Agreed, not just plugins its also Ableton Live for me! There is nothing that scratches that for me, bitwig does look promising eventually though. :)

Then on top of that wanting to develop games without learning another game engine (I'm far into a game, and can't change engine without starting again)

And I wanna play Baldurs Gate 3 again dammit! (To be fair I think that might work and haven't looked) :) .

I used Linux for 5 years and loved it, have a pi and a degoogled Foss phone as much as possible. I am an ally to it all, but have usecases which dictate Windows ... I think it's not unreasonable to want something to get better without binning 70℅ of why I use my computer. :)

Edit: I just learned this thread, wine might work with Ableton, this is great news :)

Thank you for sharing this! I have enjoyed thumbkey for a long while, but it's lovely being back on qwerty to try this out :) at minimum it means I have a keyboard to offer when other people use my phone! :)

Does this mean people loved my performance of "15 guitar pedals wired to create a feedback loop from hell"?

Perhaps it needed to be appreciated in another room, or I shall turn into another person in the next year or so... I fear it!

That's a very fair opinion too! I feel they changed about 4 times as a band (understandably I guess as they were about for 3 decades), and damn Life's Rich Pageant was special - it's one I play very often, and it is stacked! :)

It's the best they sounded as a pure rock band, even though I have such a soft spot for Murmur. New Adventures touched on that feeling again, but it wasn't front to back perfect in the same way (partly because of its length!)

The trouble I have is I couldn't imagine life without what came after Life's Rich Pageant, for instance Automatic meant a great deal to me, as it was the first album I remember hearing and loving growing up. :)

As massive R.E.M. fan, this made me conflicted! Automatic for the People is beautiful, and most days my favourite, but I wouldn't want to miss where the band went after.

Their last album was brilliant, Accelerate was fun... I know AftP was a hell of a peak, but I can't find it in me to write off anything except a chunk of Around the Sun...

Thank you for allowing me to talk about my favourite band. :)

Thank you for mentioning /e/os, this is the first I've heard of it and it looks like a nice open source os without making using it a chore! 😁

I might give it a go over the weekend once I've backed up everything. 😊

That is impressive! It makes me want to have a project idea just to try it out! :)

Not sure why this made me look but it is cool that Linux as a whole has a bigger user share than Windows 7 and 8.

I am relishing the idea of switching, I just need my last few creative outlets (mostly music software) to work on Linux fully, and I will jump. 😊

I am the same - I obliterated all my posts and comments, and try to see whatever answer I can't find elsewhere, and run.

It was much easier than I thought it would be, which was a nice surprise. :)

Lil Server Issue sadly is my name! Https being silly I should think 😁

I like making mini projects with Godot or Unity on the computer, or sometimes actually use my guitars or weird toy/synth instruments. 😁 Shout out to the Korg Monotron for getting me into all this!
