chicagobob123 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I guess the title says it all. I need to do a lot of work in Linux and don't have multiple good systems to play with. Whats your WebGL experience? Good? OK? Buy two laptops you cheap skate? Why Linux? Deep learning is calling my name and I hate emulators.

jerome Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm using Ubuntu for ages. The best (fastest) browser is Chrome/Chromium there for WebGL and JS (twice faster than FF when dealing with WebGL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagobob123 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Excellent. I am so glad to hear that! I will get the laptop with a NVidia 1060 card ASAP then. I hope that graphics card is good enough ? NVidia is the only bunch that seems to be offering hardware accelerated Tensor Flow (sorry off topic of 3D world) Thanks !! I feel much better now.

jerome Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 AFAIK from my long experience with Linux distros, Nvidia are the easiest and the best video device to use with Linux because they provide (at least for Ubuntu / CentOS) all the updated drivers. I got recently a GFX1060 and it works really great for 3D or even for any other CUDA computations (far faster than my nvidia qudro K620 what was already huge for BJS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Setup dual boot so you can have the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagobob123 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I wasn't sure you could dual boot windows 10. Have to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCPalmer Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I gave up trying to do that & I had separate drives. Newer motherboards BIOS'es can make that really difficult. Wouldn't even think about using the same drive for both. Kind of a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
