Happy Linux Birthday!
How does this relate to audio/music production on Linux?

 

Using Fedora 32 as primary OS on several laptops, because Windows 10 is ....
It was an interesting journey so far, not without hiccups for sure.
But WINE actually works extremely well with majority of VST2 plugs and instruments, together with LinVST.
Izotope RX7 is one of those things that doesn't work at all, despite fiddling with winetricks extensively.

 

Yep unfortunately Izotope's later releases are a none starter at mo but all the older stuff runs like a charm , im still on Ozone 5 lol

 

I guess it has to do with vcredist2017 and how its support under wine-staging is non-certain

 

Not sure bud , i guess so , its been a long time since i bothered diggin to deep , as long as my must have go-2s like my amp sims , nebula , omnisphere , toontrack , fabfilter , slate ect ect yadda yadda all light up im happy

 

You're running all that under 32bit wine prefix or 64bit?

 

Good

Bad

 

Reminds me of the Metallica vs Napster cartoon

 

Not sure , i always type sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 before i install wine then it runs all my 64 and any old 32 i still use ..........

 

Code:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

This should have no effect on the WINEPREFIX variable, by default Wine 5+ defaults to 64b, so, good to know.

 

Cool i must spend some time learning a bit more really , im not a very tec kinda guy considering i run a seemingly super nerdy setup lol

 

I'm just going to drop this here and quietly walk away, quite an interesting read from a kernel POV

Now thats proper nerd level stuff for sure haha , i messed with realtime when i first got into Linux then became a bigtime KX Studio freak using wineRT etc but now i just run it out of the box and lower my buffer when im tracking to keep them nasty latency issues at bay

 

Back when I started using Linux, you had to compile everything yourself. Took me most of the day to compile X and then the first KDE beta. I decided my kernel was too bloated, so I recompiled that too.

 

Haha every time i use the terminal i have to copy and paste from guys like yourself who actually know what they are doing , KDE ! i used to love that DE , even tolerated my pooter running at snails pace so i could have all the features lit up at once lol but all the stuff i milked it for are gone , unless its changed again , maybe ill give it another spin soon ................

 

I was just being lazy but good one

The napster thing reminds me when we first got internet wide-bandwidth at work (pre-DSL, very expensive). I was convinced it was a flat rate.
It wasn't
This close to being fired man. The 2 min it took to delete 500MB of MP3 were some of the worst of my life...

The very thought of doing it myself gives me the willies...

DSL was awesome, I used to go to work at the weekends just to download, we had a pipe off the ISP's backbone. I could download 700MB without thinking about it

 

So true, though ours wasn't that fast. I bought a Iomega ZIP drive for my home PC just to copy faster all the mp3/porn/etc I downloaded at work
We had one ZIP drive at work but not on my computer. My co-workers and boss thought I was doing voluntary extra hours staying later

 

Sometimes, for some things

 

once upon with ubuntu.. with qtractor.. kinda like going for truly genuine free open source software user that moment.. #p/s_haha #darkmodeON #warez
