If you’re struggling with your windows plugins I highly recommend checking out kxstudio for native Linux ones. There are excellent plugins for audio production on linux. I also recommend using Ardour as your DAW.

Thanks :) I’m happy to chat to any musicians who read this and are curious about alternative release options.

These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom.

That’s exactly what they are and exactly what they do.

I don’t have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments and just wanted to say that I’m 100% with you.

I have a similar conversation with other musicians I know and it’s the reason that I (and many others) won’t release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

I hope you find something and keep standing up for what’s right!

Jami ftw 💪

Check out Kiwix for offline libraries like Wikipedia and TED

Your timing is excellent: Debian 13 is due for release on Saturday :)

Good one, especially for hikers and sailors 👍

What is your apptracker?

I’m not a programmer (don’t know about code) but appreciate this ethos from a user’s perspective, so:

• LosslessCut (trims, combines and separates videos without reencoding)
• Xpano (stitches photographs/makes panoramas, easy, just works)
• Colorway (on-screen eye-dropper for colour; gives hex code and combinations)
• Wordbook (offline dictionary)
• Breathing (it’s just breathing)
• Blanket (nice background sounds)

Absolute classic game 🤌

Man, I sunk some serious hours into Endless Sky when I switched to Linux. Battles got seriously intense…

I want one

Yeah, I do have a lot of discs.

I recently found some CDs and DVDs that I backed files up on 17 years ago. Everything copied across no problem - they were as good as the day I burned them.

I’d say use them for data!

I’d like something like Stardew Valley ❤️
