Zmud/Cmud questions

[Callesa]

Hi, I have recently returned to the mud and I seriously consider getting a better client. I'd be excited if you could help me deciding whether the money is worth it:

1. which one is more worth getting, is there any significant difference?

2.will it work, should I decide to switch from windows to ubuntu?
I don't feel like giving full access to every click of mine to microsoft and third parties by upgrading to Windows 10.

3.Is there an up to date map I could easily view inside? I am horrible at orientation in many areas and using an old jpg map outside the client isn't too comfortable.

4.Is it hard to learn to create targetting/channeling script and such things?

Thanks a lot for the answers!

I always feel that Cmud is a bit faster than Zmud, but others feel differently.

I've heard people say that Lyren's site has a map. I'm not sure how up to date it is.

Has a few maps that work with cmud and/or zmud that are pretty recent, you can also tweak it a bit and work on it if you want, targetting scripts arent too hard to create, you can always find some that work too.

Great, thanks!
Now my last question. Whether this not that cheap miracle will work, should I switch to ubuntu.

yTin is faster than any client and has everything you need! Being lost is fun and good for the soul

Both the zmud and cmud versions were updated last month.
