Yes i also tend to prefer foss if available and suitable. The problem is that sometimes there is no adequate alternative. In my case its music production. Sure there are foss alternatives on Linux, but to be honest in a lot of cases they dont even come close to professional proprietary Software. On top of that i spent hundreds of Euro on music hard and Software, that either just runs on Linux with huge amounts of tweakings and drawbacks or just doesnt run at all. And i am not Willing to give up my soft and Hardware Stack that i built up over the last years.
I also thought about running all this stuff over Windows in a VM, but then im basically in Windows again and i think this defeats the purpose of Switching to Linux.
Same. I know ableton or some native instrument software and unfortunately I’m not even gonna try and make them work with wine because I think it just wouldn’t fully work and glitch.
It is frustrating because I think the new standalone version of push is running some Linux variant?
I dont know about push but machine plus Uses a Linux Variant. But i guess they just use the same for push, because why wouldnt they. And yes this is extra frustrating because aparently they can make their stuff run on linux
Ya software and hardware support like drivers has historically been pretty bad and I still rely on non Linux computer for a few programs.
More and more I’m just opting for the Foss alternative if available and suitable.
