[Question] What should I use, Linux or Windows, for server development?

[robertocaribbean]

Hi there,



I remember back then when I was newbie in pawn scripting, I use the IDE who come within server files, called pawno. All this on Windows platform



The good thing on this is that after compile the script I could test it quickly by opening SA:MP and do the testing of the script playing by myself.





There is a similar way to do this on Linux? Or how should I work on Linux in order to test scripts?

Windows for seamless testing, you can use wine and such on Linux to test with SA there too but it is probably buggy.

It is not, not at all. Feels like it runs more stable if anything

Plus under Wine you can run several instances of the game which didn't seem to be possible on windows the last time I tried it. Really useful for when testing needs multiple players.

I think its better windows (for games) if you using develop for something else then Linux and i recommend Elementary OS, its like MAC and easy to use just you need few days to learn all commands.
