Hey People!!!
So ive been playing with #! in Virtualbox for a little while now, i have been looking at having my 2nd partition a linux partition just not Ubuntu, seems everyones go to distro and with good reason, but i want something different :)
Am keeping windows for games seeing as no GOG games work on linux, well out of the box..
Anyways i shall be posting videos every few days showing anything i have learned and my thoughts/views, i just await the day i can run games natively on Linux and apps like adobe, although im sure ill find something thats just as good :) Maybe gimp if i can get a hang of its UI
Ill update this blog post when the videos are ready!
See you on the other side!!
I dont think CrunchBang works with steam yet,and only cs4 will work (under wine-or-play on linux-programs last time i tryed)
You definitely whont get games running in vbox (exept if there realy old) due to vbox only allowing you to add up to 128Mb of video ram.
You can try out vmware for free (for a trial period with much better vm options)

i will look forward to your videos :D
There are a lot of GOGames preconfigured in PlayOnLinux.
Gaming in a virtual box is not an option, as there is no direct USB support, it's practically impossible to play games in it. You have to install on the metal for that.
yeah i decided to go Mint,#! is good but i couldnt get half of stuff installed via terminal or package manager shame really, going to be using Gnome Fallback for Mint also :)
Any particular reason why, or just out of nostalgia for 10 year old desktop environments?
If you want to learn, but don't want a hard time doing it, and as you seem to dislike the major distros and modern DE's, maybe take a look at Manjaro Linux with XFCE? XFCE has the looks, but is a whole lot more practical than Fallback. Other alternative for Fallback is MATE, but that still has a few bugs that make it slow at times. Fallback is not all that great to be honest, it's really limiting sometimes.
I myself, use #!, i quite like it... I find it to be the most lightweight linux OS there is, My current PC I use it on is a lenovo thinkpad with a core 2 duo t7700 and it has the intel graphics chipset so no driver problems there. Is there another lightweight OS, is mint light? I've always wanted to try it as it seems to have update very often which is nice.
Sadly #! is stopping active development.
I would like to venture to get a #! like desktop environment on Fedora as that is the only linux flavor my company will officially support, and I just got addicted to the lightweigth, minimalistuc and clean environment.
