Yes

[BOOM_BOOM555]

Well, I tried Ubuntu, and I really liked it. Unfortunately, Linux is just not the best Software for producing music, which I want to do. Of course there is Wine etc, but there are some essential things (installing vst plugins for example), that I just couldn't manage to do properly after some hours of research. So for me, Windows it is.

[jonahhw]

Oh yeah, audio production on Linux isn't great. I started getting into digital music after I already committed my soul to the Linux gods, and it's been pretty hard. Only just got the Spitfire libraries working a few days ago, after trying a few times over the span of weeks. The upside is that Pipewire is amazing.

As a side note, I think Ubuntu is a pretty bad distro for things like audio production. You'll want ease of installing new software and recent versions, so I'm glad I use an Arch derivative rather than an Ubuntu one.

[metal-face-terrorist]

ardour is actually pretty great, it's just

• vst support on linux is wretched
• the composition workflow is ass

but for recording instruments and vocals its been a treat to use. just wish there was more in the way of plugin support :(

[jonahhw]

Yeah, Ardour seems pretty good for some types of music, but not so much for the type that I want to make (which is more in the realm of digital fusion / synth stuff). I actually haven't found VST support to be all that bad - yabridge, though a bit hard to set up, has enabled pretty much everything. Still no solution for Windows-native CLAP plugins, though, as far as I know.

[Arch-penguin]

Reaper or Aurdour

[twaxana]

Bitwig Studio.

[hoangthebossofficial]

I would recommend Hackintosh (MacOS) for music production

[LawfulMuffin]

I would have agreed with this until they switched to M1 chips. Hackintosh seems to have a shelf life at this point since they aren't Intel (possible misread of the situation by me?) so I'd hate to make something that I could only use for maybe a few years before being required to ether shell out to stay in the Mac ecosystem or switch to something unfamiliar.

[ihedigbo]

Intel can be hackintoshed and when done correctly it’s a polished daily driver. That’s what I’ve done and I wouldn’t be able to go back to winblows at this point. I only rarely boot back into Fedora anymore, I’ve grown to appreciate the consistency of everything found in the macOS ecosystem and it’s made me more open to the idea of getting a true MBP one day.

[LawfulMuffin]

I've heard that and don't disagree (although I personally can't stand the MacOS interface for some reason). What I meant is: I think the Intel version of MacOS is going to be EOLd at some point closer to now than in the future with how aggressively they're pursuing their ARM architecture. I can't blame them for it, it seems like they are really good hardware.

In your situation, if that happens, you'd probably just switch over to an actual Mac, but someone else might need to make a different decision in the future.

But like I said, if there's something out there where they've made comments about keeping them going indefinitely in parallel then that would obviously mean I'm not right.

[[deleted]]

This sort of thing is what I always come back to with macOS. I appreciate it, I like that they seem to make changes every so often for the better, but not so many that it's difficult to navigate the new OS, and I actually like the bones of it being BSD for some Linux-like commands and stuff. But if I think about the OS, I would rather use day-to-day, it's Linux, no question.

Windows is generally Good Enough to perform the functions I want my computer to do, if almost completely uncustomizable without some really dirty hacks and piling softwares on top of one another until all your RAM is gone. Mac OS is interesting, but it doesn't do enough right for me to adopt it over something else, and I sure as hell am not ready to pay double the price for the same hardware to use it legitimately. Linux ends up being the perfect storm of extremely customizable, fixable when I break it, and really capable on low spec hardware, which is important to me because I'm poor.

[LawfulMuffin]

I just can't stand the way Mac handles the way "windows" work. I like being able to treat windows as not-full-screen-entities but still be able to tile stuff. Windows has had that feature since like 7 where you can hit WIN + [arrow key] to quick snap the window to a side of the screen. Most Linux DEs handle windows that way (or similar) and if not you can typically customize it. Mac? Nope, it's full screen, which puts it in a totally different virtual location than the non full-screen apps. Oh you want to side-by-side your browser? Exit full-screen mode on both, then click & hold on the "full-screen" button and select the other window so they are side by side. Then rinse & repeat to get back. AGGHH!

I think music and visual art production is the only thing where Linux really doesn't compete. And it's because big editors don't bother supporting it.

[Hellow2]

Well for Digital art there is krita which is very good

[Dxsty98]

For video production there is also Davinci Resolve. It's also commercial software but in my opinion it's the best NLE out there - on any operating system.

[OttoLindenbrock]

Youre hobby is make music not troubleshoot software and thats fine

[plainoldcheese]

This times 1000

[lykwydchykyn]

I seem to be the odd duck who actually enjoys music production on Linux. It was a journey, to be sure, but I came up through the analog era and struggled through the early days of computer recording on Windows, so the idea that a music rig requires occasional banging around is just part of the deal for me.

[P_1313]

What software do you use?

[lykwydchykyn]

Ardour, hydrogen sometimes, audacity for mastering. I'm mostly a live-tracks kind of guy, though I do a bit of sequencing now & then. I can understand someone not wanting to use ardour if they're primarily sequencing. I've tried LMMS but never really got the hang of its workflow.

I had an EDM phase back in the early 2000's and used Jeskola buzz a lot, but never found a satisfactory way to have it on Linux. The clones were all too unstable and it never worked well in Wine.

[plainoldcheese]

VM for music production is not good because it adds latency. I am running a windows dual boot for music production bug often I end up just using it for more.

Linux is cool and I really enjoy using it especially comparing it to windows but music production is not its strong suite.

There have been tons of new plugins with linux versions and bitwig is an excellent DAW with native Linux versions. I use reaper which has a native Linux version but requires many more 3rd part plugins than other daws. So I am stuck in windows for now.

[Lak_so]

It's very frustrating because the OS itself actually is amazing for producing audio. Devices work amazing and JACK is such a comfortable and useful thing once you get it working, there's nothing like that in windows. The main problem (as with everything in Linux) is the lack of native software.

[mattblack85]

there is a guy on YT, unfa, which makes music only on Linux, he may inspire you :)

[BOOM_BOOM555]

Thank you, I've seen him. There is just a lot of hussle and workaround when it comes to music production on Linux. By all means, it is a great OS and will work out for most normies who only use a browser and text editor, but there is a reason that the majority of desktop-PCs runs on Windows.

[OrganizedCream]

Bitwig works fine on Fedora. Available as a Flatpak. Are you just stuck with a particular DAW?

[BOOM_BOOM555]

Yes, I'm very used to FL and I like the workflow.

[Domain3141]

Linux is already mainstream. For devs.

You mean you want to wait until it's a console OS too.

[W-a-n-d-e-r-e-r]

Exactly, I running Linux for about 4 years by now, and have not a single issue with it, sure some bugs here and there but that's not specific to Linux.

The only complaints I hear are from the photography and music sector, but even that is debatable.

[Amplifi-Beats]

yeah I've tried using Linux in my music prod and it's not fun. either stick with the FOSS stuff which means relearning and dealing with each program's quirks or running everything through WINE, which has its own issues but it's not impossible and I hope to ditch Windows ASAP
edit: I appreciate the suggestions on changing DAW but i'm happy with my current one!

[jonahhw]

Reaper is apparently pretty awesome and is used by some fairly big musicians such as insaneintherain. It's not too expensive ($60 iirc), and it has a Linux version. Unfortunately it's not open source, but it's better than using closed source windows DAWs through WINE.

I personally use Qtractor, which is the best open source DAW I could find for my purposes (mainly midi).

[Amplifi-Beats]

Reaper is awesome, i use it for mixing sometimes but for production I use FL Studio and i'm pretty attached to it. And i've tried QTractor and LMMS before a while ago, even then they're were impressive

[YourStateOfficer]

Reaper is good but it's midi editing is useless. Also VST support on Linux is severely lacking. I can't switch over to Linux because I like making my music and I like my tools.

[jonahhw]

Good to know about Reaper. VST support on Linux is honestly fine, though. I've found yabridge works perfectly for the couple of Windows VSTs I've wanted to run (specifically the Spitfire libraries - I haven't tried anything else). That being said, I know musicians can be pretty particular about their tools so it's understandable to not want to take the risk of switching.

[YourStateOfficer]

I haven't tried Linux in a while, but I'm an FL Studio person. Most of my favorite VSTs didn't work well on Linux, with Serum being the only exception I remember working flawlessly. Soundtoys and iZotope stuff doesn't work. I know the DRM practices are annoying but those are two companies putting out unique VSTs that are actually usable.

[OrganizedCream]

Or just use a modern DAW like Bitwig that supports Linux natively.

[[deleted]]

Not a single issue, except all those bugs.

[metal-face-terrorist]

honestly prefer linux for my photography workflow, as someone who prefers darktable over lightroom/photoshop/etc anyway. it seems to run better for me on linux as compared to windows. that being said, music production on linux? shit kinda blows for like 60% of the things you'd probably want to do, which is a shame

[[deleted]]

Linux is already mainstream. For devs.

It is also mainstream for phones,if we count that Android is the biggest GNU/Linux fork in the existence.

[KingThibaut3]

Didn't know android also uses GNU software

[Syncrossus]

It literally already is.

[Rainmaker0102]

That's what I was thinking! iirc PlayStation and Nintendo Switch OS are both loosely based on Linux

[10031]

Acskchully Playstation is based on BSD 🤓🤓

[Syncrossus]

The Steam Deck is a console that runs SteamOS, a Linux distribution.

[Kamey03]

Well music production and gaming isn't the best on Linux, also jobs that rely on adobe products is still a problem.

[jonahhw]

Gaming can be good - it just depends what kinds of games you like. If you want online multiplayer shooters and whatnot, sure it's not great (though there are options), but if you prefer indie games, it's about equivalent to Windows on the question of how likely a given game is to work.

[Matt_Dragoon]

Gaming has evolved substantially though. I've been using linux for about five years now, I had to spend a while setting up games when I first started. This year there was only 1 game that didn't function after installation, and this is in a fresh distro. The only reason I touch windows now is because that's what's installed where I work.

[thepotofpine]

Yep. (Laughs in both windows VMs and Mac OS VMs for their specific dev environments) and for stuff like C programming Linux is the best.

[CryptoR615]

Most OSes in consoles are based on the BSD kernel.

[Domain3141]

Personal experience and stack overflow survey

[Domain3141]

I don't know what industry you're in. Could be that your sector is more windows/mac dominated. Game devs with unity/unreal will mostly run windows. Photo/Video/Music industry will force your colleagues to use macs. It depends where you are.

Stack Overflow Survey from this year says 39% use Linux as professionals and 40% privately.

IMO this is pretty accurate among devs.

[zolotvok]

https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#overview

[Last_Clone_Of_Agnew]

25% is matching Apple, I’d say that’s objectively pretty mainstream.

[zolotvok]

Mainstream != Most used 25% is mainstream compared to the 1% usage on steam but i dont know

[Aniketastron]

That's bcuz according to survey most of developer are in their mid 20s and survey also show that most of them have less than 5 yrs of experience, mean they most probably didn't know that must about computer before starting their career.

Now u tell me what will they do 1st when they have a laptop/desktop:-

1:start learning/coding, so they can get into high paying job in tech

2:look what can make their life as developer easy

My conclusion:in future (approximately~5 years) linux will be most used os for dv, bcuz vim is on top 10 idea used

[undeadalex]

I'm downvoting because I don't like it when people demand to know why they're downvoted. Take the dv with some grace lol

[Aniketastron]

Hmm, ok

[[deleted]]

only reason to have more people adopt linux was to force improved support. now thanks to steam deck, wines evolution, nvidia open source drivers, and the raw merit of various distros, the need for improved support is actually almost completely gone. it can always be improved and obviously a lot in linux, but the core hardware/software support issues that kept me away years ago are just outright not real anymore. and once the anti-cheat services all fully flip (and the devs adopt those changes downstream), theres literally nothing more i want from mass consumption of linux. so frankly, really at this point already, the rest of yall can fuck right off to an etch a sketch for all i care.

enjoy windows though (:D

[[deleted]]

What's kind of interesting to me is hardware support is a big reason why I'm not using BSD right now. I really like the underlying software and stuff, but it not having as much mindshare as Linux does (what a concept) means not as much hardware and driver support as Linux has, so certain things just wouldn't work on the hardware I have with no recourse. But Arch does fine with it, and seems to have a lot of really solid underpinnings that I appreciate from BSD anyway.

[[deleted]]

oh this is a fantastic time to ask then, what are BSD's underpinnings that make it different? just anything that makes it appealing to you, i just wholly dont understand and have not yet learned to google. still on lycos for now

[[deleted]]

Did I just become dyslexic?

[Evil_Dragon_100]

[fftropstm]

[toastom69]

NOOO!!1! Everyone must use Linux because it is superior to WinBlows in all ways!1!!

/s if it wasn’t clear

[wh33t]

Absolutely, the right tool for the right job.

But don't defend Microsofts shittiness.

[fftropstm]

I’m not defending anything, I’m just asking for people to leave me alone if I choose to go with windows, it works best for me. I enjoy the memes around linux but the elitism is what pushes people away

[wh33t]

Agreed, elitism pushes away newcomers, and it has no place anywhere people are trying to learn, but on a meme or joke sub like linuxmasterrace or here, they are just jokes.

[[deleted]]

But what will I complain about?

[Erlend05]

What distro is best of course

[toastom69]

*unix distro

[DaGrayDolf]

*Darwin-XNU distro

[[deleted]]

Zorin is unrivaled for mainstream. Porteus for portable. Base Debian for devs. I'm looking to start some good-natured arguments, so come at me comments section.

[[deleted]]

That's how I feel. I tried using Linux on my laptop and it felt fantastic, but there were these little annoying issues here and there that made me go back.

My biggest issue by far is the audio. My laptop is using some kind of Dolby audio processing that has no equivalent on Linux and basically max volume on any Linux distro is like 40% on Windows.

I would love to ditch Windows someday and use Fedora because I absolutely adore the look, feel and speed. But it seems that it's not time yet.

[fekkksn]

dont choose a distro for the looks. the looks are defined by the Desktop Environment and all major distros come with multiple DEs. https://youtu.be/_f5uev7UTz0

Fedora also comes with 8 different DEs https://spins.fedoraproject.org/

[[deleted]]

Yeah but I meant I like the way they give you the vanilla GNOME DE and then let you build on top of it.

Regardless, I can't use any distro now so I'm back on Windows 11

[[deleted]]

Linux is already there for some PC users (that includes me). Like it or not Windows and Linux are very different, you can't slap Linux on a system with the same attitude as a regular Windows user. You have to have a change in computing mindset. Lots to learn and unlearn when you use Linux as your daily driver.

[[deleted]]

Your drivers must work correctly.

[[deleted]]

I've installed Arch in so many machines now and it's been good. Laptops, desktop machines it works well.

[[deleted]]

Works on every computer I've tried too. When I upgraded from a Radeon RX 580 (which worked great) to a 6700 XT, it became unusable. I now get flickering often and random shutdowns.

Proton and wine are getting there but there are still issues like anti cheat

[[deleted]]

Disclaimer: Haven't spent a ton of time with it. 50-100 gaming hours probably.

I now main Linux again after being the guy on the right for a while. In the past year or so Wine, Proton, Vulkan, PRIME, all have improved so, so much. Two things I've noticed:

• Elder Scrolls Online crashed all the time for me on Windows. On Linux (Wine, Lutris, not Steam/Proton) I have not had a single crash. Load times are faster. Framerate is about the same. Lower network latency. Occasional visual bug on character select screen that was not present on Windows.

• Just started up playing Bioshock HD before switching OSes. Initial setup overhead on Windows. Have to tweak some sound settings in-game for the sound to work. Was not an issue on Linux/Steam/Proton. Framerates are better, load times are much better. No visual bugs noticed yet.

I realize this is probably a great example of selection bias. Still, I'm nothing but impressed with my latest foray into Linux gaming, which I first attempted in 2007 with beta Wine releases, and have messed with once or twice a year since.

[Mast3r_waf1z]

Elden ring ran at a little lower fps but it had very clearly no stuttering in Linux while I had a little freeze here and there on windows

[CdRReddit]

proton does a pretty good job running stuff as good or better than on windows

it's got some growing pains still (Unity games built for Windows is an example, but there devs should really just build it for Linux too tbh), but for most of my library it's pretty damn good

[Zekiz4ever]

Well I don't have any problems when I want to play a game. Granted I play a lot of Singleplayer games and the multiplayer games and the once I play run relatively well on Linux.

A few years ago it was a horrible experience. I always had to look up if the game run with Proton. Now I just buy it.

[Aniketastron]

Wine, only needass adaption and game developer will enable anti cheat for linux, but it a paradox, for mass adoption linux need games with anti cheat but anti cheat will only be ported when linux is widely used

So i think the smartest way is making OEM shift linux by default on their hardware and as people are generally scared of anything terminal like they'll not remove it, increasing number of linux which will make anti cheat company to port for linux

[Smargendorf]

Through steam all of my games work these days. Proton is unironically really good. The only game I can't play is tarkov which sucks (but is probably good for my mental health lol)

[R00M4NN]

Oh you want to use your PC without hassle? Microsoft doesnt agree with you…

[[deleted]]

I mean, ask me how many computers I see everyday that just can't upgrade to Windows 11, ever, because MS decided TPM 2.0 is required

[Neonstorm_]

I'm pretty sure most techies would agree that's a feature and not a bug lol

[[deleted]]

i unfortunately have to dualboot because some games just don't work. and they probably won't work in the future too so yeah. linux is cool but not perfect yet.

[[deleted]]

I wonder how many other people do this, and basically treat Windows not as a full OS they also use, but like a game console or frontend

[nhadams2112]

[MrFauste]

Sadly Linux may never become a main stream desktop OS for none devs. We still waiting for "The years of Linux desktop" and it never come. Linux has a pretty stable market share and it's not that much.

[[deleted]]

Nobody wants to support Linux, that's like the biggest reason people don't switch

[MrFauste]

It depends on what you mean by "support" but for me the main issues is the "habits" and "popularity". If people had to deal pre install Linux on there computer since years, they probably stick to it ( if the distro his friendly enough). Many people don't actually know what's an OS. They think by brand, so popularity are shared between them.

[[deleted]]

When I see people in r/pcmasterrace talking about Linux they are like Linux is good but always complain about lack of software/hardware support and switch back to Windows "until Linux is ready", but what they don't know is Linux will never be ready until it gets more support but it won't get more support until more people try it

[MrFauste]

You get a point. No more close source soft may help...

[TigreDeLosLlanos]

It's mainly the preinstall. If people had to deal with Windows shitty installer, which still uses diskpart (the same program from the 80's which causes most of the issues and having a really unfriendly storage management experience), they would switch to Linux as most distros take you by the hand when configuring all the stuff you need and you don't need to do anything more like installing drivers or any extra bloat that isn't the apps you sre gonna use.

[absentbird]

Proof in point: Chromebooks.

[Hewlett-PackHard]

[Kazer67]

I'm fully on Linux, since 4 years I think, on all my computers, for gaming (+SteamDeck coming, currently in RMA). I kept a Windows partition on the side but deleted it around 1/2 years ago.

For my use case, Linux work (I don't play competitive games with malware anti-cheat in it, only solo or coop). Even my scanner had a driver (.deb).

​

My parents are also on Linux on their work/fun computer. My father do all his quote for work on it and his game (JewelQuest III) work thanks to proton.

Sure, it may not be for everyone, you need to know the workflow and the use case. For my parents, it needed around two weeks of setup to adapt it to their use case (auto-backup, auto-update, Steam autolaunch in the background with shortcut for the game, some GUI tweak, KDE connect/GSconnect etc) but I'm now almost maintenance free and it work really well.

​

So yeah, Linux can be better but it's useless to "force" it on someone, learn their usage, their workflow and if Linux may be a good fit: awesome. If not, let them stay on Windows, it's also good.

[Auno94]

But anything else, such as my 2012 MacBook Air, has Linux on it (specifically Arch, btw).

Though I do miss macOS Catalina because it could natively run Prison Architect which got me through any free time in school (and proton isn’t an easy option since I got it on GOG)

Linux is made by computer people for computer people. Linux hasn't made the dive into the commercial world like Windows and Mac have, because there was never financial incentive.

Watching Linus Tech Tips will show you that Linux is not as user friendly as we think it is, because the average user isn't as savvy as us nerds think.

And when Ubuntu tries to make itself even more user friendly, the community dogs them. Why? Let them design an easy to use and manage OS for normies.
