Zorin 7 = Steamos?

Recommended Posts

Well I got tired of waiting for valve to release steamOS and installed Zorin 7 on my second HDD.

My avg FPS changed from 240 to 270 in source games. I am satisfied quite much. If you wanna give it a go check it out Zorin OS - Home

It's got wine and PlayOnLinux built-in so it runs most windows games.

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention I run windows 8.

Do you use Nvidia or AMD line of graphics cards? I've never been a fan of AMD's awful support on Linux, but it'd be awesome to hear if it's changed since the last time I've had a whack at it.

Never had an AMD card, how bad was it?

 

Enough for me to go from a HD 6870 to a second-hand GTX 260 to just test some things. Regardless, sounds pretty awesome how you're getting a higher framerate on Zorin :D

How can I respect a GPU if it doesn't respect muh freedoms.

>sudo apt-get install freedom

 

Also, the last kernel update supposedly made the AMD Drivers for Linux better, sometimes increasing them 50%. Source

But in all seriousness, its good to know AMD is catching up in performance. The performance before was just pitiful.
