Not exactly. I mean, most Linux applications are Open Source anyhow, and nowadays in much more modern versions available than in the Amiga days, so it's really simple and easy to migrate.
That makes no sense considering that latest kernels and toolchain compile and work fine on Amiga today - Linux on old Amiga hardware is way more modern than AmigaOS on same hardware can ever be.
I don't run Linux on 68k because I "must", I have all kinds of hardware and architectures running Linux, 68k is just one of many, and as long as it works fine, I don't see any point in stopping.
The same does not go for native Amiga applications IMHO. Fore example, I'm still missing a "pixel-paint" program for Linux that is worth using (and no, gimp is not the right answer for this type of problem. It's just too complex for many simple tasks, and rather designed with another application in mind - photo editing namely).
I agree, I keep using DPaint for all such work.
As in "paging memory"? Yes, certainly. There is the "memory.library" which gives you all that, including to "mmap" files or create "virtual memory on demand". There is no "automatic virtual memory" basically because that simply cannot work, and I don't like programs that "cannot work", so I did not write one. But all the higher paging functionality is surely available. For example, all the "VMM" stuff for Amiga is simply "broken by design", no chance to get that working reliably.
Well, question is really, can I set up a 1-2GB partition to use as raw swap to increase the ammount of system "Fast RAM", which Lightwave, DPaint etc can benefit from when I do longer high-res animations? It's really all I want and need, and why I use VMM.
