I’m on the same distro !! Trying to make EVERYTHING perfect

Send help I’m struggling with lifetimes, unbounded channel & implementing EventHandler… <3

I’m too working on a TUI to browse the-eye.eu, I’m still struggling with asynchronous render & Rust.

It’s not meant to be a daily drive, hackerman!

I got my slacks on with dramatic music Slackware Linux! crowd gasps

I checked and everything looks good! I don’t know man… I just made two tracks with this setup but it’s not so bad

I’ll check after but if it works you’re a lifesaver!

Edit: Well. After checking I have the same settings as you, and they look appropriate

I recently tried to sidechain my kick to my 808 while mixing. And when I opened fruity limiter, most of the UI didn’t render.

There are a lot of freeze when you drag and drop things. Serum doesn’t work when I load it, Pigments & Arturia Lab V blink without stopping when I use them. Purity crashes FL Studio 20.

FL Studio 21 crashes when I use dropdown menus, and when it doesn’t crash, I can’t load any sample because it’s impossible to drag and drop without crashing the thing.

The experience is not so bad on FL20 but gosh, how frustrating it is to be so limited in the plugins you can use…

I had no problem installing them tho.

FL Studio is kinda fine, it’s really some very important VST that crash. Event the stock plugins…

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…

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

2. They have been improving FL for longer than I lived know. (I’m 16yo)

3. 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.

4. It had the good aspect of pushing me to sample more, so I discovered a new way to make music ;) !

5. 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.
