Full steps: Install DigUp on Windows.

Linux: .deb vs AppImage

  1. Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ / Mint 21+: .deb → sudo apt install ./DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_amd64.deb.
  2. Other distros: AppImage → chmod +x then run.
  3. Hotkey Ctrl+Shift+Space; GNOME/KDE Wayland may register during setup.

Full steps: Install DigUp on Linux.

GPU vs CPU — read speed.log

DigUp picks GPU when faster with matching results; otherwise CPU. Check the last line:

# Windows (path may vary by build)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\…\logs\speed.log

# Linux (path may vary by package)
~/.local/share/…/logs/speed.log

# Look for: "device": "gpu"  or  "device": "cpu"

Exact folder names follow DigUp’s release notes for your build — open Settings / docs if the path differs.
