Hi. I should have done this yesterday but i was busy ridding my Windows PC of Windows.

I'm a soon-to-be game developer as soon as we get some sort of alpha going. Im a huge fan of linux and the GNU movement as a whole (guess it must have been 2 years since i got my laptop linux'd). I own 4 (yes, i know) raspberry pi servers, One linux'd laptop for hardcore programming and a desktop that was converted yesterday to linux :).

Even more importantly, I am a Valve fan.

Hi, I'm ZosXaos, and I'm an Altaholic.
Meaning, I love trying alternative things, repeatedly. I've muddled in pretty much every distro of Linux I can find for years. I've installed, virtualized, and otherwise poked things regarding operating systems repeatedly.
At the moment I'm kind of settled in Mint. It feels pretty good, and I'm having very few issues making it do what I want it to do. Which is important, obviously.
I've been playing a lot of Minecraft of late, which is what brought me here. The server looked appealingly small, but friendly with a good chance it will expand pretty quickly, meaning I can get in before things go crazy and get settled, but then enjoy the crazy builds once it really picks up. I like that.
That's about all I can tell you about me. ;)

Hey now, Mike Frett here, Linux user since October 2012. Although I experimented with Linux since 1998. Leaving Windows was like trying to quit smoking, you try but fail many times before you finally kick the habit. With all this NSA stuff recently, I'm glad I did.

Not only do I use Linux full time now, I'm proud to say I've switched over several friends and family members also!. Might I add, successfully so, meaning they haven't went back to dirty Windows. That's what it takes you see, most people haven't the faintest idea of how to switch. They need somebody like me, or you, to set everything up for them. They want to leave, they just don't know how. You see, inside every Computer user is a Tux trying to claw it's way out.

How dedicated am I to Linux now? Search the local landfill and you just might find several retail copies of Windows, a Mouse and Keyboard made by Microsoft. If you like reading news about evil Microsoft and other Linux related topics (Even my own Rants) you might add me on Twitter if you like. Only got 5 followers so far, I don't post too much, so it's not like you'll be flooded by nonsense. =)

Since I never plan to go back to Windows, I think Linus has a fan for life. Also, nothing burns me up more than reading posts on various sites from users who put Linux down, even though it's blatantly obvious from their post; they've never even used it. I'm usually forced to chime in with several paragraphs. And let's not forget the Indie Devs and Open Source guys whom provide us wonderful Games and Applications!.

Hi!

I'm Mathieu, aka Strider, aka Strycore (where the Strider nickname is already taken, which is almost everywhere ^^)

I'm the developer of Lutris, an open-source gaming platform for Linux (http://lutris.net) where I try to support as many games as possible as long as they run on Linux (think PlayOnLinux but supporting games from the Atari 2600 (even earlier actually) to Windows Steam games, and of course every native game)

Hope to find here people interested by the project who can give me some feedback to make the application even better :)

My name is Dakota Lambert, other names for me include dlambert (ubuntu forums), koalaman (Tonymacx86), drlamb(College), ubuntugamer (steam), and n30p1r4t3 (neo-pirate) on twitter.

I'm eighteen, and have been using Linux on and off since I bought an "Ubuntu Linux for dummies" book which came with Ubuntu 8.04 many years ago. Since then I've grown a passion for Linux and computers in general. I've used about every distribution (and it's spin-offs) imaginable, dabbled in hackintosh and still find myself coming back to Ubuntu. I've been a gamer for far longer though, starting out with my GameBoy color and growing from there. I think I was about 10 when Halo came into my life and I really started getting into gaming more.

I can honestly say that one of my dreams jobs would be working for Canonical or The Linux Foundation.


I'm going to be studying Computer Science in the fall.

Hello my real world name is Jose. I am 37 yo already. I have always loved linux and the open source movement.
I love to see it growing in popularity year after year.
I am a spaniard living in the uk. My steam name is Bidermaier although my current internet name is Daifuku.

Nice to meet you!

Hello. My name is Rick. I'm 31 and from Manchester, UK. I ditched windows once and for all about a month ago, and am loving my Manjaro box now.
I have recently started learning to program in python and hope to be able to participate in some open source projects at some point, maybe even make some little computer games of my own.
You can find me on steam with the same username. You can find me on GW2 as well, if I ever get it to run at a decent speed.

Wow just noticed I never posted here, Let's fix this!

You may or may not have bumped into me on IRC, I'm known on there as Piratelv. Been using linux ever since ubuntu 06.04 came out and as my primary system since 2007. 
I'm not a hardcore fps gamer but I do play minecraft as much as possible. I hail from the little country called the Netherlands, just turned 20. 

I'm not sure how I found GOL but it was quite a while ago, since then I've pretty much become a self proclaimed sysadmin of GOL and manage well, any server that GOL needs to stay the best.

Besides my tasks at GOL I also am an active contributor to the elementary os website's and manage the server that run them.

Lastly I support a couple minecraft servers with my technical skills and a youtube channel for pretty much any game server they need.

That should be a complete list of what I do. I'm always on the IRC channel, so if you have anything to ask just stop by.

Levi, I think at this point, it is Minecraft players that are the real hardcore gamers and not shooter players, at least in terms of investment... ;)

Hey there,

I'm Mahdi, a young Web Developer ( 16 years old ) and I love Linux because It's not boring and I have freedom using it. :D

First tried Linux ~2 years ago, I remember Ubuntu 12.10 ( it was fresh and newly released ) was my first distribution. Had been using Windows 'till a month ago or so, but stopped using it recently. Now on Ubuntu 13.10. :D

Never saw this before; sure, why not?

I'm HadBabits (or alternatively Babits for short(or alternatively alternatively had?))

I frequent steam, love indie games, have been a Linux user for over a year now. I also do pixel art, I'll link my dA account if asked, but there's not much on it at the moment. Feel free to add me on steam for a chat, but I rarely do multiplayer.

Hello!

My real name is Jesús Isidro, Im 29 from Sinaloa, México(english is not my main lenguage), im a big fan of linux, this site is my main source of linux gaming news, and its amazing.

Favorite genres: FPS, RPG, MMORPG(cuz this one i have to dualboot QQ).

Nice to meet you people, this community looks really nice :).

Hey,
I'm David (as my username suggests^^), I'm 26 from Germany and have been playing video games ever since I was given a PC. RPG's and RTS's are my main genres. My PC Specs:Intel i5 3570, 16 GB-Ram, and a AMD 7950 (which is currently broken so i have to fallback to the HD4000 from my processor :().

I came here to get better news about games running on Linux as most big sites don't write about whether a game runs on Linux. Apart from gaming I design websites, run a minecraft server and study persian.

Love to meet some new people and game a few hours ^^!

Hi,

This is Yuri, From Orlando, Florida. I'm hopping great time over here :)

Hey there,


Billy Baxter from Massachusetts. Full time Linux user going on 5 years now. Love this site. It pushed me to make some upgrades so I can do more gaming. Besides Minecraft, I didn't play many games until the release of Steam on Linux and a recent hardware upgrade. I'm currently playing a bunch of Starbound, Borderlands 2 (Wine) and some Garry's Mod. Feel free to add me on Steam, I'm pretty lonely on there.

I don't remember well...


But recently, Faster Than Light was the first game since my no-more-windows-partition.

It's was hard, really hard... I only finish its two time in easy, never in normal in 100 rush... I'm so bad at rogue-like.

Oups, sorry, I think I was on this topic :

Hi !

Just Thom; a maths secondary teacher in France. It's a cool job.

I'm pretty in love with Linux since I discovered its for programming with c++. Now with template and c++11 stuff.

I don't have anymore Windows on my computer. I still play video-game. Recently, I really enjoy Hotline Miami (and OST more) and The darkmod. I still play sometimes TF2 and L4D2. I really miss Dystopia, and a few games... but not so more.

distrib : Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Archlinux -> Debian -> ubuntu.
And I'm thinking to go with mageia soon. ^^

But, gaming on linux improved month by month and this site is the one for being informed. Thanks a lot for that.

I'm sorry for not being still fluent... so don't hesitate to highlight my mistake.

Hello

Saying hi as I have just registered. I am a sysadmin from London running Mint Cinnamon. Moved over to Linux full time a few months back after dabbling with various distros over the years and am enjoying it very much.

Mostly I like sci-fi related titles and strategy. Just managed to give up Eve Online after eight years (no you can't have my stuff). Although I think I am looking at a new addiction with Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen although they may force me back to a dual boot system.

Regards

If you focus your attention on Star Citizen, might not need dual boot -- the recent CRYENGINE announcement means that Star Citizen should finally get a Linux port! They have been saying they want to do it for a long time now, after Linux made a good showing in their feature request poll.

Hi!

I'm Zapa, 23 years young. I'm a independent game developer that recently made a transition to Linux in order to offer better support for my projects. Been hanging in Gol's irc channel since late 2013 but never visited the forums much before.

I'm an avid fan of RPG's and turn based games. I also have an unhealthy relationship with beer and cigarettes. Sometimes I grow a beard.
