Just looking to pirate a good DAW to stick my toes in the water of music production. I have Reaper, but I want something with more sequencing features. I’d love FL studio, but am not picky. Sorry if I’ve committed a faux pas, this is my first time posting here. Thanks!
I’m going to just drop here “The List” because I am not a musician myself, tho I use free software for audio mixing / production IRL and there’s excellent stuff in there.
It is targeted at Linux, but most of the big ones do exist for Mac or Windows machines. Not that a Linux DAW is any complicated affair nowadays, wink, wink.
I use Ardour on #AsahiLinux mostly. Yes, on a macbook lol.
FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!
Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new #Mac will eventually lose #Apple support. Thanks to the impressive work of #Asahi#Linux project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.
On top of the great work that @AsahiLinux and the Fedora Asahi SIG do, they've also worked to line up releases with the rest of Fedora, so thank you for that!
This release brings:
OpenGL 4.6
High quality audio out of the box
Plasma, Gnome, Server, and Minimal variants available
In February, I decided to try #UbuntuAsahi on my M1 MacBook Pro. Around the same time, I ended up redoing my office, which meant this laptop unintentionally became my daily driver for over a month. Here's my experience.
What is your personal preference based on experience? I Assume because Mac is Unix and Linux is Unix based, it would be more suited, but I have no personal experience with the layout. I am willing to try something new if i hear enough merits for it, and I also find the windows layout somewhat inadequate(The grass is greener on...
@Semi@kbin.social @Artemis_Mystique Well, maybe the problems the students are facing are due to all of the software that the school uses being incompatible with apple. (Knowing how apple loves to be incompatible themselves, I guess that's quite logical).
And I am sure an experienced user can find workarounds to get the computer to work properly. (#asahilinux being the first thing that comes to my mind, though I never tried #asahi personally because I don't want to contribute to apple's e-waste)
🍏 Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s
— Ars Technica
"The Asahi driver's support for the OpenGL and OpenGL ES graphics have officially passed what Apple offers in macOS. The team's latest graphics driver fully conforms with OpenGL version 4.6 and OpenGL ES version 3.2, the most recent version of either API. Apple's support in macOS tops out at OpenGL 4.1, announced in July 2010."
At least with #AsahiLinux we can make the M1 or M2 Macbook somewhat enjoyably useful aside from just being the compiling & account / upload slave that catches dust in a corner until it gets artificially obsolete. #Apple
Alright, grab a coffee or favorite drink. @AsahiLinux has released a deep dive into their recent slew of changes related to HDMI, OpenGL, WiFi, the touchbar, speakers, and more!
I know I talk about it a lot, but I still can't believe that Linux is running on this M1 Macbook. It's insane how many applications just run out of the box. :blobfoxfloofhappy: I know it a little bit defeats the purpose of having a Macbook by putting Linux on it, but Linux on Mac hardware has always been so heckin' good.
Had to jump through way too many hoops to get Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 running in a VM on my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro because Canonical/Ubuntu won't release an official Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 ISO image for arm64 like they do with amd64 or keep around daily builds for non-LTS releases.
The process I had to go through:
Download and install the latest daily build ISO of Desktop 22.04.3 for arm64
Run do-release-upgrade to 23.04
Once running 23.04, disable IPv6 and uninstall half of ubuntu-desktop and its dependencies for do-release-upgrade to not hang on locating upgrades and to not complain about held broke packages
Now, I have it downloading and installing kde-full so that I can get and use KDE Plasma (because, deity forbid that there is an arm64 ISO available for Kubuntu).
Also, the current daily build for 24.04 LTS arm64 is janky at best, broken at worse.
This mess almost makes me want to jump to Fedora since there is a KDE spin for arm64 for the latest release. It means that I'll have to deal with multiple distros and package managers across my development systems. Just too bad that none of the Fedora 39 ISOs will boot on my Surface Pro 3 😡
@qlp I’ll be giving #asahilinux a serious go on my MBA once speaker support is there. Already booted it up a few times and linux on a M1 chip is another level of wwhoooosh
Now that I have installed #AsahiLinux on my #MacBookAirM2 , what guide should I read on to explore #Linux? (Of course I know the command line and stuff, just not the Linux specifics...)
现在在MacBook Air M2上装了旭Linux，有人能给我推荐一下Linux系统入门教程吗？（当然命令行之类的咱都知道，主要是具体一点的……）

Is it worth buying the Mac keyboard for a dedicated Linux PC instead of the windows one?
