Well, I finally moved over to a completely Linux laptop. So far, it's pretty freaking sweet. Once you get used to the "linux" way and get a little comfy with the command line, there's some incredible free and quality software out there. Here are some screenshots of WoW running in windowed mode:

Ubuntu WoW 1

The laptop has a pretty crappy video card, so I hope that I see larger performance on my desktop when I convert it over soon. I also found WoW UI Updater (http://wuu.vagabonds.info/menu.php) which I'm running using a Python interpreter natively in Linux. So far, so good :)

Here's so more screenies:

Ubuntu WoW 2

Ubuntu WoW 3

New Nvidia beta drivers, and a fix for WoW in SLI mode

The following is post off of Wowinsider.com (click the links!) and addresses an issue a lot of us have had with WoW performance recently. Try these beta drivers and then make sure you do the following:

From Nvidia themselves:

GeForce 6800/6600 GT: Slow performance with World of Warcraft in SLI mode. This is not an NVIDIA bug, but instead the result of a recent patch for World of Warcraft to reduce mouse lag on slower computers by synchronizing the GPU(s). This change is unnecessary for NVIDIA users, and particularly for users with SLI configurations.

For optimal performance when playing World of Warcraft in SLI mode:

* Disable vertical sync within the World of Warcraft in-game video options.
* Enable hardware mouse acceleration and disable smooth mouse within the World of Warcraft in-game video options.

Read on for more.

Moving to Ubuntu Linux

garreth — Thu, 05/01/2008 - 09:31

I've been screwing around with Linux on and off again for the last three years and I think it's time I take the plunge with Ubuntu 8 and it's braindead-easy installer. There are really only TWO things that completely required for me to switch 100%:

Will it run full Photoshop CS3?
Will it run WoW (and some derivation of WoWAceUpdater)?

Mistrbook, I know that you're a linux geek and you've at least had wow and an addon updater running for the last few months. Hit me with some feedback.
