Hi there,
what nice Linux demos can you recommend? I have tried some, but they often lack libraries or hang or do not work for any obscure reason, which is sad. What demos run without hazzle? Thanx. I run openSUSE 12.1 which should not be too outdated i think.

Try wine.

i don't understand Linux, and I never will :)

i can't recall any. they're all pretty weird and not anywhere near "nice". stuff i do sucks also

Linux with its "OS as a DIY kit" approach does not help, the often-updated packages set is highly variable. The sound system is a legendary mess.

(But for science/engineering work, Linux and me, it's a love story. Go figure...)

plenty of mfx/kwl demos are ported!

Follow pista's advice - there are some nice native demos out there.
I even run some without x before using the fb (not from pouet IIRC - if I can dig up a link I'll post it).
Beware any that ask you to become root - I have seen that before.

That's ok, iq - I don't think Linux understands you!

Which ones would these be?

+1-1 is pretty cool eh ;)

You're talking about Linux, so -- none.

Variform was way cool. :)

There's one demo which is even in the official repos, afaik.. but i don't remember which one at the moment..

btw, "users which read this thread may also be interested in these threads"©:

Ubuntu & the demoscene

Linux Apt Repository

and this is where all linux efforts usually end with:
Wine: Using Linux to watch Windows productions

v3nom: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/bb

Gargaj: yeah, exactly that was the one i meant :)

Also: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amoeba
