I have been involved in a small discussion in the 'RDNA and Daz merge' thread regarding the running of Poser in Linux, something I am interested in as the above title suggests. I am not sure this is the right place to add this but the RDNA merger is sort of history now so the topic might get missed there.
The point is I am planning to stay with Windows 7 for as long as I possible can, which gives me a few years, but have no intention at this point of using Windows 10. There are multiple reasons for this but I won't bore you. I am therefore looking at an alternative. I am a complete newbie at this but in the last few days I have downloaded Linux Mint 18 and have managed to install it on an old machine configured as a dual boot with Windows 7. My first impressions of Mint is encouraging and I have also installed Poser 2014 via Wine. It does work but with a few issues. Firstly left mouse click in the library either does nothing or crashes Poser. Also the running the render engine as a separate process causes Poser to crash during the render. With this option un-ticked all is well with the render.
The other problem is that the library does not 'see' all of my drives and therefore the options of where to put my runtimes is restricted.
I need to play a lot more but I would be interested to hear from anyone who has experience of using Poser in Linux, good or bad as this may make my playing a little more productive.
