QUOTE(mipadi @ May 4 2009, 10:22 AM) X Windows is the method for displaying GUI elements on Linux. I still haven't found a way to run iTunes, PS and other Windows-based programs without it lagging tremendously. Is there a way around this? |

If you're using WINE, there's not really a more efficient way. (Although in theory, WINE isn't an emulator, just a set of libraries, so there shouldn't be a big performance decrease. In theory.) You could always run Linux-native versions of those programs. Amarok is a good substitute for iTunes (I hear Banshee is good if you want a GNOME-native program). The GIMP is a fair substitute for PhotoShop for 99% of tasks. Etc. etc. |

The machine's performance doesn't lag, but the Windows programs do. I know the basics in GIMP. When it comes down to it, I'm just not familiar with the program yet. As for Banshee; I've heard good things but I've never used it. I've been using Rhythmbox (which, sadly, is pretty sub-par), and the iPod support is minimal, at best. Since I'm making the jump to Fedora, I'm taking this chance to start fresh. Ubuntu did too much for me and I'd much rather get some 'terminal' time. |
