![]() Similarly, those with an AMD CPU have a good chance – well, a 50% one – of also owning an AMD GPU. Looking at the GamingOnLinux stats, they already show AMD having taken the majority share – just – on 52.4%, so again it’s a very similar picture.īoiling Steam also breaks down the most likely CPU and GPU combos, and those who have bought an Intel processor are “far, far more likely” to own an Nvidia graphics card. Seeing as Intel’s next-gen Rocket Lake CPUs won’t launch until March at the earliest, according to the rumor mill – and they might not go on sale immediately either – that likely gives AMD time to push over the top with Ryzen 5000 momentum and claim the majority share in processors before then. Two years ago, AMD’s share was 27% compared to 73% for Intel, so huge strides have been made here – but that’s unsurprising given how good Ryzen CPUs have got in recent times. ![]() So what about CPUs? In this case, Boiling Steam’s compiled stats show AMD having a market share of 50% as of January 2021, meaning it’s level-pegging with Intel. On the Nvidia front, its graphics driver is proprietary (closed) – although admittedly works well on Linux (that said, it depends on who you ask, to be fair), and of course there are advantages in terms of more powerful GPUs from Team Green, not to mention ray tracing (and DLSS, where version 2.0 has picked up serious momentum).ĪMD is, of course, striking back with its new Big Navi GPUs which finally provide some competition at the high-end – or at least they will do, when stock issues are resolved (the same is true of Nvidia’s RTX 3000 range on the supply front, as you’ve doubtless seen). ![]() Overall, Linux gamers would appear to be increasingly adopting AMD graphics cards by some margin, then, likely aided by the fact that AMD’s drivers are open source, and the firm is willing to work with the community to improve them. At any rate, this much smaller sample set shows AMD with a 41.7% share, up from 30% in July 2019 (note that this data also takes in some laptops, as Intel is shown with a GPU share of 3.6%, meaning integrated graphics are being used). One commenter on the Boiling Steam article also pointed to GamingOnLinux (opens in new tab) stats, gleaned from just over 10,000 registered users on the site, via their profile data (although take that with a pinch of salt, obviously). Impressive growth for AMD on Linux, indeed. If the legacy app is a transactional accounting system, replacing it with an existing but different commercial "modern" GUI application may be a major project.What’s even more telling here is that if you look at the Boiling Steam stats for January 2019, the picture was similar to JPR with a 25% share for AMD – so that has leapt by a 50% increase over the course of two years. If your terminal emulator is used to "pull up past invoices and reports" that are basically text files (or could be exported as such), it may be relatively easy to install a web-server and make those documents available through a web-browser Replacing a complicated legacy app Again this can involve considerable effort and cost. If you have access to the source code for the legacy application then it may be possible to convert it. Some legacy applications are written in 4GL languages which now have a GUI version. ![]() ![]() This could require a fairly major amount of work and cost. You may be looking for a program that wil interact with your legacy application in the background and present a GUI interface to the users. These won't significantly change the way the underlying application looks. Alternatives include Putty, SecureCRT, Reflection and others. ![]()
