But I run a summer festival on linux!

  • Tech drawings on QCad
  • Lights & previz on MagicQ
  • Emails etc on firefox

Our media servers are W7 (!) but I access them with VNC. And lots of screens/beamers here are on PI computers.

...then of course we need a windows laptop for the wireless mics, for the FoH configuration, the videowall, stuff like that. Mails and docs are google anyway, remote access is teamviewer.

I can't run it all on linux, even if I sit at a linux computer the most.

Why do you think Immutable Distros are all the rage these days? Beyond deleting shit, there's always Fucking Up shit.

I built an entire theatre using Linux. Architect was on autocad, that was alright, but engineering was on vectorworks & there I had to ask for .dxf exports.

Qlab (macos) is 100% a no-go, I actually own a macbook just for this piece of software.

Isadora runs on wine, but video play is problematic. Isadora is a video mapper/VJ/mixing software.

Of the big three of lighting console software, only Chamsys' MagicQ runs on Linux. Infuriating when you know Grand MA consoles are linux-based. ETC? Don't ask.

It's niche (how about Enttec or DMXKing interfaces configurator?) but it's my niche. I survive doing things differently, and, yes, owning a dual-boot AsahiLinux/MacOS device.

🥱 hmmm ? Il s'est passé quoi ?

That you can "do everything that windows does". You can't. You can do similar things, you can do different things, you can do basic things, yes, but Linux can't do everything that windows does.

disclaimer: on linux since 2006

Yes, a catastrophy. I never had lenses degrade so fast, and we're talking expensive Zeiss stuff with medical coverage.

That was my first "no" here, never again.

Next time ask your lenses without. Mines are the same, I have a new prescription & just told the shop "no". No anti-blue, no ant-reflection, no nothing, just the hardest material available.

Then the eff with them. If something isn't available retail, there's a million other online retailers more local, more specialized, or just plain out of the manufacturer itself.

You can live without. Or you help them becoming even more dominant.

Fight it. Fight them.

Indeed. If whatsapp isn't on the list, then I have all the confirmation I need.

Reverse-image-truc ? J'ai pas essayé, mais de toutes les images postées celle-ci est sans doute la plus révélatrice.
