How does anyone put up with using that OS? It’s 2024, it’s time to move on. Sheesh

The only two things making me use windows for now are my inability to run FL Studio on Linux (I tried before, I'll try again)

Procrastination to go through my files to see if there's something worth backing up before I wipe my drive

There are alternative DAWs but ngl they all make me sad. And some vsts are a nightmare to get running too.

But they are alot better than trying to get fl running on Linux imo. Check out zrythm if you ever have some time to kill. It sounds lile the most promising one.

I'm just in love with FL's keyboard roll and I'm just used to the entire daw. I don't really want to switch to a different one

I think Bottles has a ready-made profile for installing FL, last I saw it was marked as silver quality. Might be worth a try? I'm a Bitwig user so I haven't needed to try it. :p (Though I have heard tales of FL's magnificent piano roll.)

Its honestly amazing. I keep hearing bitwig is the way to go if you want to use linux and also be happy

I'm gonna save this comment for the time when I eventually switch (I got shitton of WIP stuff)

These days it's best to use Windows on computer where you need it for a specific application, and another machine for your desktop. Sometimes with a switch so you can use the same keyboard/mouse/monitor

I know someone who uses one of those beelink minis or similar as a dedicated machine to run their 3d printer because the company doesn't support Linux as well as Windows.

It sucks to have to keep your nice production machine separate from your desktop, but it really beats the headache of virtualization or dual booting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depending on use case, virtualization can actually be way easier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's really interesting! How so? I'd figure that windows would have the better hardware support so running it in vm would be weird

Check out Ardour for music production 👍

There are way too many nice features on Windows that don't exist or are time consuming to set up on Linux. My only pain point on Windows, other than the stupid pop-ups advertising other services, are the fact that I can't install individual GNU tools like nano easily.
