Anyone play via linux? I got PS and FT before they were banned in the US to run under WINE... but any of the "web based" (cake, merge, black chip etc) dont work so i have to use windows for those.. if anyone knows a way to run them via linux, im all ears
Why is it absurd? Only 5% of computers use Linux, and of those, I would be willing to bet that about half have Windows installed as well. Why would a poker site try to use resources to create and manage a different client that 2.5% of people could use? Also, keep in mind that that 2.5% is all Linux only computers, not Linux only computers of poker players, so really, we're probably looking at like < .5%.
Dual boot or VM. I dual boot and have for years with no issues.
One of the reasons you run Linux is because it is free. You cheapo
You think those sites don't see you for what you are?

You do not need Windows to play online poker, I play running linux every day.it is absurd that everyone has to use windows just to play poker.

using wine, I ALMOST have black chip running...
Still no word from support, hopefully they respond.
Please keep me informed of your progress!
Am I more right or wrong in assuming that 'one size fits all'? That if you can get Blackchip to run, the other Merge clients (Carbon) will also run?
Maybe you would get better/more knowledgeable response if you contact the Merge network directly?

I might have to contact merge on this as I have not gotten a response. You are correct in saying all merge clients will run if I find out the dependency files.. ever get the "more than one client" running thing? all merge software is linked to that "script" (using term loosely for simple explanation).. but there are 2 more dependencies I am still missing.
Web-based Java is not the same as client-side Java. First, many confuse Javascript with Java -- they share almost no similarity other than both have Java in the name. As far as browser-based applets, they are so 1990's, limited in functionality, and quite ugly.But if the whole thing is based on Java,it seems it should be very simple for them to make a web-based Java client. Why haven't they done it?
(a rhetorical question, only they know the answer to that)
dont have much idea about linux , but i have mac book pro , which i had the same problems and finally i decided to setup windows os on mac book for my poker use only
the option is having both linux and windows os on your system
After dm making me feel totally computer illiterate, was rather hoping that skltlf would show his true genius and post that he had succeeded.
Still on the job, skltlf?
