At least there is not that hideous winblows' blue screen of death, and there is no need to force a system reboot, either  Wow, maybe I'm outrageously lucky, but I don't remember X11 has crashed on me *that* much in 10+ years, just once or twice I think

Well, either way you lose unsaved work... Same difference IMO.
Recently I think X has gotten better about not crashing, though it's also gotten worse about having fallback options in case accelerated rendering does crash. That being said, all told I've gotten about as many crashes in total from Linux as I have from Windows, and that includes a period using Windows 98/98SE. (Though 98SE was pretty stable if you didn't mess with it too much. Shame it made MacOS 9 look like a stunning example of OS security.)

Yep, no operating system is perfect (yet), and MacOS 9 had his faults, but it was still way better than windows on the security front. IIRC, it was about those years that the following joke began to circulate: WINDOWS as an acronim means "Work Is Never Done On Windows Systems"

True enough for me, most of the serious (and not-so-serious) computer stuff I do is done on Linux.
BTW Underdark seems to have nothing going on since July 2011.

It seems that the warnings are indeed inherited from NPP. Therem, thanks for the workaround...
Qwerty is still silent, and I realized I don't know enough about programming to do this. Anyone willing to help me? |

NPP 0.5.4 is being released today. It compiles cleanly with MINGW for windows. In linux, (ubuntu), 054 compiles cleanly as well with one warning for main.sdl. 053 has plenty of harmless compiler warnings that have been cleaned up. I don't have access to a MAC, but AFAIK everything works ok.

I don't know what qwerty used, I just edited some text files pertaining to races. EDIT: I'll grab NPP 0.5.4 and the files from the repo qwerty set up and will try to run it. Will see what happens. |
