessly
3. For the system to be stable.
I can give up a good amount of things just so I can make the switch; however, some things need to stay.
3492375 Yeah. PCs are good for gamers. I don't do that- I'm more into art and video making, so Mac is my best choice. Linux works fine for that. but yeah, they need more games.
3492380 I know Playonlinux is a program that supports a lot of games, however, my concern is that when one game updates, I may have to wait for PoL to update.
3492391 True.
3492395 Still, Nice to talk to another Linux user.
3492405 Yesh~ Linux humans!
3492426 Yes~

Meh, it works, somehow. And I rather windows over apple OS anyway
so, you can do your art now, hm? I may have some ideas...
3495936 Yay!
