Day 9: Live.linuX-gamers.net

     Live.linuX-gamers.net is a Linux distro based off of Arch Linux (Arch Linux is a very customizable distro).  Live.linuX-gamers.net is a live Linux (doesn't need to be installed, it can be used without installation).  Anyway it's a Linux with basically only games for software.  I tried a few of the games out and they're not very good.  What does this mean for Linux gamers?  It means that they should find themselves a better distro.  It's hard to be a good Linux distro for gamers since most of the good video games are made for either consoles or Windows.  If you want a good gaming distro try out Ubuntu.  Ubuntu has Steam (if you don't know what this is it's gaming software where you can buy and play games) and it has Wine (it's not the regular wine it's a program that emulates Windows software like games for example).  A lot of Linux users also have Windows installed alongside a Linux distro.  Though that is often necessary it's getting less and less so.  People are finally starting to make gaming software available to Linux Gamers.  So Linux Gamers don't despair, Steam is on the way!
