        Yeah i would pretty much ditch Win8 if it wasn't for gaming…

        I also like lightroom alot I dont think theres a nix version.

        • Jackson on 15/02/2013 - 15:22

          I ditched windows 2.5 years ago, still run a xp virtual machine when for some legacy apps and hacking software that's unavailable

        • DavidFong on 15/02/2013 - 23:06

          Can't say that I have ever used Lightroom, so I don't know what it is capable of. Nevertheless, if you want a commercial Linux equivalent, I guess Corel Aftershot Pro, formerly Bibble, is an option.

          A 'free' equivalent is the rapidly improving Darktable (http://www.darktable.org).

          I myself use Lightzone on Linux, but that is commercial abandonware (but more than capable, responsible for most of the photo adjustments on my photo-gallery http://vkelim.smugmug.com).

      Open Office WAS as good as Microsoft Office back in the Office 2003 era but the latest Open Office and Libre Office are complete crap compared to Office 2010 or Office 2013.

      • Velocita on 15/02/2013 - 11:09

        I'd rather stab forks in my eyes than use Office 2013 - that GUI is horrendous. I uninstalled it and went back to 2010.

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 15/02/2013 - 21:48
          +4

          Were you using the same program I am? The GUI is absolutely fine, and is a lot more fluid and functional than 2010's. I think you're being a bit dramatic.

        They didn't get crap Microsoft realised they needed to start using proprietary standards so other vendors wouldn't be compatibile with them. Apparently 2013 will be .odt (open source standard) but early reports seem to suggest they've figured out how to fudge it up for other vendors yet again. Still theres nothing wrong with using Google Docs, do it for the sake of destabilising the Monarch. As soon as everyone is using a reasonable standard Office programs will cost maybe $30 for a good one.

      I've managed to change toolsets so I don't actually need Office. I use LyX for writing documents and typesetting, Gnumeric, Octave or Ruby (in increasing complexity order) for anything that I would normally do in Excel, and I just draw my presentations in Inkscape and run a processor over it to get something similar to Prezi. Whenever I need to actually collaborate with others that are using Office, I simply upload it to Google docs and send them a link, then explain that using that will mean it's versioned, real time and we can all collaborate better.

      I guess I'm lucky that I'm in a position to do this and have people listen to me, but I have to say it's much more fun/efficient than using Office where I frequently feel the need to break things. My partner still needs to use MS Office, and it's actually quite depressing watching her work - crashes, inability to cite in certain styles, things not printing out the way they look on paper, and whitespace just not looking as good as the equivalent document using LaTeX.

      More on-topic, thanks OP, picked up Journey Down for $1.74 :)

      • cannedhams on 15/02/2013 - 14:41

        LyX looks interesting. I wonder if the markup language is all that difficult to learn.

        Still, Word has such a massive installed base, everyone sends me their documents in Word. I dont think that it will ever die.

        • tzar on 15/02/2013 - 15:21
          +1

          That's the great thing about LyX, you don't really need to learn so much markup :) LyX does the vast majority of that markup for you. There's definitely a learning curve to it, but it's not so bad - I learnt how to use it while doing an all nighter finishing (and starting) a design project in the first year of my undergrad after I got very angry at Word. I've had to learn a bit more of the markup for more complicated documents over time, but overall the experience has been quite pleasant - I pretty much accept that I relinquish control over formatting, and just write instead.

        • DavidFong on 15/02/2013 - 22:52

          +1 for LyX. But to be fair, although LyX does a lot to keep the 'LaTeX' markup away from the end-user, it does have a somewhat different philosophy to the typical WYSIWYG word-processor. It is a great word-processing tool for those who don't want to waste time micro-adjusting documents, but would prefer to simply get their ideas effectively across to the reader!

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 15/02/2013 - 21:51

      …and its all over red rover

      Windows is perfectly suitable for the vast majority of PC users, so I'm not sure why it's 'all over'. Were you speaking in terms of yourself only, or the whole Windows userbase?

      She probably means that you won't find it on the linux sale listing page.

        It's got like the best metascore there is out there and its pretty old.

  • cannedhams on 15/02/2013 - 14:35

    I wonder if you'd get much of a performance boost using a stripped down version of Linux (kubuntu maybe?) over Windows.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2013 - 05:13

      If you are a new user try Linux Mint it's much more beginner friendly. If you are looking for a performance boost install xfce or lxde and your old computer with 3.5" 6GB hard drive will boot up and be working like a dog in no time!

  • chipstss on 15/02/2013 - 14:38

    Frack me, Linux actually has a respectable catalogue of games now. No more assaultcube for me

  • Andard on 15/02/2013 - 15:40

    If you signed up for Steam on a Windows computer, then bought a Windows game that happened to be also on Linux, if you then signed onto Steam with the same account on Linux would the game be in your library available to download?

    • ledski on 15/02/2013 - 16:17

      Yes, it should be there.

    • Daniel15 on 16/02/2013 - 00:08

      Hahaha. I keep rediscovering games that I've bought during previous Steam sales. Turns out I have a lot of games I never knew I had! :P

  • whinges on 15/02/2013 - 19:46

    Thanks for this OP!
    Will keep me and the kids occupied for the weekend.

  • OBone on 15/02/2013 - 21:45

    This all sounds great. I ditched Windas years ago and have been using Ubuntu since 2006.
    It might be just what I need to get my son more interested in Ubuntu.
    He's the only one with a dual booting pc now but always defaults to Windas so he can play games.
    But I'm not a gamer myself so can anyone suggest any titles that would be suitable for an 11 yo? Preferably nothing too violent.

  • Ventak on 15/02/2013 - 22:51

    The sale says all Linux games, yet there are exceptions…

  • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2013 - 05:18

    I don't think I've ever actually "bought" a game off steam but I do use their service for the free games they offer and I am very happy with the fact that they are offering Linux games now!

  • bargaino on 16/02/2013 - 15:54

    Must be a popular offer. I joined, bought halflife and am getting 10-20KB/s download. Yay! up to 1% now.

    edit: killed steam and restarted (on os-x 10.8) and it is downloading fast now.
    But the dropdown menus on the preferences don't work. Is Steam on Mac a bit rough?
