For those who are concerned about the excessive intrusions of privacy that products such as Windows 10 present, I have recently come across something interesting
Wine is a free and open source compatibility layer software application that aims …
Awesome -- yea we definitely need to start doing that -- because this shit show that is windows is just ridiculous. :O
Between all the spying and arbitrary controls.... The absolute worse thing -- is the FORCED Crippling "UPDATES".
Supposedly Windows fired/layed off the testing team and now just pushes broken updates on people...
That is how it was at first -- I don't know if that garbage is still going on -- but that is unacceptable for trading computers.
Create a QEMU VM on your Linux box, install a Windows 7 and disable updates/antivirus on it. That's simpler.
Trading software companies won't invest resources to port existing Windows products for something like 0.1% of potential Linux users...
I tried Windows Linux emulation layers, Wine and co, it's simply not working even on very simple apps.
Ur right at some points but windows really sucks Sam ,..!!
I uninstalled windows from my home pc long back. Need to keep it running on my lappy just becoz of there r no good charting utilities available in linux as of now.
Out of curiosity, I tested Arthachitra to be installed on Linux machine. I could get it installed after installing .NET framework 472 on PlayOnLinux, but i still dont know if its working properly or not. All .NET components should work flawlessly on linux, but my worries r for database management. As AC uses sqldb for database management, I think that might give me bumps. But thats in a testing phase.
If somehow I get Arthachitra running successfully on linux machine, I might say a big big good bye to Windows forever as AC has all components for trading what i need. ( Local broker support, datafeed and execution directly from AC) Which is unlikely for me to be presented by any other platforms like multicharts or Ninja as they r not interested in our country.
Nothing wrong in trying installing Ninja or Multicharts on a linux machine. (I guess MC will run a lot smoother).
@OpalDragon, Its worth giving a try. If u succeed , share ur experience here. May be many r just waiting for it.
