It's just that Unbuntu is getting better everyday but I don't think many doujin games works on it.

You should stick with windows then. I don't think there's any real reason to switch.

I used Ubuntu back in Jaunty Jackelope, and I was immediately impressed by the sources and repositories function, as well as the multiple independant desktops, and the level of personalization.

It wasn't enough to keep using it though. Not being able to run 85% of VNs and doujin games was a huge loss

Not sure about doujin games but 85% of VN is way too big of an estimation. Most of them work perfectly, but you might have to install ffdshow and enable native Windows quartz.dll + devenum.dll for videos to show.
I only remember problems with Liar-Soft games.

2hu should work. Dunno about DDC though.

It's called GNU/Unbutu you stupid person.

Then of course you can. You just need to install steam they have a way to make windows games work with GNU/Unbutu. I think it's a DirectX dll for linux. You just need to copy the dll provided with steam into the directory of the game you need to play on GNU/Unbutu.

Why would you want to use Ubuntu for anything but programming? Ubuntu's performing so bad on my laptop i don't think it's even able to handle anything graphical demanding.

All the integer Touhou games work fine in Wine, aside from a few font issues in EoSD (that were present in the original game anyway, the new patch guys are trying to fix it).

You can play NScripter games (Higurashi, Tsukihime, Narcissu) with ONScripter.
You can play RealLive games (Kanon, Air, Clannad) with rlvm.
You can play some old games with ViLE, or through your browser at http://tss.asenheim.org/
For some reason there's no KiriKiri/KAG interpreter for Linux, even though it's open-source and one of the most popular engines. It might be because most games depend on Windows binaries (DLLs) for plug-ins. Still, Wine runs most KiriKiri games just fine. Also, this page claims to be able to convert KAG3 games to HTML5: http://tyrano.jp/

Enjoy your Unbutu otaku gaming experience, OP!

Ubuntu GNU/Linux

Ubuntu provides specific repositories of nonfree software, and Canonical expressly promotes and recommends nonfree software under the Ubuntu name in some of their distribution channels. Ubuntu offers the option to install only free packages, which means it also offers the option to install nonfree packages too. In addition, the version of Linux, the kernel, included in Ubuntu contains firmware blobs.

Ubuntu's trademark policy prohibits commercial redistribution of exact copies of Ubuntu, denying an important freedom.

As of October 2012, Ubuntu sends personal data about users' searches to a server belonging to Canonical, which sends back ads to buy things from Amazon. This does not, strictly speaking, affect whether Ubuntu is free software, but it is a violation of users' privacy. It also encourages buying from Amazon, a company associated with DRM as well as mistreatment of workers, authors and publishers.

This adware is one of the rare occasions in which a free software developer persists in keeping a malicious feature in its version of a program.

Have you noticed how most linux users are either really really fat or really really skinny?

Why is this?

Thanks for the detailed answers.
So every doujingame/VN need his own program or Wine? That sound a little bit messy.

With VNs it's usually pretty simple. e.g. for ONScripter, you just go in the visual novel's folder (the one with the .exe and .nsa files) and run the command "onscripter".
With wine you just run "wine program.exe".

Reasons not to buy from Amazon

If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. If it's a book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. And if you want to send a URL as a reference to a book, make sure it's not an Amazon page.

Here are the reasons — plenty of them.

Amazon publishes ebooks designed to attack your freedom (PDF or html).

Amazon wiped a user's Kindle and deleted her account, then offered her kafkaesque "explanations".

Amazon rents textbooks to students with a requirement not to take them across state lines.

Amazon's new service, that offers you an MP3 for CDs you bought there, respects your rights less than ripping the CDs yourself. Don't use it.

Amazon's on-line music "sales" have some of the same problems as the ebooks: users are required to identify themselves and sign a contract that denies them the freedoms they would have with a CD.

Amazon's shipping in the US is done in a sweatshop. More info, including paramedics standing by for workers who pass out from the heat.

Workers in an Amazon warehouse and shipping center walk all day under the orders of a computer, and are forbidden even to speak to each other.

Amazon cut off service to Wikileaks, claiming that whistleblowing violates its terms of service. It had no need to go to court to prove this, because if you rent a server from Amazon, you have no rights.

Amazon's complex financial arrangements bypass UK credit card consumer protection.

Amazon squeezes small publishers. For instance, Amazon cut off Swindle sales for an independent book distributor in order to press for bigger discounts. (The article ends by promoting ebooks for another platform, the Shnook from Barnes and Noble. While that company is not as nasty to small publishers, its ebooks do violate your freedom in most of the same ways.)

Amazon charges publishers for 20% sales tax in the UK even though the tax it pays is 3%.

UK independent bookstores condemn Amazon for not paying taxes as they do.

Amazon doesn't just compete with independent book stores, it arrogantly seeks to destroy them. Independent book stores urge people not to buy from Amazon.

Amazon appears to treat self-published authors well, but it can unilaterally cut the price of their books. And when it does, the authors are the ones who lose.

Amazon censored an ebook that exposed how ebook bestseller lists can be manipulated (and therefore are meaningless).

Amazon was a member of ALEC. ALEC is the right-wing lobbying group that promotes voter-suppression laws and "shoot first" laws, as well as attacks against wages and working conditions in the US. Amazon quit ALEC after public pressure in May 2012, but I am sure it still seeks the same nasty policies that ALEC advocated and is waiting for a new tool to achieve them.

Amazon's tax avoidance means it sucks money out of your country's economy.

And pay the full RRP for extortionately-priced textbooks?

I sure wish the Takeda Foundation had given ME 100m Yen!
