Gaming Dengan CrossOver Games

Di desktop Linux, banyak sekali pilihan game free untuk sekedar mengisi kekosongan waktu kita, atau untuk membuang sedikit kejenuhan setelah lama bekerja di depan komputer.

Namun, dalam dunia komputasi, ada kelompok user yang memang interest, addicted dan kemudian focused pada dunia game komputer. Kelompok user inilah yang kemudian disebut gamers. Karena kesukaan pada games, mereka rela membeli hardware yang mahal untuk bisa bermain game 3D yang berat dan memiliki interface memuaskan. Untuk hal ini, belum banyak perusahaan pengembang game 3D yang mengembangkan game komersial untuk desktop Linux.

Karena kondisi itulah, gamers yang mencoba menggunakan atau mencoba bermigrasi ke desktop Linux akan sedikit mengalami kesulitan. Jalan keluar satu-satunya adalah menggunakan emulator wine. Namun begitu, karena sifat wine yang free, untuk meng-optimized wine agar bisa menjalankan game-game 3D windows secara sempurna di butuhkan proses oprekisasi yang cukup rumit.

Sebenarnya ada cara yang lebih praktis, yaitu menggunakan emulator komersial yang bernama Crossover Games. Karena aplikasi ini berbayar, kita bisa mencoba versi trail dan men-download-nya dari Internet.

Banyak game 3D windows yang bisa dijalankan di Crossover Games. Sangat menarik bagi para gamers. Satu hal menarik lainnya adalah, jika kita telah memiliki CrossOver Office dan Wine di desktop Linux kita, kita tetap dapat menginstalasi CrossOver Games secara bersamaan dan tidak terjadi crash. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena direktori instalasi ketiganya yang terpisah, dan juga direktori konfigurasi ketiganya yang juga terpisah di home.

Selamat nge-game !

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
