My non Linux savvy spouse is currently dual booting Linux Mint because Windows has become so frustrating to use.
Mint isn’t perfect. We’ve run into a few bugs and shortcomings. But there’s a big difference between dealing with genuine issues in an OS and using one that feels actively hostile and designed to exploit the user.
If both experiences can be frustrating, why choose the one that’s frustrating by design (unless you absolutely have to) ?
I’ve used Linux for a decade now and windows is so much more buggy and shortcoming. Including new bugs.
Most of my music software doesn’t function correctly on Linux :(
What software
FL studio along with a whole pile of third party VSTs, plus lots of weird audio routings and everything in 96kHz.
Bitwig is neat, but I’d have to buy like $1500 in third party VSTs to do what I do in FL.
Personally I’ve used FL with Bottles on Fedora with terra-wine-staging package and everything except webviews (FL cloud which I don’t use anyway) works perfecly (and cpu usage is higher than on windows)
I really wish they’d had the balls and/or the legal power to keep calling it FruityLoops.
I mean it’s massively outgrown the original looper app it used to be. It’s top tier for DAW choices now.
You should consider a VM
How much worse is the latency going to get
IDK
You probably know this already, but Reaper is fully Linux compatible, it’s not FL, so you’ll have to adapt, but it is great
I’ll have to adapt and buy $1,000 in third party VSTs to not have as good of a mixing/mastering solution as what’s built into FL :(
I seriously doubt that, maybe run your setup past the forum and ask?
We’re going to MAKE people ADDICTED by
making a REALLY Good Product!SOLVING annoying Problems!TREATING Customers respectfully!FORCING ourselves Onto people like Donald Trump on Little Girls!Have they tried making it better, I feel like I’m more likely to become addicted to it if it was good.
Oh they’re making me addicted alright. I can’t stop installing Linux on things. Its like a new vice for my devices
If they want people addicted to an AI, it’s going to have to be a lot better than fucking Copilot.
As slop generators go, it’s about the sloppiest.
Maybe their target audience are masochists?
Well, as a Windows user I can see the appeal
I can’t fault them for this business plan. It has worked for the opioid business professionals time and time again, for centuries!
Yeah, we know
BREAKING - Companies want customers to get addicted to their products!!!1
No shit, Sherlock.
And people would actually happily get addicted to an AI assistant which is reliable, safe, capable, kind, and fast.
They really should try making a great product. Then they don’t need any tricks. People love great products.And local and under your control. As a “second brain” that isn’t sentient but intelligent to assist you AI has great potential. In a few years we’ll probably have the models and new hardware to run good enough models locally on cheap enough hardware.
But by then they’ll have drummed enough support for “muh copyright” to buy legislation for AI licensing and make all AI models have to pay a license fee to… “someone”. Like that poor writer who had his work illegally read by an AI. So then no open source models can exist and they have the monopoly. Big win for the little guy lol.
The answer to “copyright” overreach is just piracy. I can play pirated games, watch pirated movies, listen to pirated music… Of course, I will be able to just use a pirated model locally. Or I can just use a Chinese or Russian one - they can speak English just fine.
This strategy worked so well for Bing
Duckduck go is thriving using Bing without the AI bullshit.
And Clippy
Today i tried to unbind the windows key from a computer because it was getting annoying. Tutorials pointed to the registry. I found nothing but ended up understanding why some keyboards directly have locks on that stupid key
Explains why they want you to think it’s also a person.
Hold on let me put on my surprised look
