Is this 20 percent boost in CPU and IO-bound tasks really worth it when you lose a lot more performance in other key areas?
Most intensive tasks are I/O bound, and most of the ones that aren't are CPU-bound, so yes.
They want the photolitho machines. The location is also strategic.
also, like, you (as in you, drinkypoo) have been bitching about Mac OS X for as long as there's been Mac OS X, so this new talking point really just feels hollow.
I'm consistent so you don't believe me? Okay, sport.
haven't heard about time machine fuckups, do you have a link to anything other than the obligatory "mAKe sUre tHE cAbLe iS PLuggeD IN" page every company has?
Looks like they are showing the base clock for Windows and the boost clock for Linux. The processor model was listed on the page you linked, so you could have found this out with google.
The final conclusion, "Ubuntu
So what you're saying is you think Java is optimized for Linux over Windows? I could believe that, but where are your benchmark tests? How did you leave those out?
Why can't you append "-quora" to your query?
-site:quora.com still works.
I can't imagine a single reason why having them on the internet at all should be the norm.
It's cheaper, of course. There's no other reason.
People aren't addressing the fact that when the infrastructure goes under it will pollute and cause blockage to the coasts.
Yep. There's tons of highly polluted properties on coasts, including refineries, fuel depots, shipyards, storage yards... Even if you removed the buildings and whatnot completely the soil would still be contaminated. And then there's the nuclear plants... Over 40% of them are coastal worldwide, and that number rises to 66% if you count plants under construction.
I think people running Mac are looking for simplicity.
Yes, they are deluded.
They are not going to switch to Linux unless they are techie and Mac gives them heck.
Even if their Mac shits all over them, they will praise it. Mac OS has been getting less and less reliable since about the same time they stopped calling it Mac OS X. The Mac users I know have become less and less enthralled with it as advertised functionality becomes more likely to malfunction. In particular they are distressed by recent degradations in the performance and reliability of Time Machine backups, which is arguably the thing Apple most needs to get right. (If all else fails, format the disk with your backups on it? THANKS APPLE.)
Skill issue.
Folks with Windows for games probably aren't going to bother with Wine.
I've been a Windows to Linux waffler since I put Slackware 2.0 on a 386DX25 with 8MB RAM and 120MB ATA hdd, using Kernel 1.1.47 (thus dating the start of my Linux saga) with A, N, D, and enough of the X set to run Netscape 2.0. And on that system I played (besides the epic classics like Nethack) Doom and Abuse. I ran Windows 7 for some time because it was a great place to run most games, even most of the vintage ones, and a tolerable place to run other things. I ran Linux occasionally in VMware Player or from USB stick for tasks that Windows couldn't or wouldn't do gracefully.
Now I run Devuan 5, and I am having a fairly excellent experience gaming with a combination of Lutris, PlayOnLinux, Steam, and Proton-GE. I only have a Pinnacle Ridge (1600AF) and a 4060 16GB, but I only game at 1080p. I got the version with more VRAM for LLM stuff, and so if/when I do get a 4k monitor, the card isn't worthless. I am frequently surprised by how many games I actually can run with this combination. With the exception of games with Windows kernel DRM, by far the vast majority of them can be made to work well.
If I were only gaming, I'd probably be on Windows 10. But Linux now is a very viable place to do a lot of gaming, and thanks to work put in to support the Steam Deck, a lot of games will now run very well indeed. Publishers of older games are also putting in a fair bit of work to make games function on Linux today. The new Fallout 4 patch coming out (I know that game is old AF, but it has an extremely active community) is Steam Deck Verified, but the game has run at least as well on Linux as on Windows for years now.
I do sometimes indeed still use normal Wine, but more commonly I use Proton-GE. Try it out, it's impressive.
no but you normally talk shit so I had to clarify
You not picking up what I'm putting down doesn't mean I'm not putting it down for you.
Yeah, by the way, in what semester is that mandatory lobotomy in that MBA course?
It's actually the other way around. It was volunteer duty. Very few had to do it, there always were enough who volunteered.
Personally, I think that's worse.
Ordered and eagerly awaiting it.
Thanks for the info.
I tend to disagree.
Or maybe we just have different circle of friends. The people I generally concern myself with value peer esteem far above bling-bling.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
