Crazy lol

Flex Tape (really all of the Flex stuff) is really good. I used it to repair a cracked bathtub over a decade ago, and it’s still there, working just as well as day one!

Very strange, because I’m also using Boost, and it’s fine for me.

Can’t reply to the person saying I was blocked, but is it possible that I was blocked from every comm on all of my Lemmy accounts? I don’t think I was mean to anyone, I’m generally a pretty chill dude.

:q!

Life, uhhhhh… finds a way

For it to be a fanfic, it has to be fictional

I mean her Mendocino beano

If Heroic doesn’t work, Bottles is usually my go-to for GOG games.

Arch users here, just touched grass for the first time. Felt like bloat, had my lawn paved.

Honestly, you’ve kinda already found one of the best, here on Lemmy! Other than that, depending on which distro you choose, the Arch community can be a little terse, but definitely the most knowledgeable and more than willing to help if you do your research first. The Mint community is pretty nice, and patient since the distro is aimed at newbies. LinuxMusicians is a nice forum, and not so distro-specific, but I’ve noticed that they tend to get bogged down in the “why” and not the “how” on occasion. Really, other than Phoronix and the LKML, the Linux community in general is pretty cool, just a few loud voices give us a bad rap for being too insular, but that’s changing pretty quickly.

Anytime! One of the best things about Linux is that if you’re having trouble, you can ask the community for help and more than likely, someone’s gonna know something about it, so help is just a post away! Have fun, and good luck!

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the sound driver thing has been sorted since pipewire came out, it acts as a sort of bridge between the different sound servers. As far as your plugins, I found two posts from the old place about it: here and here, I wouldn’t know specifically on those since I mostly use the open-source ones in the Arch repos. If neither of those help, you could try yabridge, which would be available from your distro’s package manager.

As far as DAWs, I’m using Ardour, which is completely free, but there’s also a couple of paid ones, REAPER, at $60 for individuals or $225 for a commercial license, and Bitwig, which costs between $100 and $400 depending on which license you buy. Personally, Ardour’s been fine for me.

Low-latency can be achieved a few different ways, Ubuntu has a distro called Ubuntu Studio that uses their own tricks to make it happen, it also comes with a bunch of extra stuff for graphic design and video editing. Personally, I went with Arch, and followed the instructions on the Arch wiki, and I see latencies in the low single digits of milliseconds. There’s also AV Linux and KX Studio , but I haven’t used those, so I couldn’t tell you much about them, other than that I hear good things about them.

That was a longer reply than I had intended, but if you make the switch, good luck and rock on!

I’ve been making an album on Linux, anything I can help with?

That’d be one hell of a punk rock album cover
