Sigh, I was trying to but I can't get this shit to work. I bought a BOSS Katana amp and it refuses to work with FX Floorboard. After some searching, turns out that this is a very common problem and the only workaround is some shitty hacky fix. Apparently, the issue was "fixed" in an updated kernel sometime around New Year's, so I thought updating my kernel would fix it. Of course it didn't fucking work. Through some reading, some guy said that he got it to work by qtjackctl. So I looked up how to do this qtjackctl business, and lo and behold it turns out that I need a LOW LATENCY kernel for audio production. Fuck this, I have a Windows computer that I use to play pirated movies and shows on my TV; I'm just going to pirate some nice propietary audio software production and not give a fuck if some micro$hill asshole spies on me making shitty music. At this point, I just want something to just werk™.

It's great that they are. For intensive single-purpose machines like video editing rigs, Linux often has a better capability to specialize and ends up being the smarter base to use to get the most out of the system without making a system from scratch, so we've now seen official professional support on a couple of OSs for Davinci Resolve, for example (my sore spot was video editing). I had heard many times audio production like DAWs were always a sore-spot for Linux along with CAD, so it's good to see progress being made. Getting VSTs to work is awesome because it would be a killer to not have sausage fattener :^)

I'm unironically switching to WIndows for the sole purpose of music. I tried Ardour, it has a really shitty UI, you can't even change language through the GUI, and the creator says he will never implement that cause you can just LC_ALL=X, I can tell where the priorities lie.
LMMS is very unfinished and broken, and Renoise is like going from Photoshop to GIMP; its functional, but its a completely different workflow. I suck at music, and I wanna learn how to not suck, now how to use a completely different program. Bitwig looks decent, but I don't have money and all the cracked versions are old.
I tried WINE but it was just broken. This coupled with old JP games not being very kind to WINE (and font rendering) has triggered me to make the switch. Bless Bill Gates. Bless Windows.

>>12270Windows became the dominant desktop operating system while having worse bugs. And this video is not representative of the normal "Linux experience" they are specifically going for gaming, which is still in the process of maturing because historically Linuxers didn't care much about gaming because they wanted the play with the computer operating system more than they wanted to play games. And going with Nvidia cards which are notoriously finicky also made their experience worse, by contrast Amd cards for the most part just work without any configuration, unless you want advanced features.
Very few video games are actually opensource software which makes them harder to install on linux. In the next 10 years game engines and game content will become separate programs, so that only a few engine software packages have to be optimized and debugged while the game content software packages will become a lot more portable on the technical end. Think of it like the game engine being like a video player and the game content package like a mp4 file. Eventually there will be opensource game engine packages that can play most game-content packs, that's when all of this becomes easier.

>>12340I think his comment of freedom is wrong, in Linux you really can add any functionality you want, while in windows you just can't. What Microsoft does is lay down a path where a lot of the time "id just worgs" but anybody who wants to go into another direction has to fight with technology on a level that is far worse than anything on the Linux side. There are people on windows that again have to fight with technology just to configure what their default browser is, that is a good indicator that Microsoft is trying to make their path narrower. If the audio stack on Linux sucks then that is cause for constructive criticism, not for tooting the corporate horn.

>>22442GTK depends on dbus (or more specifically atk) since gtk3. Many gtk4 applications deliberately don't respect the system theming (see
https://stopthemingmy.app). It doesn't help that with each new version gtk becomes slower and more bloated, which is the reason i purged any software depending on gtk3 or later from my laptop.
Many post-gtk3 applications also use flat design, as is evident in the zrythm screenshot with many graphic elements not being clearly visible buttons and monochromatic. The only things it gets right are the noticeable separators between menus, a few skeumorphisms, the wide color range and the dense ui. I really like the motif-inspired design gtk2 has by default.

GTK4 uses GL to render windows and reserves video memory for it also. You can't expect that a framework written recently will be the same or use the same resources as a framework written 20+ years ago. When GTK2 was written, we had dual-core computers with 2G RAM. You can't expect modern frameworks/technologies to be able to run on ancient hardware, that's not how it works.
