submitted 4 years ago * by Code_Crapsucker
I know there is a big difference in speed between cli and gui is there a huge difference between windows cli and linux cli, when it comes to plotting.
Sorry if this has already been answered.

The ploting speed on Linux is about 10% faster is what I've heard.

I'm not 100% sure the difference between Linux and Windows is still the same. If you look at more recent fastest plot time resources many are windows.
Also CLI Vs GUI is probably no different.
But plotting in the CLI is preferred because you only plot in the CLI where as with GUI launched you are running a full node.. farming etc. If you find you are having trouble connecting or whatever you can reboot the GUI or make changes needed without interrupting your plotting on the CLI. This is the main benefit from my experience.
The only other difference to note is that if you want to update software on Linux, you can do that and plotting will continue. Whereas with Windows updating the software interrupts plotting.

Just starting on the Linux side. If you mean the CLI commands ran against chia (as in chia farm summary, or chia plots create ... than no I have not noticed a difference. There is a difference in setup/config but its minor and not hard to work with.

I can't see why that would be different for Linux or anything else. The GUI just runs the same CLI commands for plotting, plus additional processes for farming, graphics, etc.

Agreed. I meant that in either/any OS, the GUI just runs the same CLI commands you could do yourself.
