indievfxIt finally happened - I managed to pull off a fully functional workstation on #Rocky #Linux 9.6. I’d tried before a few times but gave up quickly after hitting different roadblocks - dependencies that, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find (or maybe spot) the right answer for. Today ChatGPT was a big help - I guess many system admins are using it, so it was highly effective in fixing the errors. (1/3)
Now the best part - the performance jump is simply mind-blowing. #Nuke launches in 1 second, and depending on the task I see huge speed improvements: write is about 40% faster, tracking more than 200%, timeline scrubbing is almost real-time responsive. (2/3)
I’ve got all the tools and OFX I use working, and the only missing parts aren’t very important: Parsec still has no Linux hosting (plus I can’t activate hardware decoding on Rocky), and I still haven’t figured out how to reprogram my extra mouse keys. (3/3)
So now after running PxF_NukeBench the numbers are even crazier. 66% average speed improvement on calculations, 21% on writes and 223% on reads. What a lovely day :)
