Ubuntu 12.10 (Linux) - Platform - Oct 22 2012
Since vista is running like shit and I can't really handle 7, I was thinking about Ubuntu. Is it worth it? Only games i really play is CS, WoW and runescape. I don't have a high end pc, it's from 2004 lol
Thoughts?
Try not to be biased

Ubuntu is a really good OS imo. I run dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and it is usually really easy on system resources so people that are lacking in that usually find it a breath of fresh air. The only problem is that as far as I remember, steam and steam games can't run in without an emulator such as wine. However, I thought there was some sort of project valve was working on, trying to port steam to linux. I'll have to check later if anything came of that :p

Linux will not magically make your system perform better, in fact with gaming it's very likely to decrease performance. If your computer is from 2004 use XP.

I used Linux once at my school. I don't think this is an easy OS. Bad Design though. Made me dizzy for the first time using it.
