Notorious b.s.d. posted:playing games on windows means spending a lot of time as a windows cj my gaming rig consists of a Windows 7 PC that I set steam to boot directly into big picture mode and plugged an Xbox controller into and literally never janitor. also I have empirically determined that the best linux dev environment is Debian stable with mate from backports. u can thank me later.

As ooboontu desktops are 3D accelerated Parallels have done the absolute minimum to get it working, pretty much no other distribution or even Gnome 3 plain desktops work.

Squinty Applebottom posted:it appears that thousand or millions of developers actually manage to use to just fine, but i dunno if it is the same issue I am thinking of, i.e. having to download xcode to get the gcc compiler just to use the makefile utility, then it is pretty annoying and why wouldn't you include it by default with the OS? not unusable just dumb
