> why get linux when everything i need and use works fine with windows?
I don't have Windows and I'm not going to spend my money on something I don't need.
Nor am I going to pirate it. Crime does not pay.

> Wah? There are games for Linux?

> Who uses Linux? Old people?
http://counter.li.org/

> How is Linux more stable?
Too many links. Use Google.

> As in more confusing? Ah?
De gustibus non est disputandum.
I couldn't even install Win98 when I once tried (not on my computer).
And I'm like fish in the water with Linux. Talk about confusion.

> Seriously though, Linux is like, Linux.
Yeah, thank god it is.

> Rockstar has this on their website but it's friggin huge I tell you.
That version is "Windows optimized" (or so it says on the download page), so I'm not even going to bother downloading it.

Linux is confusing as in hard to navigate and bizarrely ugly to the point where it incinerates my retinas then defiles my poor mind.

well
this was more annoying than I thought... perhaps I was thinking of the second GTA :? because this is quite terrible.
The controls are quite difficult to master
Grand Theft Auto and GTA2 are both 2d, top down view games... it's probably GTA3 (the first in 3d) that you are thinking of...

That's your reason to come here in the first place, ain't it? Nitpicking and complainuing about things you could've known before by just reading the games description...

You know what William Shatner said about the likes of you?

William Shatner is funny.

You shouldn't need to turn GTA in Dosbox...

He is indeed, just read an (intentionally) HILARIOUS Interview with him in german "Galore" magazine (printed in german, of course )... LOL

And THIS is just beyond words... I use to say "beautiful - in a VERY disturbing way"...

Try taking a fast bike, line it up with the very middle of the road, and speed past the cars.

ahhhh... good times!
