I am being late into this thread sorry for that. I am going to just enter my feedback so far and for sure this not about starting a flame war for distros, Desktop Environments etc etc. For the past couple of years I relied on Ubuntu LTS as my Linux desktop. Running 18.04 LTS with SC for everyday trading Futures/Forex with some custom studies it was flawless for me. I switched to Ubuntu 20.04 ~1 month after its initial release. After getting sick of the all the wine idiosyncrasies I switched permanently to CrossOver. I run it like this ever since without any issues at all. Especially all the problems mentioned here, I never experienced. I upgraded to SC 2177 last week, running just fine. I run stock Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with a 1st Gen Threadripper CPU, 64 GB RAM ECC, Dual AMD cards, 3x 4k Monitors. Most of the times my computer and SC runs without a restart for many days even weeks. I also do not regularly update SC. I have a wine dev bottle meant to test a new version of SC and make sure it loads fine before I update it on my other wine bottles that I use for charting and live trading. I use CrossOver 19.0.2 which is now using a Wine 4.12.1 patched by the CodeWeavers people. Since mid-August all the nasty bugs on Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome issues with multi screen etc) that were effecting me are resolved. All I can say for anyone interested is that I am perfectly happy with my current setup and errors free so far. |
