I am just graduated AIPOD 2014 in December 20th with a B.A I now have time and free as a bird. Since this is about other linux distros, then yes I can confirm, wish I had photo server, to confirm that a suse appliance made from susestudio.com can run leadwerks or at least it starts with relative few adjustments to the os. Mostly only propriety nvidia if your on Nvidia card the hard way. You can't do it the easy way. I don't have amd though.
If you want help with your games, I can model and animate, in a nerdy way at least I think I can, if your projects need a helping hand. I do concept art too. Send me a message here on leadwerks for that.
I am trying to post in proper place too. This seems appropriate place. I've only posted forums less then a dozen times in my 15 years. Please move it if you like. I've only made one other similar post copied to some other thread here. Forums have lots of info and its hard to rummage through everything.
