Hello dt users,

I don't use Windows for more than 5 years and used to be very happy with Linux (Ubuntu, in my case). Until Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.10 I was, at least. In that time, I could use the AMD HD 7730M 2gb GPU of my Dell Inspiron 7520 Core I7 notebook, 8gb RAM.

When dt started to use GTK 3.0, I had to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, in order to be able to compile the package. With Ubuntu 16.04, I lost the graphics card proprietary driver. No more AmdGPU, no more Opencl, and my computer is like a snail nowadays... Even with fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04.

My options are:

Buy a new Laptop (maybe a Gamer machine with Geforce 1050) for a lot of cash,

or.....

Say goodbye to Linux and go back to Windows, since AMD still supports my graphics card (last update february/2018) and dt now runs on Windows.

My questions are:
1) Is dt for windows stable, right now?

2) What are your opinion about the above scenario?

Thank you in advance!
