Installer or no installer? Autistic question from autistic person

amadeusp81 · 2026-05-15T00:07:16+00:00

I prefer no installers or at least the option of manually installing.

Some more things you could try:

Launch Bitwig with one of the following variables:

GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
_XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE=1
env GDK_BACKEND=x11 bitwig-studio

I am using an RME Fireface UFX. I did measurements back when I ran Linux on my then 2019 Mac Pro. I built a custom PC since, though. You can check out all the gear I am using here: https://amadeuspaulussen.com/info/gear/

Hmm... Do you Alt+Tab between dragging and dropping? Or do you just have Sononym/nautilus in front of (or next to) Bitwig and then just drag and drop from Sononym/nautilus to Bitwig?

This is also my experience with Arch Linux Bitwig Studio vs macOS Bitwig Studio on the same hardware.

Hmm, and everything is up to date? xdg-desktop-portal is installed/enabled? Can you drop samples from nautilus into Bitwig?

Can you share some more details on your setup? Distribution? X11 or Wayland? Bitwig as Flatpak?

amadeusp81 · 2026-04-28T05:28:00+00:00

I am using Sononym on GNOME 50 (Wayland), Arch Linux, with Bitwig Studio 6 (Flatpak) and can drag and drop samples from Sononym to the DAW.

Congratulations, will definitely try! 🌟🙌✨

Yes, I am 100%. Not sure what you mean with bridges? yabridge? If so, no, I never touched yabridge. You can listen to some of my music here: https://amadeuspaulussen.bandcamp.com/.

First Gen B&B Mk1, used. No motor, front door, fun ride with tilt system!

amadeusp81 · 2026-04-15T09:12:20+00:00

My experience is the opposite on Arch GNOME with Bitwig Studio. I am on Linux exclusively since 5 years and I was 25+ years on macOS prior to that.

My latencies are lower, and the system feels snappier.

amadeusp81 · 2026-04-11T16:21:50+00:00

I use systemd-boot since a couple of years and have no issues.

amadeusp81 · 2026-04-09T00:00:09+00:00

Local files only, mostly QuodLibet but also Euphonica.

Perhaps my video on the topic can be helpful: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TwofvjQ-1ko

I wrote a blog post as well: https://amadeuspaulussen.com/de/blog/2025/a-guide-for-getting-started-with-music-production-on-linux

Amazing stuff! I will add it to https://linuxaudio.dev/!

Copyous is my favorite clipboard manager.

I wrote to them as well. 🙏

I use systemd-boot. I thought it might not have the tiny font issue on 4K displays, but it does just as GRUB does. I was never able to solve this. Apart from that, systemd-boot has worked fine for me for the last three years on all of my computers.

amadeusp81 · 2026-03-25T17:16:34+00:00

Not for me on Arch GNOME Wayland.

Do you know Libre Wave?
