    [Solved] Speed again !!!

    in Linux

    Posted

    Yeah your absolutely right there Mr Groove. Was just thinking about that yesterday. Now I can't complain about speed in the forums, what should I now do. Geeez. .... I may have to make a game. Who could have guessed that. Well I actually started with some tests for an idea I have in another engine, but now when speed isn't an issue anymore I will return and make it with LE which in the end is my roots. This time I will base it on LUA and only do C++ stuff IF it's absolutely needed. The game will be called "Zero - The journey into void". Will write some blog on that later on

    Besides NSA ( or FRA here in Sweden), credit cards and all that, I find Windows 10 really good. A good step. I like it. Like Windows 7 with a bit modern touch.

    Compiled on VS2015 using Toolset VS2013

    You have to have VS2013 installed, but once done that you can forget it.

    Windows 10?

    in Windows

    Posted

    As you may or may not know I am a former Windows user. In January I switched over to Ubuntu and have no regrets about doing that at all. During the years I have installed Ubuntu now and then to see the progress of things. This time it was Bingo! All the programs I'm using worked great without any magic touch. Just click and install as in Windows.

     

    Which programs? Well I don't use a big arsenal these day. Blender, 3DCoat, Leadwerks, Esenthel, Gimp, CodeBlocks, NetBeans and some other stuff as Ardour & Audacity (music), FileZilla (ftp), CollabNet (Git). All those was just as easy installed as in Windows (download and click to install).

     

    Settings in Ubuntu. To tell the truth I don't know to much about them as I haven't had the need for any changes after my first install. All worked just great after install. But just in case there is the need, there is a control-panel with easy settings (in fact more easy than in Windows if you ask me).

     

    Doing magic commands in the command prompt then? This seems to be a myth coming from the old days. There is no need for that as these days everything is graphical as it is in Windows. In some really rare cases (as in Windows) you might have to give some command in the terminal. Well.. That's done as easy as in Windows.

     

    Updates of both the OS and the installed programs comes nice and easy as it does in Widows, by auto-magic if you allow that.

     

    I could go on for a bit, but to make it short. I haven't had any reason to do anything more complicated than I did in Windows to the things going. Is there anything that I miss from Windows. No. I have same programs or equivalent in Ubuntu as I had in Windows.

     

    I don't like to spend hours fixing with the OS or programs to get them going either, and I haven't. Coming to Leadwerks in Linux then. It works fine although there are some minor things that needs to be fixed (as the missing drag and drop of files into the editor). But those are minor things that can be worked around very easy. No big deal.

     

    All and all I can say that I haven't regretted my switch to Linux and have no intention what so ever of turning back to Windows. Does this mean that Linux is better that Windows. I my view its not better or worse, its just another OS with one big nice feature, its Free, has always been and will always be.

     

    Just wanted to write this as many (most ?) seems to think that you need to be some computer geek to run Linux. You don't.

     

    Now this was about Windows 10. I think its a good thing if MS could quickly remove all the old versions and get everything under one roof (I think this was the intentions with 10 ). For gamers there is the new DirectX 12 which will make things run faster. Besides that and some cosmetics its (as I have understood it) more or less nothing more than a big servicepack of Windows 8, so I would not worry to much installing it.

    Thanks for that DerRidda. In fact I can extend my planned budget to that. Have never ordered hardware from Amazon before but I guess that will work as good as anything else. Sweden is not on another planet so I guess it will be OK. I'll be waiting for their drone wink.png.Think its worth replacing the i5 to a i7 maybe and 980Ti instead of a bare 980.

    Well the 1200 USD is just a estimation which can be overridden in there is a need for it. 1200USD ~ 10.000SEK.

    My compile times are no problem. The gaming performance is.

    I will have my OS on the SSD and then an extra HDD for everything else.

     

    By they way. Thanks DeRidda and you all others.

    You are most kind

     

    :)
