Should I use Linux or Windows for best software performance?

The biggest impact on the software performance comes from the file management, for which Linux is more efficient than Windows.

Myriad v1 (legacy, up to Exostiv Dashboard 1.9.5) format for encoding the waves used a large number of files, which negatively impacted Windows-based versions.

With Myriad v2 (from Exostiv Dashboard 1.10.0), this aspect was greatly optimized is such a way that the performance difference between Linux and Windows has reduced (or there is no difference in most of the cases). So, there should be no significant advantage at using either one OS.

In all cases, using a SSD hard drive will positively impact the software execution.
