I've been considering making the move to Linux for a few months now. If this comes to pass that will more than likely be the final nail in the coffin. Based on what I've seen, Linux has become a lot more user friendly since I messed with it when I had it on a mini laptop back in the day.

Fuck Microsoft. Is there any decent music recording/editing/DAW type software for Linux?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There are a lot of pro audio tools available on Linux. I myself use some of the more basic tools, such as the universal plugin host Carla to host LV2/3, VST and LADSPA based audio plugins. And a basic lightweight MIDI mixing sftware called jack_mixer, combine that with a patchbay like qpwgraph, and virtual audio channels set up through pactl and I have a custom, lightweight but infinitely expandable plugin chain and mixer set up I can use for video recording and streaming.

But software ranges from that all the way to full featured integrated DAW setups and everything in between.

So I bought a Steamdeck, and while that is not my first experience with Linux.

It has opened my eyes to how easily it can replace my windows system for personal use.

Couldn't be happier, even with how locked down steamOS is, it lets me do anything I need.

I will never buy subscription software intended to run on my hardware.

If it runs on my machine, and any non-local services are not key to the core product functionality. I'm buying a perpetual license or you're not getting a penny.

Wait, how do the keywords they mentioned indicate anything about a subscription?
