ViperAFK Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have 'switched entirely to Linux' in the past (a few times), and games keep me coming back to Windows.Truth be told I would be using Linux right now if I could get the games I play to run in Linux as well as they do in Windows (with as little hassle). If I wasn't A gamer I would have switched to linux a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadgeek9 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Now, I use Corel Painter Essentials 3 with my drawing tablet, I would like to know if there is a similar program in Linux that works like Corel (e.g.: pressure sensitivity). I know of GIMP, is it the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 14, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 14, 2008 There is Pixel. It is not a "free" app, but they do support Linux natively. It is still in development, so costs are reasonable. And I verified on their "Features" page that they have Pressure support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadgeek9 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Good to know. I know I am asking a lot of questions, but just 1 more... In the SuSE Application Browser, there is a "New Applications" section that will show programs that I installed a very long time ago. How do I remove this section?

Iian K Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Linux as a primary OS... If you want to go that route, that is fine. There are applications out there that are the equivilant to the Windows version. I recommend Fedora, Ubuntu or Freespire (easiest to use, and most complete).

Glowstick Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I mean, I use Linux 100% (no dual boot) and have since 2003. But if you cannot use OO.o or StarOffice instead of MS Office, then your applications may drive your OS selection. For such "light" applications (i.e. not games), you can actually use free solutions like VirtualBox, which comes with a seamless mode (3200x1200 picture). I'm actually using Word 2007 and Excel 2007 under Solaris this way. Obviously it's not a lightweight approach, but computers these days come with fairly lot of memory.
