Can anyone explain why painting on my hackintosh is more responsive than the dell linux box at work.
My hack has an RX580with 8G, 64G of RAM, the linux box has 128 G of RAM and an RTX6000, 24G GPU.
Despite a higher spec, painting on 4448x3096x16bit FP feels laggy on the linux box as opposed to my hack.

Good point, my box at work was moved from the machine room into the suite some time ago, not sure if the tablet is connected directly though, I’ll check on Monday.
On my hack it’s plugged in directly.

Ok, so the tablet is plugged in directly.
