Yeah, that and blue stake are going to be reworked in the upcoming content update, so even LocalThunk agrees with you. I basically did the same thing, just rerolled until I got an investment tag in the first ante and tried my luck from there, but I did all my gold stakes in order so there was still plenty of fun to be had afterwards! And then I worked on getting naneinf, then played some multiplayer after that!

Ya gotta be more subtle than that, something like BUTTS BUTTS COCKS so even if they abbreviate it, it’s still BBC

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.

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?

For sure!

Alright, but what if my music is applicable to more than one community? Like, it’s a punk album, so I’ll probably post it on the music communities and the punk communities, as well as the aforementioned [email protected]. Not trying to spam, but just typing “music” in the search bar brings up five communities where my content would be applicable. Good looking out though, that’s why I asked!

Thanks! You’d be the guy to know what communities go with which posts haha

Cool, yeah will do!

Thanks! Yeah, me too lol, it’d be kind of a bummer to have put all this work into it and then no one listens to my tunes! Most of them are pretty good!

Yeah, fair enough, just thought I’d get a feel for the vibe before I just did the thing. It’s probably gonna be at least a month before I release anything, but like I said in the post, I don’t see other musicians posting their stuff here, so I just wanted to make sure it was cool.

I’m on Ironwolf now

Edit: It’s Ironfox, I got that and Librewolf confused in my brain thingy

You’re naming them out of the stuff that specifically isn’t space!

Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!

Most people don’t know this, but speed bumps are actually hollow. They use a balloon to make the shape, then pour a thin layer of asphalt over it for aesthetic reasons. This saves money on asphalt, which is popular with city councils, so the asphalt is typically saved for more speed bumps rather than filling potholes.
