..using ubuntu since 5.04 and running 32 bit wine.
GPGPU on linux is fine. Some Profile-Tools are only available for Windows, but there are command line tools available for linux.

Re: Operating System
My engine is c# so I had to choose windows.
I constantly have putty open on a ubuntu machine though. I've complained to Microsoft about the horrible "console" or dos prompt thing they have. I really want an ssh client and a console with normal select/copy/paste behaviour on a basic install. I'd also prefer they add basic linux filesystem commands so I could type ls instead of dir without having to install cygwin or something like that.

You can develop C# programs in Linux - it's called "mono" and it's completely compatible.stevemulligan wrote:My engine is c# so I had to choose windows.

Re: Operating System
After my trusty old Windows XP laptop finally died end last year, I decided to try the 13" MacBook Air. I must admit that I had a few WTF moments trying to operate Xcode, but it has now grown on me a bit.
I really like the trackpad, it is a joy to use, I have yet to connect a mouse for the first time.
What I miss most from Windows XP is the file explorer...

To give you an idea, I once afound a chess program entirely written in shell! It was not strong and extremely barebone search, but try to do that in DOS with a *.bat file...

cmd.exe is absolutely horrific. You would think after all these years it would be significantly improved. After trying to do some simple stuff in the console I want to beat my brains against the wall.

If you really are into shell programming, try out the Z shell: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide01.html#l1lucasart wrote: Yes, nothing beats the GNU Bourne Again SHell. It's a beast!!!!
