Aaand you can install exe-s very easily using heroic. I’ve install legacy games (win98/dos) and ive also installed modern apps like Ableton live 11 using heroic. Once Ive nailed the method it’s super simple. Since there’s only a few options to F around with it was fairly easy to experiment till it works
I’ve done it after some struggles. But if I remember right the key was installing dosbox (staging) and pointing at the exe on heroic rather than leave it to the app to decide. I think. It’s my son’s birthday today so give me a shout and I’ll go through my settings later tonight if needed. But yh I remember the frustration. Also I just remembered there’s a tickbox on the advanced panel about some 3 letter word. Ticking that was also essential matter of fact that might be the only important thing. Sorry for being vague. I’ll get some facts later today
dua i
Is the command i use for interactive session
I use it on my 4TB drive it takes roughly it analyses in a few seconds. It’s biggest directories first.
Id just setup a Tailscale exit node on the old address. That can ran even on an apple tv device even when it’s off. And a tailscale subnet router on the new address. The docs on it pretty informative so should be a hassle. Ive done something similar in the past let me know if you need further help.
Ableton - Digital Audio Workspace
MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface
Scarlette 2i2 - Audio interface
Compatibility,dependencies are the most important things when it comes to digital studio machines. At least that’s what my 15yrs of audio engineering experience taught me. Not sure how I didn’t addressed any of that my dude but if you wanna hate I’m here for it. You hate my choices for the sake of it I love yours for the same reason
What was the question then? Wasn’t it about the distro of my choice and how it handles packages specifically about media creation? I fell like you folks just saw nix decided “nah f this guy” but ok I get it.
Ps.: Im self aware if you read the last few lines
I went for Nixos (distro) with Plasma (desktop environment). Nixos has a great package manager (99% of the things there just work)and the way you install things is essentially having a list of your packages/apps. Deleting them is just as easy and the best part is that it’s totally gone, no lingering random files that could bite me in the future. If you mess up your configuration bad it’ll force you to stay the working version if you don’t like what you did you’ll revert it.
Plasma has incredible defaults and you can click around in it to fine tune to your liking. Plug things into plasma is just works at least for me. I’ve plugged midi controllers, audio interface, dock, hdmi, game controllers first try no fuss.
Oh I’m sure other distros have this as well but fun fact if your bt is on and the laptop is connected to a speaker you can just connect your phone (or any other bt source) and use your laptop as a bt speaker. And I mean it just works again. Yeah sure you need to pair it first. But boy oh boy Im playing on the tv and i can just bt to it and play my tunes like it’s nothing.
Back to the question in hand.
I have a windows version of Ableton 11 that I installed there with 3rd party vst 2 and 3 plugins figuring that one out took me longer but it was in front of me all the time so in hindsight that wasn’t too hard either.
So that was my new generation Arch btw xD aka NixOS btw.
The tl dr is that I find Nixos with KDE Plasma 6 having very friendly defaults that can be built on if and when you ready
I had an old Meriva I called her Marge. She was tall and blue. But my 2008 Lexus SUV … I can’t name it. Nothing sticks man. Occasionally I call it Lexy
Show me a ban that didn’t came with 10x problems. People have their needs even the filthy ones. Especially the filthy ones. Hence will find a way to fulfill it. If there’s no legal way to do so the demand will create an alternative market for it to match the demand…more trouble on the way if that’s the lane the UK choose
Lol. I keep telling my partner that I’m sharing my location data with her so don’t need to worry where I might be (Im pretty bad at reporting home unfortunately)
That’s fair enough. Wouldn’t surprise me to be honest the Sec team has this shoot first mentality and often go to far. They are pretty apple oriented so that sounds about right.
