As opposed to 'finding features' in the windummy OSen like BSOD?
Linux compiz working 100% and flawless from day one.
The only thing you need to do is set it up properly
and since I adore it so much, I really like doing it well.
Compiz with 16 semitransparent virtual screens in a 'cube' is
something I can't let go of - and because work is 100% (as opposed to work
being defined as managing your daily BSODs on your WINDUMMY PC), I have
several virtual machines running at the same time doing things and when
speed is everything, even things like directory access lag with tens of
thousands of files is some directories hogging the CPU for 2 or 3 seconds
is an issue - so I bought an SSD which cuts that by about 25% to 50%.
With the Pickit2 programmer from microchip being operated under Linux and
Linux PIC compilers available, I am the point where dumping
the windummy PC altogether is a commercial option and leaving
it asside to support legacy stuff is the only reason for having it around.
