Linux and more Programmer Art

With windows 8 my willingness to try out linux has been tripled over night. Is windows really that much better than linux any longer ? I bought a new laptop and set a new pre-installed windows OS aside to give linux (ubuntu) a chance. Though I will not turn my back on windows completely (at least I'm quite happy with visual studio), it could be enough to wait until windows 9 is released, hopeful setting the focus back on a desktop OS again.

When it runs good, very good, I might think about testing out a port of my game to linux...

Speaking of Gnoblins, I plan to release the first public alpha version at the end of this month, so stay tuned. Further on I'm currently in artist mode again, trying my coder hands on some programmer art, here's the current wip of my new model , the elder.
