That is good. As Mr Weak Eyes here, I have trouble with 800 x 600 screens.
I never could get X-Windows to work well when I
played with Linux.
Have they fixed the apps to work yet with PC screen formats.
I don't know what that means.
If it helps, I have a fast, fluid, 3D-composited, accelerated desktop
across 2 19" LCDs running at 3840*1024 from an old nVidia GeForce 230
here. Everything works and it plays Portal nicely, too.
PS. I play the
odd game so I need a PC.
I always point people at a modern console for an easy life. Failing
that, dual-boot Windows.
But more & more Linux games are coming. Steam runs
natively now.
I play the games I like, not what sells. Windows is good for 'click'
for your favorite item and games come under that heading. I have 'Cards'
for Solitaire , the better version. Linux is free so dirt cheap for
the new apps; that does not make Linux better.
