Honestly, you've kinda already found one of the best, here on Lemmy! Other than that, depending on which distro you choose, the Arch community can be a little terse, but definitely the most knowledgeable and more than willing to help if you do your research first. The Mint community is pretty nice, and patient since the distro is aimed at newbies. LinuxMusicians is a nice forum, and not so distro-specific, but I've noticed that they tend to get bogged down in the "why" and not the "how" on occasion. Really, other than Phoronix and the LKML, the Linux community in general is pretty cool, just a few loud voices give us a bad rap for being too insular, but that's changing pretty quickly.

Also, don't forget that in the event of a crash, those Bluetooth speakers would become Bluetooth missiles.

Anytime! One of the best things about Linux is that if you're having trouble, you can ask the community for help and more than likely, someone's gonna know something about it, so help is just a post away! Have fun, and good luck!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the sound driver thing has been sorted since pipewire came out, it acts as a sort of bridge between the different sound servers. As far as your plugins, I found two posts from the old place about it: here and here, I wouldn't know specifically on those since I mostly use the open-source ones in the Arch repos. If neither of those help, you could try yabridge, which would be available from your distro's package manager.
As far as DAWs, I'm using Ardour, which is completely free, but there's also a couple of paid ones, REAPER, at $60 for individuals or $225 for a commercial license, and Bitwig, which costs between $100 and $400 depending on which license you buy. Personally, Ardour's been fine for me.
Low-latency can be achieved a few different ways, Ubuntu has a distro called Ubuntu Studio that uses their own tricks to make it happen, it also comes with a bunch of extra stuff for graphic design and video editing. Personally, I went with Arch, and followed the instructions on the Arch wiki, and I see latencies in the low single digits of milliseconds. There's also AV Linux and KX Studio , but I haven't used those, so I couldn't tell you much about them, other than that I hear good things about them.
That was a longer reply than I had intended, but if you make the switch, good luck and rock on!

I've been making an album on Linux, anything I can help with?

That'd be one hell of a punk rock album cover

I only speak English and I understood that

Nah, it's the one full of lobsters

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA

Easy, there's no accordions in BG3 (yet)

Make hooch

Three sentences

It works until it doesn't

I eat apples, are you a fan of me?



Musical self-promotion on Lemmy?
cross-posted from: https://startrek.website/post/22262174
Hello Lemmings! For the past year or so, I've been working on a solo project, and I'm kinda close to being finished with it! It's a punk rock album, made with mostly open-source tools (the only non-FOSS stuff is a couple of plugins that didn't have good open-source alternatives)!
I've seen other folks promote their games here, but so far I haven't seen any music done this way, and I was wondering if it's maybe not allowed? Some sort of Lemmy faux pas? If it is, indeed, allowed, then what communities would be amenable to maybe a twice weekly post? Should one make their own community for this purpose? What about a general purpose community for self-promotion, i.e. "imadethis" back on the old place? As you can see, much to consider. (I don't have anything out yet, so this post in itself is not self-promotion.)
What say ye, o wise Lemmings?

Wasn't expecting copaganda in my game today, but here we are

A door-to-door sales company that sells "No Soliciting" signs
Came up with this during the two days I mistakenly tried to start a new career.

What's a good co-op RTS for the Switch?
For backstory: My partner and I have been playing Super Mario Party so long that it's gotten boring. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is coming up), and I thought something like that would be cool. If X-COM 2 had a local co-op on the Switch, I'd do that, but is there something similar?

Gordon has gotten so big!


I'm sure it's not the radiation...

How to find saved comments
I can see saved posts all day, but saved comments, well that's an issue. It was easy on the previous iteration, just wondering why I can't find it now.

How to search within a specific community?
On Boost for Reddit, this was the feature I liked the most. Is it just not implemented yet?

Making a meme out of whatever Star Trek episode I care to watch.


I was gonna shout out everyone in this community, but I figured out that you were all sus, so this is the meme.

Me when Stamets hasn't posted in four hours (there are no more good memes)


This is my first time posting from Boost, let's see how it goes...

How to change default home
My current "default home" when you open the app or click the home button is set to "Subscribed Top Six Hour". I would like to change that to "All Top Six Hour", but I can't seem to find where to do this. Android app, btw.

Would a federated dating site work well? What would it look like?
Basically title, every bit of online dating nowadays is either Match or Meta, and we're all about breaking corporate chains right?
So these are the thoughts I had:
- Matches based on simple user selection: age range, lifestyle, hobbies etc. None of that dumb algorithm stuff that makes you reset your profile every month.
- ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens.
- E2EE for messaging (and anything else if it's possible).
- Someone wrote an open-source anti-CSAM script for Lemmy recently, I hope we could adapt that to our use.
- Just, like, everyone have a good time on this app, we're here for love lol
I am not a coder, so I would have no idea how to do this, but I wonder about the interest in such a creation. Maybe some of you out there could make something I could use to get a date (pls).
