I use windows xp pro. but am looking for another OS.
Any suggestions other than Linux? I run on line games mostly and do video’s.

Sorry, but Linux is #1 in Open Source operating systems. I’d suggest ubuntu linux – http://ubuntu.com
However, BSD is a good alternative. Check out FreeBSD – http://freebsd.org
Unfortunately for you there are no good video editing tools in platforms other than OSX and MS Windows (not even in Linux) and online games (like video editing software) are almost non existent in platforms other than OSX and MS Windows.
You can try virtualization software but you may get poor performance, if it works at all.
I’d say stick with Windows.
If you are running games mostly then there is no open source alternative. Or for the most part no closed source alternatives. For videos you can do a lot with Linux/Unix and the Mac — especially the Mac` — has a lot of codecs available. But for games you want Windows.
