steam has been working on it for over a year... http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/ but getting devs to also make a free version to use has been an issue even for a big dog like steam until they step up their game like ps4 (linux) did and pay them. I doubt gaming will explode on linux

[me -> [HADMIN] Nostradewmus >XI< ] nice work

I use linux lmde 2 mint 64 bit Yes it has a few disadvantages in the gaming world...but it also just works and is free of microcrap / apple track your ass BS. The best thing to do is see whats needed for the games you play, and things like direct x for some games can be an issue if they are windows / apple only versions. I play minecraft and there is no issue because there is a Linux game version.

dogs are mans best friend that's a paws down fact

did u reset bios to defualt ? also if the cpu cooler was unplugged u may want to put new thermal compound on the cpu...it might have dried up from the heat

Welcome to the forums Moxie

Thanks Folks I appreciate the nod even with the "not " included

This seems to be a common issue with windows ten.... https://www.google.com/search?q=start+menu+and+task+bar+stopped+working.&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS606US606&oq=start+menu+and+task+bar+stopped+working.&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=start+menu+and+task+bar+stopped+working.windows+10 that brings up the question is windows 10 doing something they shouldn't be doing with their free upgrade ? or is all the cleaners... free and pay doing something wrong my bet is windows is at fault using something to track your moves and the cleaners are wiping it out..screwing up the track your ass system microcrap built and handed out for free

a decent pc optimizer that isn't to resource hungry is CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
