Well, welcome back to the site everyone, I am a new writer here, and I hope to help you all in your transition to a better (in my humble opinion) operating system.
From browsing the site I found that we get a lot of comments here that say things like “I am not switching to Linux because then I can’t play my games!” and “Ubuntu sucks because I can’t play games!”. Well, here is the thing… you can. There are tonnes and tonnes of games out there for you to try and play. There are even sites and programs dedicated to getting your windows games up and running. These comments actually puzzle me somewhat, because if you do not want to change to Ubuntu (or some version of Linux) then, are you still using XP (or Windows 98) for the same reason?
For any regular visitors to the site I would like to apologize for the past 4 days when look2linux has been down. This was because of a problem with the host and I am glad to say that it has been fixed.
I am sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you
