[...] Files are organized according to the: http://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard It was also one of the things that I thought was ugly or weird when trying Debian for the first time, but it actually makes sense. I love the way updates are handled in Debian/Ubuntu or almost any linux distro really. There's a great package manager that deals with all the software updates, much better than anything in Windows or OS/X imo.

Thanks for the link, will check it out. I guess I just need to get used to it. As for updating software, I agree - the software updater in Ubuntu is great. Also impressive how well it handles updates of software that is running while being updated.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=434104 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:10:32 +0100 Reply by AnAkIn_ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-5/?recent=434104#post=433891 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=433891 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:59:29 +0100 Reply by AnAkIn_ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-5/?recent=434104#post=433879 Quoted from AnimaL

[...]im not sure what anakin was testing, maybe it was default tf2 on w7 and default on linux and he was getting about 10% less performance but since there is no dx8 on linux you cant turn off a lot of stuff that lowers fps heavily so when you actually compare maxfps cfg on w7 to what you get on linux its unplayable

I don't know if timedemo is really reliable for benchmarking, considering it doesn't play a same demo at the same speed between windows/linux. I haven't found any other tool that is able to do similar benchmarks. There are lot of gl_ cvars on linux that let you tweak OpenGL stuff.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=433879 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 13:17:01 +0100 Reply by Arie https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-5/?recent=434104#post=433856 Quoted from Alx

I still try to understand why Ubuntu does not have a Program folder but rather hides files in the userfolder (in a mess)? I also need to get used to the no .exe install procedure, but more software center / command line.

Can anyone report an improved framerate? That's the only thing that could get me.

[...] You can try out Sublime Text (also available on Windows) instead of Geany, it's a great text editor. But yeah, I miss Photoshop too as I've never got along with GIMP. :)

Completely forgot about Sublime Text 2, it's my #2 fav one. Thanks for the tip! Only Photoshop missing then, but according to the threads I read on the official forum, Adobe does not seem to be interested at all as it's such a small market and would require a big re-build, and Ubuntu users supposedly "prefer free stuff". Photoshop in wine is not good from what I've read.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=433808 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 22:26:35 +0100 Reply by MrDemetrius https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-5/?recent=434104#post=433805 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=433805 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 22:14:03 +0100 Reply by punct https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-5/?recent=434104#post=433802 Quoted from Alx

Photoshop is the only software missing for a full workplace setup for me on Ubuntu. I also miss Notepad++ (Geany works but is a bit meh for the languages I do) & TurtoiseGit.

nTraum after following your tutorial i get this error: Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glColorMaskIndexedEXT'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated. What should i do ?

install the proprietary driver from nvidia/ati (not the one in the repo but the latest version from the vendor site) that should fix it]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=23326&post=433772 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 18:53:36 +0100 Reply by Juniorsatan https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-23326/page-4/?recent=434104#post=433769 Quoted from Vaskie

Nothing.
