I'd like us to use this thread to share experiences with DS, WINE and Linux, news, views, anything. CS2 will run on Linux with WINE, but, it's somewhat debatable as to whether DS4.8 64bit will. I looked at the programs I regularly run in Windows and apart from Photoshop CS2 and DS there is nothing else that I can't run in Linux. Good luck!Īfter much thought and perusal of the Windows 10 thread on here, I really want to ditch Microsoft for good and migrate to Linux Mint. If you find out more, I'd be happy to know about it. I'd really LOVE to have a Linux-Release for DAZ, but I don't think they are paying much attention to it. Pure CPU virtualization should be almost the same as native, due to the virtualization extension CPUs bring along for quite some time, but that's only one part of the story. I think I've tried the virtual machine approach, but, given I'm using a native Windows install for DAZ only now, it looks like I wasn't successful - mind you, 3D acceleration tends to be _very_ slow and you really need that and you need more than just a basic integration. check IRay properties - 32bit does not load anything connected to IRay - which slows me down a lot! In the long run, when they switch to 64bit only, which they will at some point, DAZ will not run on Linux anymore.ĭAZ is a part of my assets pipeline and I always need to boot up Windows to e.g. It won't work on 64-bit, which is required for IRay or any scene that contains more than 1, 2, 3 models. It didn't take long until the CMS got broken, which makes it impossible to search your assets or use Smart Assets. It boots up, asset loading is pretty slow (which can be due to my assets drive being a NTFS drive, which is slow in general on Linux), and when rendering it does not use 100% cpu, so you are wasting ressources/time. I had success installing the 32-bit version on Ubuntu using this tutorial:
