Ok, is possible to play on linux.
I really tried but poor perfomance for now.

I see where you are coming from right now but you did misinterpret what i said, I've never said you couldn't run games on Linux, this is a quote of what i said 'if you use your PC for gaming and entertainment purposes then i'd recommend windows 10'
meaning that i recommend windows 10 for multimedia and gaming purposes, mainly based on that's its like plug & play, it just works. while on Linux you often have to apply several quick fixes to get things even working!
Hopefully you can see this now.
Cheers!
I hope both of you are happy proving the other one wrong.
I saw this coming from a mile way, windows vs linux. pretty pointless too because in the end we all choose what fits our purpose best anyways, whenever someone agrees or disagrees is irrelevant.
Right, however, you initial statement implied the same things could not be accomplished in Linux that could be in Windows based on the last sentence in your reply:
This implies Linux can not handle these things, which is not true. That sentence wasn't even a suggestion, it was a statement which directly implies that you shouldn't use Linux for these things. This is why I replied, because you were telling people things that were not true. Linux can handle gaming and multimedia/entertainment very well, granted some titles are not directly produced for Linux yet, but that will change.
Simply don't go making blanket statements on things you haven't researched or don't know anything about and I will be happy not to call you out on it.
Cheers!
Call me!
on a more serious note, let me make one thing clear - we aint all from Britain.. i might have used the wrong wording/phrasing on that last part. forgive me queen.
I am not from Britain either, I am from the US. So not quite sure I understand the intent of your last comment, I read it for what it was. Much like others will do. Thus my intent on clarification of the subject. That is all.
Cheers!
So, you still suffer from that problem.
Your first comment in this thread contained things like 'you are making blanket statements' and 'you are a fanboy' - you consider this asking for clarification? my previous comment was just me having enough of your disrespect and lowering my attitude to that of yours. hope you like it.
Cheers!
Out of my 279 games only 93 are currently available for Linux. A lot of Indie games and some crap (from Indiegala giveaways for less than $1) but also some good titles like the whole CS, HL series and even Bioshock Infinite (got it for $1 :P ).
Currently playing Trine on Linux.
just to update everyone on this initial matter, the problem is resolved. not once i had the issue recurring any longer.
if you have this same issue then disable any kind of power management from windows and plug your device in the back end of your pc usb to guarantee everything is OK.
Have a great day.
I run Linux almost exclusively and I have experienced the same issue with USB-powered external hard disks just going click-click-click when they're plugged into certain USB ports.
Because I could always find a port that works, I never bothered to investigate this further.
But do not think Linux is immune from this issue.
I think the basic problem is HDDs require a lot of power to spin up and not all USB implementations are tested for that.
