The sad reality of audio software has been that usually the paid commercial software is better and more reliable. I’ve used Audacity alot for work, and it gets it the job done, but tools like iZotope RX are light years beyond in features and UI/UX.

This graphic is missing Bitwig in the AU section. Definitely worth mentioning since it runs on Linux/OS X/Win.

9000M. Unless you’re designing a new laptop or SFF PC, you’ll never need to buy one direct.

Aren’t those packages alternate Proton or GE-Proton versions that were installed via ProtonUp-QT?

I run an all AMD system and I still get those updates.

I just made the switch from a 3080 ti to a 7900 xtx and definitely agree, the difference is huge, but I wonder how much of that is the 2 generation upgrade leap or AMD vs Nvidia.

A lot of Oscar nominated films don’t get theatrical releases to enough theaters for to make that possible. Screener copies have historically been sent as DVDs with individually coded embedded tracking metadata.

I run a dual boot system with no issues at all. Just need a second drive for Linux and let GRUB chain load the Windows disk.

I’ve been working on getting set up for music production on Linux, it is possible, but it has a lot more challenges. Manjaro Linux running the 6.13 RT kernel has worked well for stability with Bitwig Studio and Ardour, but the amount if plugins that are impossible or very difficult to install makes it feel limited.

I wish I could use Linux for everything, but there are still things you need Windows to run. It would be amazing to be able to run Nuke, Houdini, Ableton Live and the Native Instruments manager on Linux, but it’s not remotely possible now.

Glad I grabbed a Cydrums when it first came out.

I’ll just leave this here.

Make it invite only.

More importantly, be very careful and super picky about what instances you federate with. If you’re federated with an instance that has CSAM uploaded to it, you’re now hosting CSAM on your server.

Noob question for you: what does “trivially reproducable” mean?

I feel that pain too, I had an Intel Skull Canyon NUC with the VEGA 56, and one day, no more graphics drivers!

Still mad about it, but not as mad as I am about Nvidia’s prices.

I just swooped my first AMD card to upgrade my 8 year old Nvidia card. The prices even on 40 series Nvidia cards are complely insane. I’m done with Nvidia.

I went to Manjaro (Arch) with KDE from Mint about 5 months ago, and it’s been nearly flawless, allowed me to easily install a real time processing kernel for audio production, and it’s run every game I’ve thrown at it performs better than Winblows.

Manjaro with KDE Plasma has been working pretty flawlessly with an nvidia card for me.
