In technical matters Amiga have no advantages over Linux. But using Amiga can be still fun and good hobby.

In technical matters maybe no but in useful matters Amiga has  avantages jet.Try to do the same that AmigaOS do on 7 mhz 512k  with linux     :roll:

I think he was asking about advantages that are still relevant _today_.

errr!!! yes you cannot run quake 4, but why I need gazillions of cores, multi MHZ and tons of megabytes for only coping files, view the content of a media, or read o view simple text files or pictures?

A wait now your response will be: but today memory are cheap and computer have tons of memory.Ohh!!! yeahh!! and earth resources are unlimited  :crazy: because a resource are avaliable in quantity not means that you should waste it.And most handheld devices have limited memory and they try to do all that a desktop do

Because you don't?

WTF? Did you also say that when the Amiga appeared on the market?

Everybody should keep using their VIC-20, ok, you can run Defender of the Crown on this Amiga, but who need 512kb of memory just for copying files! And who needs a GUI anyway? It's much faster to just type the commands and it doesn't have to boot something like a Workbench!!1!"  :crazy:  :lol:

I don´t say don´t buy this technology, I say don´t waste it, if you could do the same with less memory, why waste it? only because you have 10X time more?.The 8 bit machines were exploded to the max, they touched ceiling and exceeded it.Do you really belive that today chips are exploted to the maximun?
