I've been using Ubuntu for... wow probably over three years now on my main machine. I got a shiny new laptop running Vista not too long ago. I can't stand Windows anymore, but it actually runs games thanks to both the OS and the not being almost a decade old machine so I've slowly been using it more and more.
Ubuntu's nasty underbelly is starting to show, which isn't helping the situation. I'm not too happy with Ubuntu post PulseAudio. Half-Life suddenly runs like shit in WINE now; emulators need cajoling to run, yet not all of them are cajolable. The original Unreal Tournament, a game which proudly had an official Linux client, now has terribly scrambled sound.
To top it off in Intrepid they went and broke joystick support, and are still in denial about it being an issue in the 32-bit version. |

I've been very tempted to go that route. I was worried since it wasn't the official Ubuntu sound thingie, I might be shooting myself in the foot even harder for compatibility though. That ain't the case?
Pulse does work a hell of a lot better in Intrepid than Hardy. Let's hope they make more progress, and the WINE team finally gets on board.
Oh, and as a SB-ty aside, anyone need the Linux port of Cave Story? Last I checked the site that hosted it disappeared. |

Here's Cave Story. You'll still need wine to run the config program, but the game itself runs natively via SDL.
I think I know what thread you're talking about. Every couple weeks I check all the major ones dealing with sound to see if someone amazingly fixed everything. |
