I dislike Windows as much as the next guy, and recognize this is just a rant. However:
Installing is just following directions. It’s maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with
there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver
I mean, there is. It just isn’t recommended for most users.
FYI: If you aren’t aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)
Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.
Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn’t personally recommend it.
Also i have a second panel at the top of my second monitor so i can always see the current date and time.
I think this one is probably very popular. I had a very hard time giving Gnome a chance because of its inability to do this by default.
True that
Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of “I disagree!”
Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.
Reasons are usually just newest kernel/mesa/etc. Most of the time the difference is very small, and often inconsequential. However, every now and again there is a major development that might make it worth it (IE: The graphics pipeline that all but made dxvk-async obsolete)
The plugins would almost certainly work in a VM, but I imagine that latency would become a big headache. For my purposes, I picked up a Beelink mini pc and called it a day.
So in terms of DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), Linux already has Bitwig, Reaper, Arour, LMMS, and possibly others. Personally, I find the bigger issue comes from plugin developers (the DAW is your main program, and you add your sounds/effects through plugins). Most companies are not delivering anything Linux native. Many of these plugins can be bridged with compatibility software, and will work fine that way. However, most of these plugins now are also using their own install/activation software center, and they are often a nightmare in Linux.
Music production is the one thing I currently keep a windows mini PC around for these days. It’s not impossible to make the transition to Linux, but the last thing I want when pursuing a creative endeavor is technical software challenges holding me up.
Maui has zero Linux support. I don’t believe there are any plans for it, either.
However, Avalonia is fully supported, and is almost a drop in replacement for WPF.
We are all tired on this day.
Right, that’s what I meant when I said “third party app”. Samsung can write an app to do this, but your average app installed from the play store likely cannot.
I’m not super well versed in the world of app development, but I would assume due to the way apps are sandboxed, this isn’t something that could be done with a third party app.
I really appreciate Open Source Alternative To for this (although their theme seems a little broken atm).
Where can you find an N100 for $60 with 4GB of memory?
EDIT: Nvm, found the comment replying to this mentioning Radxa boards. Just found them the other day. Very interested.
This has absolutely never been my experience. Many people actually say Wine is a better choice for running legacy windows games and applications.
