Didn’t know you could buy used licenses, I’ll definitely have to look into them. Thanks again.

Ooo thanks for the zrhythm reco. They might be suitable for me because i liked my time with the bitwig trial, but I’m below even a hobby music maker and only like to mess around every now and then so paying the price they ask for is probably not financially responsible for me at the moment.

I’ve always struggled installing it on wine. But I’ve never been good at wine and other windows translation stuff outside of letting things like steam and heroic install and manage those things for me.

Bigwig Studio is made by some of the original Devs of Ableton i believe and from what I’ve messed around with it in a trial. It’s way better (stylish too). If I was less of an occasional dabbler in music production I’d absolutely pay for this. Linux is not a second class citizen to them which is great, any VSTs they release themselves always work on Linux natively too.

Theres also reaper, but I feel like the barrier to entry on that one can feel a bit daunting. It never feels just ready to go for a newcomer.

Theres also a bunch of different trackers that are Linux compatible some with VST support too, but that’s a very different way of making music from the traditional DAW.

Hmm it seems the speculative market loves speculation rather than actual results…

Often preinstalled on prebuilts and laptops though, along with the OEMs bloat

Nvidia’s always had quirky issues especially 10 series and before on Linux

In all of the bazzite documentation they always warn against it anyway. As long as you use the OS as intended it’s super smooth and simple, you just have steam and flatpaks readily available.

If you want a good gaming distro but more control like using a proper native package manager instead of flatpaks, I’d recommend cachyos. If you don’t want to delve into distrobox on bazzite to get use of a package manager anyway.

You could always have a Debian distrobox if you want to use its systems within bazzite.

I installed some stuff with epm-ostree early on in my experience in bazzite and at some point i could no longer update. I had to do a rebase to sort it. Thankfully, that’s easy and pretty quick though.

Difference in GPU?

Even though bazzite is fedora-based you’re not really meant to interact with the fedora side of it all. At least that’s the impression I’ve gotten from it.

And sometimes with better performance than windows because of less of a system overhead.

You shouldn’t ever use rpm-ostree to install stuff with, as it can cause issues with future system updates.

First port of call should be flatpaks in the bazaar.

Second, look for flatpaks or appimages online.

Third, use distrobox to install something via a different distro and export it as a shortcut to bazzite. I use arch in a distrobox, btw.

Is there ever a reason to manually install now that archinstall is a thing?

It causes autism

I think some recent EU proposals that make Google responsible for ensuring users can’t install malicious apps is what has caused this to happen though. I could be wrong but I think I remember hearing about that.

I’m not getting manipulated. I’m just playing devil’s advocate

That’s fair. I was just playing devil’s advocate. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if he turns out he’s a true diddler

I’m not a fan of musk but if his statement is true he could’ve just not realised the flavour of creep he was and just didn’t want anything to do with his island harem, but at the time also not knowing they were kids so didn’t feel alarmed enough to speak up?

Qobuz is what i have my eyes on.

Only reason I haven’t switched over yet is me and my friends share a lot of music together so I’ve been working on a personal discord bot to share the different links, and I’ve yet to get it working 100% yet (it failed when testing with a rick Astley album of all things)
