Try btrfs with compression instead of ext4.

theFOoL · Aug 16, 2016

I can say BTRFS is much faster. Thanks. Will this be the main default within 2yrs?

GoldenX · Aug 16, 2016

Hopefully, it really helps mechanical drives.

theFOoL · Aug 16, 2016

Yeah if only Windows10 used that format

GoldenX · Aug 16, 2016

Well, I'm using NTFS compression on Windows 10, it helps.
But yeah, NTFS is too freaking old by now.

Actually Windows 3.1 FTW.

Just tested Vulkan on my bother's Haswell Celeron G1820 (that's a Linux Exclusive™). Improved a lot, all demos run except the tesselation ones, as the support is not ready on the stable Mesa. Next when I have time I'm gonna try Dota 2 and Dolphin emulator, and hopefuly make it work on my Braswell notebook.

I don't understand why Intel limits Windows Vulkan support to Skylake and newer.

hmmm laptop is win10. gaming desktop is win 10. Servers are a mix of Centos7 and Win2012R2 ( on top of ESXI). if I had a pick a Linux desktop i'd probly do Ubuntu.

theFOoL · Sep 26, 2016

I have pretty much every Windows based OS (Xp to 10 besides 8/8.1) and Linux MINT Sarah as my Plex Server

Keullo-e · Oct 1, 2016

Haven't ever seen a reason to swap from Windows to Linux or others on my usage, everything what I need to do, works fine with Windows. After 98SE stability haven't also been that much as an issue as like it was then.

Fell in love with W10 instantly, though Win 2000 Professional is my personal favourite OS ever. Too bad that it's support was killed way before XP, I mean that soft- and hardware just didn't support it as they did support XP.

Windows 10, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I don't recommend 8 (8.1)..... Although windows 98 was pretty great also. :laugh:

Lol yeah that was my first custom build ever which was loaned for me by a friend. Was nice for the time

Check my specs, I'm running Win 10 inside Arch Linux (just a normal virtual machine), but using my GPU and sound card natively with PCI-Passthrough. Tested with 3DMark Fire Strike and Civilization VI, next the damn DX12 test of 3DMark.

Using 8.1 pro for few weeks now loving it. I even kept the start menu as it is.
It uses cores more efficiently than 7. Everything works and is snappy.
I have full control of my system as well.

I've experimented with just about every linux flavor available for desktop. I always come back to ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu

Yes, several versions over the years. Yet, here I am on kubuntu 16 :toast:

Boatvan · Jan 7, 2017

I am looking to get into Linux more, so the only system I've been exposed to is Ubuntu 14.04. I run it on a server at work where our imaging system lives. I have to say it is quite versatile and powerful, but that could be said about many flavors of Linux. I am considering spinning up a Virtual box VM on my home PC and experimenting with different types.

Going to try this as I haven't yet. Let you know how it goes in a few. Tried Kubuntu but went back to MINT. Using a nVidia 750ti and All the GUI glitches aren't worth my time

Johnnyboy94 · Jan 11, 2017

I personally prefer Windows 10, and I currently use it. However I was doing some research and I came across this page. I do find some of characteristics of Linux more appealing, such as how much more flexible it can be compared to Windows.

I've experienced this on Kubuntu as well. It is related to KDE and how it renders. Read this if you want to try to remedy.

EDIT

Has anyone played with Steam OS yet? I've downloaded the "build your own" ISO, but still haven't gotten it to boot from a usb drive yet. Might play with it again tonight on one of my laptops and see if I can get it working...

openSUSE Tumbleweed w/ Windows10 setup in VM w/ PCI passthrough for graphics. Best of both worlds really.

In my case I have performance issues thanks to having a single module APU when using PCI-Passthrough. That's what you get for using the cheapest possible hardware with IOMMU support.
Besides that, it works like a charm, even running the host from the IGP.
