Oh yeah, gaming goodness.
Neverwinter works in Linux! This is awesome. I just downloaded the Linux client, copied the data files from my Windows install, and away I went. Saved games, and everything. It seems to work just as good as in Windows, just as fast, same sound and graphics, etc. This is wonderful, because it means I don’t have to reboot into Windows to play NWN anymore.
You see, my computer sits in Linux because it’s useful to have it there. It’s much faster than my laptop, so I use it for any computationally intensive things, such as compiling. I frequently use it remotely, for example from work. This means that, until now, I had to explicitly decide I was going to Game, and reboot into Windows. Then, when I was done, I had to reboot back. Pain in the ass. Now, however, I won’t have to, at least for NWN. I can take odd free moments and Game. Woo hoo!
