You can try out various Linux operating systems without installing Linux on your PC. That's because most Linux distributions are available on "live CD" - software you can download, copy to a CD, then run directly from that disk without ever touching your hard drive. If you like it, you can then install it on the hard drive. You can get a comprehensive list of distributions, along with reviews, at distrowatch.com.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
I have it on my iPod, I have it on my PS3, I have it on my XBOX, and I have it on one of my computers. The possibilities you have with Linux are vast.
Since this is a gaming website I will say this:
Not many games are available for Linux, yet. I am sure the library will grow, in the future. If you're a PC gamer I don't suggest this. If you're just a user and want more out of your PC you'll find that Linux will be the fix you crave.
i just installed ubuntu to my friends laptop because his windows was completely destroyed so i told him to install ubuntu because his laptop is ancient and its safer. i aint trying to bash windows i am a big windows supporter and i use vista but when it comes to security linux is better. if linux was the standard then it might be under attack a lot more but its not so i told him to use ubuntu because he does not game and he just uses it for web surfing. i use ubuntu to learn more about computers.
You can run Windows based games on Linux through programs like WINE and Cedega, not perfect of course as you will loose a little bit of performance but even new games like Left 4 Dead, CoD4 etc run on Cedega. If you have a pretty good system and dislike Windows enough its an option.
