I’m glad you had a better experience than I did. The past two nights, I was messing around with a live version of mint and had nothing but problems. The programs I installed from the software manager didn’t work and I couldn’t even get wine to work. I followed the instructions on mints site and wine kept having installation errors. I’m going back to ubuntu as I didn’t have these problems with that distro. Glad you’re up and running though!
I wouldn’t mind paying for a program. But I’m wary of paying for programs because companies these days change their policies and make their services subscription based, and when that happens they gradually increase the price. But I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Does that program come with drum samples? Or would I have to get that separately?
I would prefer to stick with reaper since I’m familiar with it and going off other comments, it seems that I can still use windows vsts in linux so I think that is the route I’m going to go
Oh I see what you’re saying. I’m still getting used to linux. I have a steam deck and have been using the desktop mode quite a bit, so I’m familiar with the app store in there. But I’m still not used to it thinking about going there to install what I need. Thanks for the tip
Thanks for the info. I checked out ardour and it seems like a good product. Looks like I’ll have to branch out more and see what my options for vsts are.
I have been using the “try ubuntu” option from my Bootable USB, I downloaded ardour but was disappointed that their demo was only 10 min… while I was setting up my e kit to make sure it worked, it kept bugging me every 10 min to pay for the software. That was pretty off-putting. I think I will keep using reaper.
Not yet unfortunately, I’m still new to linux so it’s still taking me longer to figure things out. I got reaper up and running really easy, but wine took a while to figure out. But I eventually got that working and was able to install Steven slate audio center and I git my drum kit to register in reaper. But I wasn’t able to get Steven slate working, I think I’ll have to use yabridge, which several other comments brought up. But I’m making progress!
Oh wow, I didn’t realize steam os was that different compared to other distros. Last night I was trying to install wine on ubuntu, and it wasn’t listed in the app store. I thought this was weird, cuz it’s in the discover store. So I had to manually install it. Not sure if it’s because I’m still using the “try ubuntu” instead of the full installation. But that helps knowing that all flatpaks work with every distro.
I checked out ardour and I was able to get it to register my drum kit, but they kept pestering me to pay for the program every 10 min which was frustrating. Bitwig is a little more than I need at the moment. I’m not creating music, I just need drum triggers and basic drum recording. I was able to get reaper to work and pick up my kit, but I still need to try yabridge to get vsts to trigger.
Bitwig is pretty sweet, but definitely more than I need right now. I was able to get my kit to register in reaper so I’ll probably stick with that for now.
I was using ubuntu and I got the program from their main site. I saw they offered monthly subscriptions but I just chose the demo. On their site, it says the demo goes silent after 10 min… I searched the app store in ubuntu and didn’t see it so that’s why I went to the website. That’s cool you can build it from source though. I think I’ll just stick with reaper now however.
I tried linux mint and fairly quickly I had more issues than with Ubuntu. I tried to install reaper through the app store and it wouldn’t launch. I had to get it from the website. I also tried to get wine through the app store and that didn’t work either. I couldn’t even get it to install properly through the terminal. I’m not too sure about switching now.
I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.
I’m taking my first international flight this year. I’ve got my passport and bought the plane tickets. However, I noticed that my middle name on the ticket is missing the last 2 letters. I contacted the airline and they said that middle name doesn’t have to match passport. I just want to make sure that is correct, I...
Oh wow. Thanks for the peace of mind. I’m never traveled internationally, and I always assumed there was zero tolerance and everything has to be exact.
Mint is up and running!
Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome....
Good DAWS and VSTs for linux

Why so many men like to play with a female character?

Does middle name on plane ticket gave to match passport?
