I want to build a Linux 'do it all machine', I'm wondering should I go for Intel or AMD CPU, I keep looking at AMD Ryzen 5000 series, I reckon a quad core would suit my needs, right now I'm on Win 7 Pro using a AMD A6-5400K dual core, not being a 'gamer' it suites my needs, I do think a 6 core would be an over-kill, obviously I want to see an improvement in the transistion.
I don't want to be using Windows 10 or 11 if I can help it, I may consider using a dual windows 7 boot for my PCB cad work if for nothing else.
Dare I ask another question? Quite somewhile ago I did use Mint maybe Mint 17 or 18 something like that, when using Wine I could load my windows cad work OK, it worked mighty fine except..... the cad work I could never get it open to 'full windows', I never did bother to find out why as Linux was new to me, this was about the time I switched from XP to Windos 7 pro, reason I mention this I wouldn't like to be faced with the same issue.... could well be something that I wasn't doing, I did try to run the program in 'max' windows but that didn't work.
Thanks, Dave
