Alright well yesterday night I was really bored and had nothing to do so I decided I would download Ubuntu well I downloaded it and then installed it and first got it I was like holy crap this is cool! but now that i've read around I hear Linux is pretty bad at gaming and I cant play games Id usually play like Maplestory I also dont know how to get the damn installer to work so I was wondering can anyone tell me how to get back to windows xp? or can I even get back to windows xp? My computer never came with the windows xp disk it came with it pre installed im pretty sure if I need to I can get the CD but not the CD key so.. yeah if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it or if im stuck with Ubuntu can you atleast tell me what it can and cant do :P

Hm.. this is interesting.. if there is a solution to your answer i would download Ubuntu =p. Linux is suppose to do everything Microsoft Xp Pro can do if not more. It shuld be able to play all games Windows can play. It should be basically do everything Windows can do except that more virus will not affect the Linux system..

(That's what i heard)

:O If thats so then can someone give a good website to tell me how to do it all? xD and do you know if it will be able to play maplestory? (H)

Sashimi · 07-28-2007, 02:09 PM

When you installed Ubuntu, were all your files still on your PC?? If not just redownload maplestory or give us more detail why it doesn't work.

If you've never used Ubuntu or Linux before, you are going to have troubles.

The best idea would be to post in Ubuntu forums, etc, to find out how.

Also, most games ARE playable in Ubuntu, you just need to know how.

Voortman · 07-28-2007, 02:10 PM

Oh alright and no when I made the change from XP to ubuntu everything was deleted.. or atleast I think so.. I cant even get limewire to work

No music.

Yeah, in my opinion Ubuntu sucks. Had to mess with the files to even load the screen because I have a ATI video card. Also it lagged like no tomorrow on me when I never get lag in Windows XP and the windows emulators couldn't emulate crap for me.

My opinion is you should reformat back to Windows XP.

Then why did you attempt you use Linux in the first place?

You expected it to be a walk in the park, that's your first error.

Limewire should be in the repositories, or atleast Frostwire will be. You do know what the repositories are, don't you?
