What really is LinuxGamer?

Atharv Patil · 01-11-2012, 05:08 AM

I know that its a Linux Ditro. They say its for gaming and has some game which come along with the copy. Can anyone give me a clear idea about it?

So what you are really asking is...

Could somebody please type the subject of my post into google, and search it for me, because I:
A) am too lazy to do so myself
B) would rather wait around for somebody to reply on a forum than get an immediate answer by googling it yourself

Pay particular attention to the text in the light blue coloured box...

fukawi1 has a point, you could have just used a search engine and got stuff like this-

As linux is open source and any packages included in it are also open source and free. So how come the games in linuxgamers are also free. As per i know, gaming industry needs profit, so how can it survive without profit.

The same way all open source projects do.
People volunteer their time.

I asked it because i am surfing internet thru my cell phone and it happens most of the time that you don't get a clear answer. And i can't get tabbed surfing on my cell, so its hard to manage keeping up with both the forum and google. Anyway thanks for the effort to post the links.
