However, making a dual boot system from my experience is not difficult at all, it's the first thing I ever did in Linux and had no problems, I actually made a tripple boot system just for fun. 1. insert disk Plug in USB stick, reboot. 2.Wait 5 minutes for it to load into the ram. 3.Once the new tempoary instance of Linux launches click "install". 4.The auto partition manager launches and asks you if you want to install along side another OS & how much space you want for the new partion, choose an amount. 5.Wait a few minutes for it to install. done. It's even easier if you wipe the original OS & use the full hard drive. But if you just want to use it as a living room game console you don't need to do any of that. So yes and no. disolitude said: "They best they can hope is to be on par with Windows a few years from now for all new releases." I don't get why that is such a checkmate against Steam Machines when the same applies to all other consoles. Let's just choose to disagree, it's nothing to get worked up over. |
I hope you didn't think we were arguing here as that wasn't my intention at all. I enjoy discussing things like this and I possibly get carried away which can be sometimes confused as arguing, but the my tone is nothing but respectful.
Truth of the matter is that I appreciate all constructive inputs and points of view and yours was great...
