    Wine Is Not an Emulator.

  2. Keruaran says:

    recomment = recommend… :p

  3. Keruaran says:

    If Windows itself has problems that are causing it to crash and you don’t have a hardware problem, then no, the crashes will not carry over to Linux. In fact you can use Linux to access your documents/photos/music etc on your Windows partition if Windows wont boot. The distributions I’d most recomment for new users would probably be some of the usual suspects – Ubuntu, Mandriva & Mint are aimed at ordinary folks and are popular. Try more than one, use what you like, whatever works best for you.

  5. OSGUIShow says:

    probably not, but any system can crash if its not updated and setup correctly

  6. OSGUIShow says:

    if what you think was true i would have mentioned it

  7. STARjess14 says:

    sounds awsome but my computer crashes a lot will that carry over to linux if i install it and if not which brand do you recomend?

  8. PADRES294 says:

    I think it would be fair if you mention the disadvantages of running via emulation, such as lack of optimization and extra processes necessary to run games.

  9. OSGUIShow says:

    YES, Much Better, so much better I hate Win, never use it, and I have made 170 videos about how much better linux is than windows

  10. STARjess14 says:

  11. OSGUIShow says:

  12. OSGUIShow says:

  13. OSGUIShow says:

    I dunno I don’t have those Games you will just need to try it to find out

  14. STARjess14 says:

    i have a question will Linux run certain games like madden and the Sims? also my vista always crashes if i switch to Linux will that fix the problems ?

  15. OSGUIShow says:

    i dunno what your talking about you need to explain things in more detail

    also i don’t want to provide tech support in youtube comments

    please watch all my videos and then go register on my website and ask any questions you have there

    thanks

    i just tried it a minute ago it didn’t work but i’m going to actually look at it now. i shouldn’t leave it for the next update to see if that works.

  22. OSGUIShow says:

    have you tired it yet? did it get the sound working for you?

    in my other video thats just about Wine I show what I mean by this….

  23. fishy1005 says:

    i just assumed it was me not getting pulseaudio to work with all my apps. It wouldn’t have bee the first time. you have created a beast i’ll never run wow without sound again. sometimes sound effects are not wanted like the pesty gesture sounds that do exist in SL sometimes it is beneficial to have just Audio and media sounds Active none of that Ambient sound which gets on my nerves.

  24. OSGUIShow says:

    with normal wine u need to go into the config utility to sound tab to get it working

    the difference with crossover for games is they give a guarantee that it will work an will provide you with tech support if u need it

  25. fishy1005 says:

    i can’t speak for everyone but my experience of wine and games like World of warcraft are not that favourable when it comes to getting the game to start. Once it starts it can be just as reliable windows. the latest patch for example has a habit of runing the launcher.exe and changing the file permissions so it can’t be run the work around being to create a launcher which runs wow.exe directly. i never ever got in game sound to work but i’m not a fan of sound when playing WoW anyway.
