There's one thing keeping me from switching to Linux on my PC, it is the lack of support from FL Studio and a lot of VST plugins for music creation. (My experience using Wine has not been very good.)

  • I know how to use Wine, I wouldn’t be here talking if it was a perfect experience!

  • I do think programming is creative, I just didn’t talk precisely about it because it wasn’t the focus of the conversation :).

    Linux is very bad for music creation, the ecosystem is lacking the incredible tools like Ableton or FL studio, and the VSTs. You can’t shit done on Linux in this area right now, well I’ve made some music but what a pain it was.

    I won’t stop using proprietary software just for the sake of using Linux. I need and I like FL Studio, it’s a very good DAW. Stop trying to convert everyone to your open-source utopia, it can’t exist! I love open-source, I’m an open-source contributor on a few projects and most of my projects (the good ones) are open-source too! But, try to make music with open-source tools and we can talk about it.

    Some of them are good but not as good as an Omnisphere, a Serum, or a Purity, or a Ozone RX 9 for mixing.

    And no, I won’t involve myself into an open-source DAW because I’ve literally got other shit to do right now than filling issues or PRs that no one will read on GitHub.

    The way you talk about things is not helpful, it is just the same copy-pasted shit every time. Open-source… bugs… developers… community… proprietary software bad…

    Stop acting like a malfunctioning cyborg.

  • Thanks! I understand they’re alternative but FL Studio is incredibly, outstandingly simple and fast for its giant capabilities…. and it’s been updated, improved for longer than I live know!

    (I’m 16yo)

    And FL Studio 20 works fine… some freezes. But my toolkit of instruments, of plugins to mix, put effects, etc… it’s so niche to use Linux for music that they either crash FL, and corrupt my work… but yeah…

  • In the case of proprietary software yes, but using a CDN for delivering JavaScript is sometimes so useful for open-source.

    I see what you’re saying with Sentry, Google Analytics, etc… And it’s laughably hard to escape the influence of big tech in programming today, you are right!

    At least when you want to build an app as we know them know… I’m currently working with some other folks on making the web more decentralized through a database that shares his data across peers.

    Those peers are the user of the app. Let me tell you, the seeds are planted… just need to grow the tree!

  • Well… 1. FL Studio is proprietary but they’re super respectful of the community.

    1. They have been improving FL for longer than I lived know. (I’m 16yo)
    2. But! It still doesn’t work on linux lol — it’s cool with Wine, some freeze here and there, but when you use VSTs which are kinda essential to make music, it just sometimes crashes.
    3. It had the good aspect of pushing me to sample more, so I discovered a new way to make music ;) !
    4. Linux is perfectly usable for going on Internet, browsing shit, incredible for programming, and very good for playing games. Okay… but, I need to create, not just consume!

    I’m on Arch Linux, I got no problems, it’s very fun since I switched two years ago when I got my laptop but for something, Linux is so bad. I wish I could fix that? But I can’t do it alone :)

  • What’s also frustrating is the fact that MacBook could be the ideal options for me but they’re not repairable easily, they are also super pricy if you want the bare minimum in 2023 (16go of RAM and a decent sized SSD)…

    There’s everything, customisation with Yabai, FL Studio + VST support, Logic Pro X, fast compile time for when I program, linux convenience, nerd fonts, dark theme, etc…

    And don’t get me started on the battery and the screen quality.

  • What you’re referring to is in fact Google Analytics which allows a lot of app to collect intrusive insights on their customers.

    If you want to create an app today, you will use JS, Lemmy uses it, everyone uses it. It’s not dominated by Google, it’s just the standard for building web app today!

  • I’m at my grandma’s right now (in vacation). It’s been fun since 3 weeks. But I got so many projects to finish with friends, there’s this very mysterious military abandoned building we need to explore, etc… and I really want to see them before we get back to class.

    Next year will be a hell, I won’t probably even be with them but I have to cope last year of high school.

    I’m kinda depressed of being stuck here, I just wish I could explore the city for abandoned places… or anything to do.

    I started doing philosophy, thinking when I’m not programming to get out of my depressed mind.

    Send help lol

    • Do you currently use Linux, or would you consider giving Linux a shot?

    Jump

  • To try out Linux you should install Linux Mint, or Ubuntu. If you search on Google there are a lot of guides made to help you choose between the two.

    There are a lot more distributions than those two but they’re not tailored for beginners because they offer too much freedom, and you don’t have the experience to account for the mistakes you could make.
