I run with two 1900 X 1200 monitors
so it's a lot of pixels to push around even if only gaming one.
True but that is still A LOT of gpu.
Do you work in tech?
not exactly
building automation
this is my home compy
for personal use only
I work out of a lap top
Industrial automation? in what industry?
HVAC
Oh sick!
That's awesome.
All embedded stuff, so no reason you're a linux fan 😄
I quit my job over a year ago. It was a year in May. I'll probably have to start looking soon.
I just don't like proprietary bullshit
Most of the problems that I dealt with at work were proprietary bullshit
Yeah, it's annoying but sadly most embedded systems are proprietary.
It's the nature of the beast.
I'd spend half of my day on licsensing or related crap.
a lot had to do with Windows
Oh yeah, that's annoying. I worked in automotive IT so dealt with FANUC robotics and others... they're terrible with drivers and the like with Windows.
Extremely fickle.
It got so bad with Windows changing host IDs with Win 10 that our main brand released a Linux client.
Well at least that is amazing.
I think behind the secenes most people realize that Window's days are number and working on beimg more platform agnostic.
Yes, even Microsoft.
LoL
They've been open sourcing all their stuff.
No seriously.
They're moving away from Windows and more into Sharepoint, Exchange, Office, Azure, etc.
ya I know about the Ubuntu bash in Win 10
Yeah, Linux subsystem.
It's decent but still shit.
Windows isn't TERRIBLE... honestly. It can be made to work very well.
I think most game manufacturers are working on going Vulkan / Linux behind the scenes but it takes probably 3 or 4 years to switch gears like that
Luckily I think that they have been working on it for at least a year or two
Web app -> Nothing Windows; Embedded -> Nothing Windows but corporate email/wiki/random shit -> Amazing; Gaming -> Only platform haha
so I think in two years or so you'll see a lot more games run on Linux on release day or soon after
What type of games do you mostly play?
