TIL. That definitely puts me off, like WTF? How can you fuck up a perfectly upgradable Debian like that?

LOL

I already edited my comment to say “one of the first” 3 hours ago.

Also yes, I consider every linux DE that isn’t Gnome or KDE “smaller”.

Neat!

Mint’s relative lethargy at migrating to wayland has been increasingly becoming a sore point due to the sheer practical difference it makes

I mean, pretty much every desktop environment that’s not Gnome or KDE has been dragging its feet. AFAIK Cinnamon is on track to be *the first smaller DE with full wayland support. I understand that you don’t want to wait if you’re actually interested in some of wayland’s features, though.

*one of

This again? You need some variety, dude. At least switch up in which community you post these. And it still doesn’t make sense to post this in c/programming.

IDK, the hops taste that most popular beer brands have is kinda similar, too.

If there’s an alcoholic drink that’s akin to horse piss, surely that’s beer? Beer drinkers who don’t like a specific brand always say that it tastes like piss, the net result being that for any given brand, there’s a significant amount of people who claim that it tastes like piss.

Assuming that human piss is similar to horse piss. You sound like you know more about horse piss than I do, OP.

Especially with games where it runs fine in the starting area, but performance tanks once you enter The City.

I really hope they won’t completely fuck it up, though, it would be a really neat feature.

Neat. It’s going to be interesting how they will solve the issue of different quality settings - I don’t care about FPS at “ultra” settings, usually it’s more important how the FPS are at low settings before you have to take desperate measures like turning down the resolution, completely turning off antialiasing, using upscaling etc. that have an extremely negative effect on graphics fidelity.

Also, two games running at an average of 60FPS might give very different experiences depending on how consistent the FPS are.

NixOS has a lot of visibility, probably because the basic concept is so appealing to people who like to tinker with their OS. But its user base is still tiny.

I bet you can rig up something microphone-based, there’s tons of software nowadays for analyzing audio, and you don’t need to run the analyzing software on the device with the microphone anyway. Though the analyzing would likely take a little bit longer that you’d want it to.

No, it increases by the amount of showers. Lots of people just don’t wash often, they don’t necessarily replace each bath with a shower.

I think Ardour is the only open source DAW that’s actually full-featured, and IMO it’s not great for MIDI-based workflows. Huge downgrade from Ableton. That’s based on version 5, though, I last used it maybe 2021 - maybe the current version is better.
LMMS is worth checking out, but back when I last tried it maybe 4 years ago I couldn’t get into it, the documentation was very barebones and like most DAWs it’s too complicated to go without.

Bespoke Synth is pretty cool and actually fairly intuitive even though it’s way different from a standard DAW, watching half of the overview video on their homepage is already enough to get you going. The name is a bit misleading IMO, it’s closer to a DAW than to a synth and you can even use it as a host for other synth plugins that supports both VST and LV2 (in contrast to Bitwig, which only supports VST). It was pretty crashy for me when I was working with external plugins, though.

Reaper is closed source.

Ubuntu Studio is still going strong. There’s a lot of legitimate criticism for Ubuntu, but it still works very well as an OS.

That’s really cool!

Sonic Visualizer to figure out the exact notes used in the original tracks.

Does it have any specific functions for this that applications like Audacity or a DAW don’t have, or did you choose it for other reasons?

TIL it’s open source, neat.

First time I’ve seen that, that is such a cool concept!

Maybe this post would be better suited for [email protected] ?

I used Ardour, an entire open source DAW. Definitely more powerful than Audacity for this kind of thing, and I’m much more comfortable with MIDI notation than traditional music notation, too. I did eventually switch to Bitwig though, because I use a lot of samples and synth plugins and Bitwig’s workflow and UI for that is just a lot better than Ardour’s.

There are quite a few pretty good open source VST/LV2 plugins, e.g. ZynAddSubFX is a really powerful software synth and Dragonfly Reverb is a neat reverb. There are more, unfortunately many open source plugins are only available in LV2 format and unfortunately Bitwig doesn’t support LV2.
