Slackware here. Im using the current release (with my own package manager \o/ ).

I have had never an issue with RO.

I use ArchLinux at the moment, but when Ubuntu 9.10 is released I'll be moving to it.

I copped out and went for Ubuntu 9.04 - 64-bit. Too lazy to find a better one out.

Got the newest Nvidia drivers properly configured but thought better of getting the sound right - Ubuntu seems to have real problems with sound on Acer systems.

One forum claimed to have the answer but it just destroy the update manager with an unrecoverable error so I had to reinstall the OS again.

I'll see how 9.10 goes at the end of the month.

NGD (if they read this thread) should be happy to see that RO is working on so many different set ups.

It's an Arch based distro, using KDE4 and a custom made GUI installer.
Check it out.
Well, not quite KDE4, chakra uses their own kdemod, a modular kde4 written exclusively for archlinux in order to improve performance, etc.

But yeah, kudos to chakra, really love it.

I use slackware 12.xx and 13.0 and I've not had any major problems, even on shit hardware: Sempron 2800, GeForce 2 MX 400, 2 gig RAM.

I had a major issue with the game stalling after one of the updates, but that turned out to be just a coincidence, as it did the same in Quake 3 Arena. Swapping the graphics card sorted it.

I have noticed a slight performance increase by running my x-server at 800x600 @ 16bpp - the screen is a bit small, but at least its playable. I also use FVWM and occasionally fluxbox, as they're very light window managers compared to something like KDE, which I think is slow, bloated and too "windowsey".

I've noticed something similar: full screen mode gives significantly more FPS than windowed mode. I also get fewer random freezes using deadline I/O scheduler instead of the default CFQ. YMMV of course.

Nothing but video card troubles - since the 1.0.8 update so tried some new drivers - big mistake. Managed to get back to RO launcher working again but video card problems are preventing the game loading - same old resource loading hanging.

Looking at the forum some suggest "use a different linux OS". Tried lots of the suggestions on the forum - nada.

So my question is which one works best?

I don't want to move back to Vista, but in order to play now I am going to have to.

edit: I have reinstalled with the most recent RO installer, stripped out all nvidia drivers, tried newer and older driver etc.
Can I ask you why you're running the server kernel? That kernel is not optimised for desktops and gaming, so that could make things worse.

I've always been running the latest 64bit version of Ubuntu, usually upgrading to the development version as soon as Alpha 2 or 3 is released.

Well 9.10 has been released.

I tried to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 - in short a complete disaster.

So I downloaded the 9.10-64bit, un-installed 9.04 completely and installed 9.10 clean.

Verdict - a complete success.

It is infinitely better than 9.04. 9.10 has detected all of my hardware (including my SD card reader), the sound works (something I could never get right with 9.04) and all the little gadgety buttons, typical of acers, work.

Don't see a great improvement on FPS yet, but give it time (and an end to the FPS-vampire that is special events).
