Mainly because Windows 10 has Ububtu available through PowerShell, so if I needed to use a Linux non-GUI tool, I have access already.
--- Quote from: d on January 31, 2017, 11:39:42 PM ---The Unity development kit (or, most of it) is supported on Linux.
--- End quote ---
If the Mac version of Unity is any indication, it's probably a mess. I also generally only stick with Unity for doing work at home. Unreal 4 is my engine of choice.

Similar situation as above, except it's not something I've witnessed, but is something my old 3D teacher kept telling me since he occasionally contracts out to production studios running all kinds of environments.

And I consider it Mission-Critical.
--- Quote from: d on January 31, 2017, 11:39:42 PM ---My question is: Why do you refuse to use alternatives or run things under WINE? If the performance of WINE applications worries you, it shouldn't. Pretty much every software thing I tried has run well under WINE.
--- End quote ---
Because the alternatives are never anywhere near as good as the software that I paid for and learnt how to use (Example: compare Blender to Maya), and I run multiple heavy applications at one time. I can't imagine the kind of overhead that would be generated from trying to run Unreal 4, Photoshop, Maya and whatever other tool I'm using at the same time all through WINE instances.
Keep in mind that I didn't mention applications like Firefox, Chrome, Discord and the millions of other bits of software I use which are working fine on Linux. That's all great, but I can't use a system that's not capable of running the mission critical applications I need to do my job (or have fun, ala all of my most played Steam games).

It's not noticeable on long music files. When you're trying to test small audio clips (under 10 seconds), it becomes a major problem.

Why ya gotta come in here and piss people off
Just use what you want
Refticus:
until linux can actually run more than 15% things outside of an emulator, it's not the best operating system.
sure microsoft does some weird stuff, but it's stuff that you wouldn't notice having an impact on your research hardcore gaming experience.
your data that windows may or may not collect is with loving millions of other pieces of data, the chances of them picking your data is like one in a loving million. i should also include that the data they take is completely anonymous and does not reveal personal information about you or what you are looking up online.
if you really don't want your data to be seen, you must be doing some weird stuff online and i don't want any part of that.
mcjob sums up my opinion about this whole "windows is bad because muh data and adwares!!";
