Mac and Linux conciderations

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Mac and Linux conciderations

I get some support issues on my software and indeed aftermarket support is something I have to consider when looking at a new platform. It's the reason I moved to Blitz from DBP in the first place, to get less support problems.

Whilst aftersales support is important it is not necessary to know a system intimately in order to support your own software, provided you have a good grounding in general computer use and know your own software well enough - it isn't actually very hard to fix most problems. Utility software is another issue, but that's not something I personally bother with.

It is for this reason that i've decided that I will, in time, support the Apple Mac - as I do alredy know the Apple platform quite well. I will not be making use of the BMax Linux option in the short to mid term though.

I do wonder though, if this AmigaOS takes off next year as planned will we see an AmigaOS version of BMax?
