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

For sure!

3 or more posts

Alright, but what if my music is applicable to more than one community? Like, it’s a punk album, so I’ll probably post it on the music communities and the punk communities, as well as the aforementioned !imadethis@lemm.ee. Not trying to spam, but just typing “music” in the search bar brings up five communities where my content would be applicable. Good looking out though, that’s why I asked!

Thanks! You’d be the guy to know what communities go with which posts haha

Cool, yeah will do!

For sure, that’s why I was asking about an “imadethis” community, like a community explicitly for self-promotion. Looks like there is one on lemm.ee, so I’ll definitely post there once I am truly finished with the thing.

Thanks! Yeah, me too lol, it’d be kind of a bummer to have put all this work into it and then no one listens to my tunes! Most of them are pretty good!

Yeah, fair enough, just thought I’d get a feel for the vibe before I just did the thing. It’s probably gonna be at least a month before I release anything, but like I said in the post, I don’t see other musicians posting their stuff here, so I just wanted to make sure it was cool.

I’m on Ironwolf now

Edit: It’s Ironfox, I got that and Librewolf confused in my brain thingy

Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!

“It’s very windy today!”

I would. As much as I’ve tried, I can’t lose the Texan accent, I hate it because that’s totally not how I sound in my head.

Breadfast

Most people don’t know this, but speed bumps are actually hollow. They use a balloon to make the shape, then pour a thin layer of asphalt over it for aesthetic reasons. This saves money on asphalt, which is popular with city councils, so the asphalt is typically saved for more speed bumps rather than filling potholes.

You are absolutely correct, I apologize.

I use DarkReader on Librewolf, works just fine. In fact, all of my extensions work.

Mull browser is deprecated, Ironfox is the community fork

Oops, they forgot. GIMP 3.0 now set for release in 2028!
