A few updates: I'm seeing issues with 2550, 2549 and 2547 (With a 3rd party custom study I use, SC Exits as soon as the .dll is loaded under Windows 10 and Wine/Linux). I have let the 3rd party developer know and provided a chart and instructions that demonstrates the issue 100% of the time.

2540 is working great so I'm waiting for the issues to be resolved with the 3rd party.

Latest configuration:
SierraChart Version 2540 64 bit (2 instances)
Wine development-8.16
Mint Linux 21.1/Cinnamon desktop
Kernel 5.15.0-83 generic
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
GeForce GTX 1660 Nvidia/6 GB GDDR5/Driver 470.199.02/OpenGL
Dual Monitors 1920X1080 60 Hz for both monitors
Total System RAM: 16 Gig
Memory usage: <800 Meg each instance running 2 instances. I added some memory intensive studies.
CPU Utilization: <8% per SC instance. I have disabled SMT and allocated 4 processors per each of 2 instances (total of 8 processors). Experimenting to see if this improves high volatility price action during significant market events. I am using taskset -c to specifically allocate processors.
During FOMC on 9/20/23, data tracked very well with no hesitations with very high volatility. Will be keeping this setting of 4 CPUs per instance.
102 Charts, 4 instruments (ES, YM, NQ, RTY) 51 charts per instance
Denali data-feed with MBO data
Teton Order Routing with Stage5/Advantage
Rithmic for trader evaluations and PA account
RealVNC for remote access

Also, with such great performance and stability, I am adding a Linux Laptop from System76 to my home system with my goal over time to completely replace my current Microsoft Windows 10 laptop used for business, testing and SC support. I DO NOT plan to migrate beyond Windows 10! The only Windows specific applications other than SC are MS office applications and this will be a realistic attempt to completely eliminate MS Windows from MY LIFE! I further STRONGLY encourage and support SC to provide a native Linux offering!
