Would you like to work in Linux vs. Windows?

Michlet is the only program that keeps windows in my house. I prefer Linux and sometimes run Michlet in WINE, a windows emulator. However the redrawing of Michlet graphics is slow in WINE and if I try to move the Michlet window, WINE crashes and takes Michlet with it. So I keep a Windows 7 computer around.

Windows 8 caused a redraw (slowness) problem with Michlet. I also really hate Windows 8 in general so I put Windows 7 on my latest computer build. Now it's back to fast graphics updating and I can move the Michlet window around.

 

I run Windows 7 in a VirtualBox machine on my Linux desktop: no need for rebooting, no need for a separate machine.

I'd like to be Linux only, but a lot of engineering software devs ignore it.

 

I have 5 computers running linux mint some installed from the same bootable cd and all behave different. At the moment I am using GIMP graphics and my laptop GIMP software has gone silly. When I use the eraser it gives a black smude line,when I use crop the brightness and contrast comes up and takes over and there are more eratic problems.. just when I was falling more in love with mint. No it is not the operator. I would prefer to use Linux but others use the computers and have their preferences.
