  • Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

  • The vast majority of people don't know what sRGB or DCI-P3 or color profiles are, or care about it. I understand that you may be frustrated about bad support, but it is just not that big of a deal for most people. That said, color management and HDR support for wayland is being actively worked on, and I wouldn't be suprised if it works better on wayland than X11 in a year or two. Also the distro suggested here (linux mint cinnamon) uses X11, not wayland. I agree with OP that we shouldn't scare people away from linux. Forcing people to have an opinion on X11 vs Wayland or color profiles, definately could scare them away.

  • What are some must have Linux compatible VSTs?

  • Surge XT is a must. Best FOSS synth there is IMO. 3 oscillators in 2 scenes. Filters, effects, all the LFOs and envelopes in the world, all the modulation, expression aftertouch, etc you need. A bunch of presets out of the box. Very flexible synth, though can be a bit learning curve to get going.

    Honorable mentions to Dexed (basically a software DX7), GeonKick (for synthesizing drums), and pianoteq (proprietary, but best there is in piano synth with native linux support).

  • Fun coincidence, 16 lanes was one of my concerns as well when I got mine. I'm also on an old AM4 motherboard. Currently have a 3900X CPU which is plenty for my needs for now, but it's good knowing I still have an upgrade path to an X3D. AM4 has been an awesome platform in terms of upgradability :)

  • Got a 6700XT second hand about a year ago when the price finally came down from astronomical ridiculous crypto bubble crazy, to almost reasonable. Just looked and they're still going for the same price. Thought this would have dropped a bit by now, but I guess not.

  • I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping

  • You can always distro hop inside a virtual machine if you have the time and nothing to do.

  • Good luck figuring out why it sometimes doesn't work 🙃

  • Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

    Jump

  • About in 2008-2009. I was about 15 years old. One of my teachers installed ubuntu on school computers. Remember playing around with wobbly windows and desktop cube and having a blast.

    I didn't use much linux at home though until college about 2013 when I put it on my laptops. Took until like 2018 to fully switch. I ditched the last windows VM with GPU passthrough when its boot drive died.

  • What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

    Jump

  • Usually you can fix that with

     
            pacman -S archlinux-keyring
