There is not at present a Linux version. The OS's are incompatable.
I'd love to see ED running under Linux as well.

I had a lot of random freezes during supercruise and was crashing to desktop. I did a complete wipe of the nvidia display drivers and reinstalled them and all is working great again.
Running the launcher is a bit problematic. If I run the launcher from a direct shortcut then it just crashes immediately, I can only get it to run by clicking play game in steam.
I found a lot of apps were running but did not get my old settings. If you go into c:\users\**username**\appdata. Some of the folders in there have had their permissions changed so you have to open them and windows 10 gives a warning and then fixes the permissions. All your apps will now be able to access their old settings.

Severe performance degradation for me, I've yet to remove and re-install Nvidia drivers though so will report back once that is done.
Dam right! No wonder they are holding it back from their big corporate partners - Win 10 has a lot of issues which should have been sorted out before releasing it in this way. I'll wait till the beta test is almost over before taking the leap. Just a look at M$'s support forums last night was enough to make me think it was Ubuntu that had been given away!
That's why my company is on Win7. However it is getting good reviews so far, check Ars Technica. The Beta for Win10 is over I believe as this version is RTM. Join MS's Technet its fun.
At home I can choose to boot from XP, Vista, Win8.1 and Unbuntu at the moment. I use all these due to their particular advantages over each other. Legacy progs, etc.

However the only way to truly test and debug an OS is when its live in the wild.
I'm installing Win10 right now. Wish me luck!

Thanks CMDR
Looks like I have to wait for my upgrade when they send it. Apparently if you download the Win10.iso, you need a Win10 key.
I used Belarc Advisor to get my 8.1 key but NFG.
GRRR.

I brute forced my win 10 download (used the media maker) told it to do an upgrade over my win 7. you only need the win 10 key if you do a clean install, you can get that key if you contact MS support after you've done the install.
Personally I went the upgrade route so if anything untoward happened I at least had the hope of rolling it back.
The upshot of this is now my account and hardware is linked to my win 10 account and if any of us make major hardware upgrades (usually something like a different mobo as microsoft still use a HW point scale) all I have to do is contact support, but as my account is linked with windows 10 they'll just give me an activation key.
And it'll work this way for all of us.
So far win 10 is rock solid on my system and only had one occurrence of the shutdown bug (but I think I've solved that by going through my usb peripherals.)
I want to put 10 on a different partition and keep 8.1 without upgrading it. Any ideas CMDR Banjax?
yup, phone them up and telling them you're doing a clean install, the problem arises when you tell them that your upgrade copy (your win 8.1) is staying on the system. as for that to work, you'd need two licenses.
Or do a clean install of win 10 on your other partition and just don't register it, I think if memory serves me right you have ten days to activate it. this might give you enough time to make the jump. but personally if you're wary of it, wait till the first round of major patches come out before you upgrade or go the 'I'll wait till service pack 1' comes out.

Anyone using Opentrack or Freetrack and a Playstation Eye upgrade to Windows 10? I'd like to know if it works as it does in 8.1 or if I need to wait.
Thx CMDR B. The install menu doesn't march past the product key page unless its entered however. I'll wait for the upgrade ready to install notification I get.
Just upgraded now - so far I notice no major differences in gameplay good or ill. Took a while for 10 to recognize my graphics card and upgrade/install what was needed, though. But it did so on its own, which was impressive. It seemed to do a pretty good job of getting me set up the way I was before.
I'll do a more thorough examination of gameplay when I get back from the long weekend.

I believe anything that worked in 8.1 with function in 10 as I understand it. They are very similar internally and 10 is supposedly got compatibility modes down to XP.
Hammer, is that Chris Plummer in your avatar? LOL

Windows 10 and X-55 Profiler
Just installed windows 10 yesterday, twice now my computer has locked up. I can't click anything to close windows etc.
When I CTRL-ALT-DEL to get up task manager it showed X-55 profiler CPU usage at 40%. Compiled with everything else running my CPU usage was up to 68%. After rebooting it is now at 0-0.1%. Total CPU 1-2%.
Anyone else have this problem?
FYI I had to hard boot computer.

I can't wait. Gonna plow over the 8.1 and plant the 10.

yup, although I have seen a few people with issues that caused them to reply the visual c runtimes because the windows 10 upgrade broke the installer.
I have not had an issue playing with a AMD R9 280x and the 15.7.1 drivers.
Your mileage may vary..
