Also if you compare Linux and Windows say: Linux vs the NT Kernel.

Oh and, I hope you realize Unix does not support .exe /dll files, which means Linux won't.

You can try Wine.(Though it suchs)

Windows is technically a kernel as well, but markets the entire operating system under the same name. A linux distribution is just the linux kernel (modified 99% of the time), and prepackaged applications and GUI elements. Ubuntu IS Linux, but so is Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, etc. You can take just the kernel, and build your own distribution around it for a completely unique element.

As far as games, Windows wins leaps and bounds over Linux. Wine can run some games, but it does so using OpenGL, and compatibility layers, so you'll see some performance and graphical differences, plus a lot of times you'll need to do some extra configuration to make it just work (and even more to make it work well).

If you plan on gaming in any seriousness, use Windows. You can always dualboot Windows and a version of Linux if you want to play around with it (a search on google will give you a how-to pretty quickly).

ok that makes sense

This stuff isn't hard, people just seem to be afraid of not seeing a GUI.JigglyWiggly_

Sorry for the topic hijack :O yeah but Windows would be the best option out of the two, as others have said

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] You are very confused. Linux is a kernel, Windows is an operating system. Ubuntu is a distrobution of Linux, as in it uses the Linux kernel. You guys cannot compare Linux to Windows. Linux is an EXTREMELY expandable kernel, as in it can run on a network switch or a super computer. You can compile your Linux kernel and tell what support your want in it. It is very thorough. Linux supports the most hardware out of any kernel, WIndows is tied to x86, and itanium.

[QUOTE="bleedingsouls"] Jiggly, I'm curious about Linix/Unix is Ubuntu (Un-Bun-Tu) a good place to start?

FreeBSD, well all the BSDs are much more complex than DOS. Not that they are hard to use, just much more powerful. So is Linux, not every Linux distrobution comes with a gui. Usually in the install most of them ask you. I mean I love how Linux, FreeBSD, and the others BSDs, are not tied to a gui. You can install any desktop environment you want, and if the gui crashes, you can just go back to a terminal window. X11 is amazing.

Just make sure you don't run sudo rm -rf /gigatrainer

Oh and if you do, please do -rfv

Wikipedia never lies

Gamespot wont let me put a link in.

What about that link :?JigglyWiggly_

The link is there you just have to copy and paste it. The old fashioned way. lol. It is just making a point that windows has a kernel too.
