Nvidia : use the proprietary driver and you should be able to run Unity 3D (I have a laptop with Nvidia 9600 GT and Unity 3D runs very smoothly) Īti: you can try the newest Ati proprietary drivers and, if they work, you should be able to run Unity 3D otherwise, use the opensource driver and you should be able to run Unity 2D smoothly (I installed Ubuntu on 2 laptops with Ati video cards, 44, and I used the opensource driver in both cases and they run Unity 2D smoothly I installed it on an old PC with Ati video card and with the opensource driver it runs Unity 2D) The only thing to check before is the video card: I use Ubuntu 11.10 with a laptop that I bought in has a Intel Centrino single core 1.4 Ghz with 1.5 GB RAM and it runs much faster than XP (I doubt that I can even install Vista or 7).so Ubuntu doesn't need so much hardware to run smooth.Īt login, you can choose between Unity (Unity 3D, which uses hardware acceleration) and Unity 2D at your ease.
