Start with finding a suitable distribution.

Slackware since 1996,
Slackware for the years to come,
Slackware all the way!

#ifndef _FILE_NAME_H_
#define _FILE_NAME_H_

Shouldn't you learn the language and how to use the compiler *before* trying to write games with it?

For example in eve there are fights of 1000vs1000 +5*2000 fight drones +misles.
1. Leadwerks is not Carbon.
2. You don't see anything at all in that mess!
3. EVE is space. No terrain or anything.
4. That happens under 10% TiDi...
5. Unless you have carriers on field, there won't be anywhere near that much drones..

Thomas, it would be helpful if you explained exactly what aspect of his argument you disagree with.
As you wish.
The Good
POSIX termial, mac also has this, it is the increadibly powerful terminal you can use to search through and administer your system, like concatonating your code and searching through it all at once, there are a variety of powerful terminal programs that can help you do things such as batch image resizing that are simply much faster and friendlier than windows.
What you mean is a 'shell'. And there is not only one. While bash (Bourne Again Shell, an enhancement of the sh, Bourne Shell) is the most common used, there are others like ksh, zsh, csh and tcsh (my favorite). They all differ in capabilities and syntax.
The 'terminal programs' you were mentioning, are either shell-builtins or CLI-tools.
The Bad
Sometimes you have to make a sacrifice to run Linux, Gimp is not quite as good as Photoshop, you don't have the same access to proprietary software, blender however is terrific on linux,
Photoshop is just more user-friendly. And for the proprietary software-part: For everything we could possibly, there is a open-source project already available. Also, proprietary developers tend to follow their own rules instead of the standards we have set in place (and yes, we hate them for it. Therefore we don't buy or use their ****.)
drivers can be a real issue to, to quote Linus, the father of linux, "Nvidia, **** you!".
He made that comment as response to NVIDIA's lack of NVIDIA OPTIMUS support in their closed-source driver (which every sane user isn't using anyway.. Unless he *really* needs the performance or he simply doesn't care about giving untrustworthy code full control over his PC).
As a new user you will have a burden of choice when it comes to what distribution you want, as a new user, you should probably just get ubuntu 13.04, xubuntu is good to, the interface is more like windows, I'd recommend xubuntu to a new user, linux mint is particularly good to.
Canonical is going the same way that Microsoft went.. Downwards.. They're equally stupid and do the same bad decisions.
Unity and Mir are just 2 examples.
I made the somewhat poor descision to use Arch linux because it is favoured by linux-enthusiasts for its marginal speed performances and customizability, but in reality, its a pain in the neckCanonical is holding your hand, just like Microsoft does. Don't expect that from every distribution. Especially not one which is aimed at professionals that know what they're doing.
The OS already has enough problems with drivers as it is without needing to make the problem worse.
It's true that not every kind of exotic hardware is supported, but when I compare the current situation to the situation 10 years ago.. Driver problems are far less common than they used to be and it's getting better every day.
Fedora, Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo, don't even look at them.
Just because you're unable to work with any distribution but Ubuntu (or a derivative from it) doesn't mean that other people can't do that either.

Edit: Took a while to get back to this, and now I lost the line anyway.

I made the somewhat poor descision to use Arch linux because it is favoured by linux-enthusiasts for its marginal speed performances and customizability, but in reality, its a pain in the neck, I have trouble navigating between different hard drives, getting my phone to connect to my pc or running ad-hoc drivers. The OS allready has enough problems with drivers as it is without needing to make the problem worse.
If you're going to install Linux onto a laptop, do a search on linux/ubuntu in relation to that laptop.
Dont go for any obscure distros, really, go with the newest (non-beta) ubuntu or xubuntu, then you shouldn't have problems. Fedora, Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo, don't even look at them.
Looks to me like you have no idea what you're talking about.
And that you have had problems with Arch is totally understandable to me. It's no distribution for newcomers with absolutely no wisdom about the operating system (in other terms: people like you).

Including header files in your code won't help when the linker can't find the object/library to it.
This article could interest you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linker_%28computing%29
Also, since you're using GNU/Linux, you might want to consider taking a look at GNU Make.
At last I'd recommend you to take a look at the g++ manpage. Specifically the 'Linker Options' section will interest you.

1. It's called GNU/Linux.

Go with Slackware since it doesn't matter for you anyway. I don't think you'll get any distribution installed without wiping your hard drive.

For both ATI and NVidia, the proprietary drivers are far better than the open source alternatives.
ATI has working drivers? I heard rumours that they were to improve their Linux drivers, but who would have guessed that these are true!?
And proprietary drivers might be better performance-wise, but it's closed source.. and runs as kernel module..
Running closed-source on your machine and everything it has access to is classified as compromised (as you have no idea what the hell is going on). Now loading a proprietary module into the kernel, and your whole system is compromised. Forever. There is no way you can *ever* trust it again.
It's different with Windows, since there we know that the NSA is spying on us and can act accordingly.
But I'm going offtopic again

Disclaimer: The following is purely informational. Don't take it attacking (it might seem so) or personal, that's just my style of writing.
The reson I said NVIDIA was because they seem to have the very best opence source driversThey don't have a OS driver. Nouveau is not developed by NVIDIA. They don't even contribute to it in the slightest way. No, Nouveau is reverse-engineered.. NVIDIA is rather hindering its development, than contributing. That's the reason why Torvalds said
(in response to NVIDIA Optimus not being supported on GNU/Linux)
plus they said that Linux is their number one platform then comes Windows then Mac then others.When did they say that? And who in particular? If they'd care more about Linux than Windows, then why do we always have to wait months until they finally decide to add functionality for something to their closed-source GNU/Linux driver? (I.e. NVIDIA Optimus, took them over a year.)
I read that Linux had to start hiding its partitions from Windows because Windows is programmed to delete Linux partitions if it sees them!Do you surf around in conspiracy-theory-forums? When you install a new Windows OS on your hard drive and there are partitions with a filesystem other than FAT or NTFS on it, then the installer tells you 'Unknown filesystem blablablubb' and the default is (or was) to overwrite it. Not more. Other OS installers did the same, that's nothing special.
I know that for years Microsoft tried to Accuse wine of copyright infringement, but never could prove anything in court.That's certainly nothing spectacular.. {Insert random company here} is doing the same to {insert random project here}. That M$ can't stay a single bit of competition, we already knew.

Would it be possible for you to get me one of these shiny codes that CCP Games (EVE Online) is handing out?
Would be forever thankful ;p

2.3 was about 30$ I believe. Even so, I bet it is worth it.
It was $50

First off, a warm welcome! *hugs*
[...]Windows[...]. if it wasn't for its wider support of programs and cheaper price than mac, absolutely nobody would use it.
I disagree there.. Almost every new PC / Notebook comes with Windows pre-installed and like 99.9% of the customers buying these are unable to replace the operating system. Hence, most of them don't even know what an operating system really is.

I learned to control myself.. Took me several years, though. Have 173 games on Steam and ~60 of them never played.. Probably never will..

Lenovo builds decent and affordable Laptops.

You will get it along with the Linux release.. Version 3.1..
That is probably around December, but afaik Josh hasn't announced any ETA, has he?

Linux users don't like installing the Visual Studio runtimes.
Most linux-users won't even think about letting WINE anywhere near their system.
Installation software is uncommon and rarely used under GNU/Linux (package mangers excluded), since we have shiny tools such as pkgtool and yum. A system-wide package manager is superior to any 3rd-party installation software and using 3rd-party software for this usually ends in a giant mess (i.e. they throw *all* their stuff in /usr, /var or who knows where; they install their **** in random locations, install unwanted stuff, produce binary mess, etc.).
I heard that especially Autodesk is very good in messing with your system.

And there's no way I am declaring an extra function and making a call to it just to read a simple variable.
I absolutely support that (but well, I'm a C programmer and hate oop really a lot).

It is likely going to be a paid upgrade.

Must be a problem with your mail client... Mine works just fine (mutt; plain text).
Edit: Oh, wait.. Its not the newsletter mail...
In that case, yeah. Same problem here. Whenever the board sends me a mail, its full with html tags.
Edit2: No, wait.. Just checked.. I don't have html tags in them, that's another board that sends me the ****.

All I have is a Blackberry smartphone from 2006 (running blackberry OS 4, lol..).. So, sadly I cannot enjoy that game of yours..
I'll let some friends check it out for me

Possible?
Nothing runs Flash smoothly and Flash is proud of that.

To find all dependencies. Everything that is listed as `not found.' is missing.
Then use your package manager to find packages that provide the missing dependencies. For yum it would be
Read the man page of your package manager to see how it provides this kind of functionality.
And note that the library libk5crypto.so.3 is a example library and not needed by Leadwerks.
