  • Considering switching over to Linux. My main concerns are with Music Production (Native Instruments, Bitwig, Arturia etc.)

    Jump

  • After some Research and reading through the answeres here i think you are right. I do appreciate all the suggestions, but ditching my vsts and especially my Hardware really isnt an Option for me. I have spent too much money on them and i love working with them, and for a lot of them, there really just is now alternative that cones close to the quality. I dont want to talk down on all the amazing work the foss community has created, but i hope people understand that i dont wabt abandon my (expensive) collection. And in the end, my goal is to make nusic and not tinker around with an operating system. Maybe i will try a dual Boot solution. It really is frustrating though, i would really like to switch to Linux and i dont mind to put some effort in. But it seems that as long as the companies behind all the software dont Support linux, i will have to Stick with Windows.

  • I have fedora on my laptop and pretty happy with it. I know Vital and it is a great synth. But my vst library Contains a lot of stuff with live sampled Instruments like strings, horns , guitars, Bass and so on and while there are foss alternatives that are decent, they are nowhere near the Quality of a lot of paid stuff (there are exceptions of course). I really dont feel comfortable with ditching the quality i am used to and basically Throw away all the money i have spent on them.

  • I dont know about push but machine plus Uses a Linux Variant. But i guess they just use the same for push, because why wouldnt they. And yes this is extra frustrating because aparently they can make their stuff run on linux

  • Thanks a lot for the Hint about the vm solution, i will defenitely Look further into it. The only problem with actually running Linux on my Hardware i can think of would be secure Boot. But this can be turned off (i needed it for Windows 11 and some docker stuff i played around with). Years ago i had a dual Boot solution with win 7 and Ubuntu. But in the end i was more on Windows (gaming on Linux was way worse bock then) and eventually kicked Ubuntu off my harddrive.

    It isnt even that i have actual Problems with win11, in fact i have to say it runs well and very stable, at least on my System. Its more like an "ideological" Thing. I just want to have As little big corpo stuff as possible.

  • Hey thanks for the Suggestion. Ill definetly will look further into Ubuntu studio. As i understand it includes all the important audio settings and drivers.

    For my DAW i use Bitwig which runs natively on Linux, so that would be no Problem. The issue is more with my Hardware, Maschine mk3, and the Software it needs to Operate properly. Also yes i know there is a lot of free vsts, i used them when i started making music years ago. But since then i spent a lot of money on proprietary vsts that in a lot of cases (not all obviously) are just better. Especially when it comes to live sampled Romplers like Kontakt. Ditching my collection of Software i bought is therefore really not an Option. I dont want to talk down foss vsts and DAWs, there is a lot of really great stuff. But i hope you can understand that i dont want to Throw hundreds of Euro worth of Software to the trash.

  • Yes i also tend to prefer foss if available and suitable. The problem is that sometimes there is no adequate alternative. In my case its music production. Sure there are foss alternatives on Linux, but to be honest in a lot of cases they dont even come close to professional proprietary Software. On top of that i spent hundreds of Euro on music hard and Software, that either just runs on Linux with huge amounts of tweakings and drawbacks or just doesnt run at all. And i am not Willing to give up my soft and Hardware Stack that i built up over the last years. I also thought about running all this stuff over Windows in a VM, but then im basically in Windows again and i think this defeats the purpose of Switching to Linux.

  • Well up until they try to run Software that isnt supported on Linux. Dont get me wrong, i like Linux (have it on my laptop that i only use occasionally) and i really want to switch completely. But i have some Software that i need and it just doesnt run on Linux or needs huge amounts of workarounds or tweakings that can break any time. So Every time i want to switch i end up on Windows again. And i know, this isnt entirely Linux Fault but the companies who are unwilling to make their Software compatible.

  • What operating system do you use on your main computer?

    Jump

  • I use Windows 11 and honestly am pretty happy with it. My laptop runs on fedora. I would Consider Switching to Linux on my Desktop but i do music production and some of my soft and Hardware (NI maschine mk3 and some VSTs) dont run on Linux. As long as that is the case, Switching doesnt make sense for me.

    Edit: if anyone has suggestions how to get maschine, vsts from NI komplete and VSTs in General to run on Linux, i would be super happy. As a second DAW i usw bitwig which supports linux but as all my other stuff is windows Based im pretty much tied to Microsoft

  • I agree. And i think it actually far from being "intelligent ". However it is a very helpful tool for many Tasks.

  • I still use it daily. I made a decent Set of prompts and it pretty much does all of my daily annoying writing Tasks at work. This saves me a lot of time and i can Focus on more exciting projects. 10% isnt even that much after everyone tried it out and Played around with it. I think as a tool it just isnt useful for everyone, but for my Job it defenitely is.

  • Mal ne andere Sache bzgl. Der API: das ist echt scheiße für Wissenschaftler. Ich hab für meine Linguistische Masterarbeit über die API ein Korpus erstellt, sowas geht jetzt leider nicht mehr. Für die Forschung in der internetbasierten Kommunikation ist das echt mist, weil so der Zugang zu interessanten Daten erheblich erschwert wird.
