Hello everyone. I'm a bioinformatics student from Holland and my internship supervisor just told me he's thinking about ordering a license for CLC Genomics Workbench. He asked me if analyses would run much faster if he'd run it on Linux. I know Linux can be much faster in some situations (e.g. web servers), but I have no idea when it comes data analyses with tools like this.
Do any of you have experience with this? Does Linux have advantages / disadvantages over Windows when it comes to do data analysis with CLC Genomics Workbench (or similar tools)? And if Linux would be significantly faster, would that mean we could purchase a computer with less RAM to save costs?
