I’ve been contemplating a Linux reinstall for quite some time, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to run it in a VM or as a dualboot. I’ve decided on the latter as I want to see how it performs. Linux ran awesomely on my old Xeon setup, crummy AMD GPU drivers aside. But now with Vega and Ryzen, and better drivers under Linux I want to see how things perform from general use to gaming. Most of the software I use under Windows is Open Source or able to run under Linux (how far we’ve come) and this includes my recording and video editing software. 😀 Perhaps I’ll do some side by side comparisons once I get established, and maybe even some videos. I wonder if they have the AMF H.264 codec running under the Linux version of OBS? That would make recording soooooo much nicer, it was one of the reasons why I pretty much did all my work in Windows instead… well there was that and the fact I couldn’t find any video editing software that could compare to Premiere, but with Shotcut I don’t see that as a problem.
So far my transferable list of programs consists of: OBS Studio, Shotcut, Krita, Audacity, VLC, Waterfox, and I recently reinstalled Pidgin (got fed up with Chatzilla). Then of course there’s Steam. :v: It will be great to go between OS’s again. Should be easier now too that I’m using the same audio equipment between both now, my old audio setup had crap Linux support which was why I had to purchase a Digital Analog Converter to get full support for my Shure SM58.
I’m not sure when I’ll start on it, but I’ve already downloaded the latest ISO for CentOS; Now I just need to pick a day to do the deed. :zorak:
