Brand new GTX 1070 card running Linux right now. no problems. Linux is the best “workstation”, but Linux needs PC’s. So does Apple, and chrome. Don’t get me wrong PC’s, and windows have their place in the world. I am not all about bringing down msft at all. Msft is very necessary in the world. Without them the tech industry as a whole would’ve been set back a decade if not more. It’s kind of like an itunes scenario. Apple didnt like creating itunes for windows, but knows ipod, and iphone would’ve never been so popular without windows. A computer can be a tool, or a toy. I have never thought of Linux as a toy. I’ve never played a single game on my linux desktop. Premium developers are starting to develop to linux. They are testing the waters. Autodesk has Maya, and 3ds releases in linux. My Substance painter works great. Blender actually is a professional art tool. 3dcoats is similar to zbrush, and can be run on linux. Anything that can be created by any major graphics company can be made with blender. Anything that’s cpu, and ram intensive runs more efficiently on the Linux Kernel. NOT Ubuntu. but people keep using ubuntu as a comparison to windows because of the amount of drivers, and software available. A lot of chrome apps can be natively run on ubuntu through unity. Linux, and red hat crushes Ubuntu in performance. The Joy of Windows is being able to install anything at any cost, and frankly that’s starting to get restricted. The new subscription based software model is pushing open source to get much better, or at least the “buy the entire program” to be more popular. It’s sad that most companies, and individuals don’t actually trust Linux as a supported Operating system. If you were solidworks than you would be nervous about some random folks having coffee just making drivers for your software to run on, and patching a bug when they get to it. Where as windows, and Apple has teams of developers that can get their patches pushed within hours. Anything. Anything that is ram, or processor heavy runs better, and more efficiently on a pure Linux Kernel. So for game development you have no nuances that you have with windows. Nothing scanning in the background, or updating itself randomly. while your trying to render a scene. You can have your entire computer devoted to one program running, and minimal tasks. Which means for Linux i have 11 free gb of ram ,and 4 free gb vram on an operating system that’s 12gb where as windows??? 40gb hundreds of processes intermittently poppin, and prairie ******* around on my task manager while im trying to render or compile. Not to mention what happens if update manager, or win defender starts while im cooking?
