| lolita said: I really love Ubuntu but I noticed a few things. Iono for you but it seems to crash more to me. It makes my computer faster but for what? There's not much compatible... For a free OS, for people who just surf/read mails, it's great! But for people who want more... =/ It's a shame though because I like the layout, the speed of Ubuntu... It uses like, not much memory. P.S. I'm not a computer whiz and I may be very wrong, but I thought about something about Sims (1 and 2). Linux is a Unix-like system and Apple is made on Unix... So why not try to make the Apple version of the Sims compatible with Linux insteed of Windows? Wouldn't the chances of sucess be higher? |
Do you mean, why don't they make the Apple version of Sims compatible with Linux? They could be thinking that they won't make any money on it....many companies shy away from developing for linux because it isn't owned by one bloated and powerful corporation like windows is - and the userbase is really small, percentage wise. (You could get into the whole chicken and the egg thing with that argument though).
-Are you getting any sort of messages when it crashes (or, do you have an ATI graphics card?)
I use linux for pretty much everything except playing games that don't work correctly in Wine. There are a lot of programs available to do anything you want to, you just have to know what they are sometimes.
Still, if you have an ATI card though....ATI's linux support is (and hasn't been) very good - ATI drivers can cause the X server (graphical interface) to crash - although they are supposedly working on improving them.
