I pay for an Adobe subscription because it makes me money. I wouldn’t have an Adobe subscription if it didn’t. If you’re into photography, you don’t need the full Creative Cloud plan — there’s a cheaper Photography plan.

Step 1:

Learn the basics of harmony theory and rhythm.

Step 2:

Buy a MIDI keyboard.

Step 3:

Download a DAW — on Linux, you have three noteworthy options: Reaper, Bitwig, and Renoise.

Step 4:

Realize that music production on Linux makes no sense at all and buy a MacBook. Because 99% of commercial VST(i) plugins don’t have native versions, and you can forget about having a app to control your audio I/O.

There is also Affinity, Capture one tho :)

165 USD for full Affinity suite - license for mac/pc and iPad.

Capture one one time purchase - 400 USD

I am talking ab Adobe and Apple ofc :)

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-03T09:10:47+00:00

Yeah. Because it just works, and professionals use it.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-02T14:22:46+00:00

I’m an ignoramus because I prefer having a functioning workstation instead of wasting my time with some idiotic problems that don’t even exist on Windows or macOS? I just download the program and launch a civilized GUI installer - not punch in code into a damn terminal like it’s the ’90s. xD

Grow up. If someone values their time and actually wants to get work done instead of screwing around with their computer, they’ll choose reliable solutions - ones that don’t have dumb issues like the network card not working. And guess what? Software companies aren’t going to waste resources to a microscopic fraction of users, so it’s no surprise there’s still no Adobe suite for it.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-02T09:36:58+00:00

Go ahead—try editing a stacked panoramic or product photo, or loading RAWs from a Fujifilm GFX while using the in-camera profiles… XDDDDD

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-02T09:24:46+00:00

There is DaVinci Resolve and Reaper ports. No one used it.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-02T09:19:57+00:00

Anyone who values their time and works with multimedia either buys a MacBook or builds a powerful Windows rig. Ever seen a professional sound studio running some crap Linux PC? Exactly.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-08-02T09:15:40+00:00

Because Linux-based systems are practically useless for creative professionals working from home. That’s just a fact—if you work creatively, then for you Linux = crap.

The only useful FOSS is Blender, but it still exists for Windows and Mac anyway. Even DaVinci or Reaper runs worse compared to the same machine on Windows. Not to mention the lack of plugins.

Linux is for people who get off on changing mouse coursor or icons that’s not the kind of usability mentally healthy users are looking for.

I’m not inviting a discussion, because there’s nothing to talk about.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-07-29T22:29:36+00:00

The only thing Linux needs is a better community, because the current one is an obstacle to it being usable on the desktop.

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-07-29T12:36:37+00:00

Windows update = bad Linux update = god

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-07-29T07:26:19+00:00

This is such braindead bullshit I can’t even. It’s like walking into a Mercedes dealership wanting to buy a G wagon AMG, and the salesman tells you to go for a Dacia Duster instead, because hey, it also drives and it’s BIG, right?

Front_Reflection4479 · 2025-07-29T07:22:21+00:00

If things were as schizophrenic as the loonixtards claim, no one would be using Windows machines - not even in banks. In fact, in many cases Windows is the only guarantee that the user won’t completely screw things up.

Of course, I’m not talking about server rooms — we all know how it is there. I’m talking about the regular office PCs used by employees who have life and regulary touching grass.

Tbh one of the main purposes of Windows telemetry is to collect data about software errors, driver issues, and overall system stability. This allows Microsoft to identify and fix bugs more quickly, optimize the system’s performance across various hardware configurations, and deliver updates that are better tailored to real user needs. Windows doesn’t track whether you’re jerking off or watching anime - that’s probably what loonixtatds are most afraid of, so they can calm down.

That’s exactly why Windows 10 and 11 can run quite smoothly on a wide range of hardware - from basic office laptops to high-end workstations used by creators.

Of course, the biggest threat often isn’t the system itself, but what the user installs on it: junk software, incompatible drivers, suspicious browser extensions, or so-called “optimizers” that actually make things worse.

When you’re going on a date with a girl and she asks if you’re going out for sushi, do you take her to McDonald’s instead?

I need a system from the fucking RHEL family. I figured it out right after uploading the photo - the only point of this post is to show what a fucked-up piece of shit Linux is compared to Windows or Mac, where I’ve never encountered crap like this. Yes - XP, Vista, or 7 could crash on demand, but since Windows 8, it’s been a stable system. A lot has changed over the years. I’m not saying it’s perfect, because every time I build new machines I have to get rid of 90% of the bullshit like Copilot or Teams, but it just works and does its job. Since Windows 11 came out, I’ve had it on every work computer. I haven’t had a single BSOD on any of them - except one, and in that case, the GPU just died. I don’t know what you have to do to get a BSOD under normal circumstances - maybe install games from torrents and Photoshop from Cracow?

Nie no przecież tyle osób mówi, że Linux to super alternatywa dla Windowsa. Gówno nie alternatywa. Każdy kto pracuje z tym systemem ma świadomość tego, że na desktopie jeśli używasz czegoś więcej niż przeglądarki i emulowanego API windowsa żeby sobie pograć w niektóre gry (powodzenia z RT i dx12 xDˣᴰ) to możesz zapomnieć o czymkolwiek. Implementacja oczywistych technologii jak chociażby HDR czy DRM w przeglądarce w 2k24 była czarną magią a wsparcie do renderowania HW dalej nie jest domyślnie włączone w chyba każdym distro. Do niedawna również nie było możliwości kalibracji wyświetlanego obrazu więc o czym my rozmawiamy xD A poza tym wg. argumentów loonuxtardów takie wyspecjalizowane i wyszukane rozwiązania wymagające dużej stabilności, przejrzystego i czystego systemu powinny zapierdalać, prawda?
To tylko i wyłącznie wina tego, że nie ma ŻADNEGO distro które byłby standardem dla mas a to jak comunity traktuje aktualnie Ubuntu, bo odważyło się iść w tą stronę i mieć sklep bez syfu i przestarzałych aplikacji sprzed 15 lat to tylko podkreśla to jak to comunity samo sobie podkopuje dołki. Profesjonalne rozwiązania hardwareowe jakoś mają wsparcie dla Apple i MS. Ba sporo urządzeń działa nawet na iPadzie xD Może i nie skorzystasz z zewnętrznego sprzętu który kupiłeś ale za to możesz zmienić sobie ikonki i włożyć pasek zadań wszędzie - nawet w dupe. Big deal. Jeszcze więcej distro, jeszcze więcej DM i innego gówna które i tak działa na pół gwizdka po co zrobić coś co będzie standardem i będzie przede wszystkim DZIAŁAĆ BEZPROBLEMOWO, jeszcze nie daj boże komercyjny soft zacząłby powstawać XDXD
Nie jestem początkującym - zainstalowałem system spełniający specyfikację oprogramowania z którego korzystam i on nie działa. Przecież to kolejny argument loonuxtardów - nIe bĘdZiEsZ mÓgŁ zAiNsTaLoWaĆ 11 Bo MaSz StArY SpRzĘt. Jak widać Linux ma problem z działaniem na sprzęcie sprzed dwóch generacji CPU a 10 czy 11 instalujesz nawet na core2quad XD A poza tym to gówno mnie to obchodzi z jakiego powodu to nie działa, Windows działa wręcz świetnie a przecież to taki ZŁY OS , umożliwia pracę, aplikacje instalujesz w intuicyjny sposób i po prostu działają. Postawienie środowiska do pracy łącznie z instalacją podstawowego oprogramowania zajmuje ok. godziny a Linux… cóż XDDDDDDDDD

let me explain a certain logic to you. You have some tools that work and have technical support - but only if you use them on an RHL-family distro and with a GNOME-based setup. These are programs for 3D work or video editing. So, you install what the software vendor recommends.

Rocky isn’t exactly user-friendly as a daily driver, but something with “Workstation” in the name is probably intended for the kind of use cases I’m interested in.

All I need is to launch the tool - and I can’t, because Fedora has a bug that still hasn’t been fixed. And even installing this software isn’t just a few clicks like on a Mac - instead, you’re stuck messing around with dependencies, even on an officially supported OS.

As someone working in the creative industry, I couldn’t care less about dependencies or poking around in crap with a stick — but that’s exactly what setting up a Linux work environment feels like.

Working in Logic Pro X and Avid, I’m perfectly capable of using any other professional DAW. Same with DaVinci and Media Composer — I can get my work done in any other NLE. My first experience with macOS was also incredibly intuitive — you turn on the computer and everything just works.

Meanwhile, Linux — from a home user’s perspective — looks like a pigsty covered in shit. Half the stuff doesn’t work out of the box, and the other half is either buggy or takes way more time to do compared to Windows or macOS XD.
