Re: Why is linux not popular



As a Gamer Enthusiast I find the console not flexible as my pc.
I like my keyboard and mouse and the games advance in high res, creativity +
have office programs, gaphics manipulation ......
So, NO, I dont find gaming console to be the answer for most of the people,
I hope new games developers will port there code to linux too.

3 years ago there was some talk about Silicon Graphics going to
create/export their "Direct-X" to linux, any one heard what happend in the
end ?
