I'm always thinking of using tmux for tilling.

Looks cool! Could you consider adding a filesystem view option, though?

(Like, instead of prompting the user to select their music library directory, the user would be able to navigate through their filesystem in the player, which is handy if you organize music into multiple directories and/or don’t tag anything.)

MMarco94 OP , 1 year ago

Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind for the future!

For somebody wanting to get started with making digital music is it best to stick to flstudio or Ableton or are there beginner friendly yet fully featured DAWs for linux?

featherfurl , 1 year ago

I don’t think there’s a clear best here. If you find using wine easier than learning new music software, then sticking with what you know is best. If you’re flexible about your process, there are a lot of amazing free tools and you’ll probably have a more seamless time developing a workflow around them.

Personally I think learning different software is a great way to build a more flexible understanding of the fundamentals of music production, but everyone has different needs so I don’t think there’s a one size fits all approach.

Ardour recently go a lot of Ableton style features in version 7. Zrhythm looks pretty solid. Reaper isn’t foss, but is run by a small & trustworthy team and is my main DAW, though I’m exploring less daw heavy workflows recently. VCV Rack is an incredible piece of software that has thousands of modules and is like having an entire warehouse full of modular synth gear but digitally. Cardinal is a fully self contained version of VCV Rack that works as a plugin and has ~1000 open source modules built in. Bitwig isn’t foss, but borrows heavily from the Ableton paradigm, has their own twist, and has always natively supported linux. Tracktion Waveform isn’t foss but looks pretty cool, depending on what suits your workflow.

thanks your thorough response! I’ll have a look!

lunicoDee , 1 year ago in what is the best privacy distro?

The best for privacy are: Tails, that runs on live-cd; Whonix, which you run in vms; Qubes, which is an os that runs all your user programs inside vms (running whonix inside qubes is the most powerful privacy setup).

frathiemann , 1 year ago in Switch to Linux phone?

I am daily driving my PinePhone Pro running manjaro (Plasma Mobile) for about a year now. I can say, it is definitely daily driveable with some exeptions/limitations:

• The Battery life is horrible, like 3 h max usage from a battery. But since the batteries are cheap and can easily be swapped, I just have 4 of them to get through the day
• The camera is working in the sense, that it can make pictures. If you want nice pictures, bring a separate camera
• From time to time, cellular network connectivity drops out for short moments

Other than that it is pretty much functioning as a real phone. Of curse there are not that many apps. Telegram works natively and flawless, but whatsapp needs to be used via Whatsapp Web. For syncing all my documents and files I use nextcloud which works without any problems (once set up)

There is also the non Pro Version of the PinePhone, which is much slower, but has a better camera software and longer battery life (and is cheaper)

I also daily drive PPP. But I use the Pine keyboard to extend the battery life.

CalcProgrammer1 , 1 year ago

Same, I’ve been daily driving the PinePhone for a few years now between the original and the Pro. The keyboard case is a must have right now due to power draw issues. I’ve tried Arch and postmarketOS, settled on postmarketOS now.

Shatur , 1 year ago in Linux on Android

I running GNU/Linux on my Phone natively. And I use Waydroid layer to run Android apps. So I kinda doing the opposite 😄

to_urcite_ty_kokos , 1 year ago

I always wandered what the battery life would be like on these devices

Shatur , 1 year ago

The battery life is awful. But I bought the official clamshell keyboard for it that replaces the back cover and expands the battery capacity. With this accessory the battery life is good.

Good luck, I’m dogshit at maintaining the comments lol

A couple of these are quite useful for me, thank you. I finally installed bat.

Parse JWT token which is base64 (alias is CSH syntax), usage: tokenparse filename

alias tokenparse "cat """$1""" | jq -R 'split(""".""") | .[0],.[1] | @base64d | fromjson'"

Never worked with them but maybe helpful for the future.

Skunk , 1 year ago in The Current Challenges With Using Linux On Airplanes

What ?

I work in ATC (air traffic control) and everything runs on Linux, from radars correlation to flight data processing.

And it’s not just us, most Air navigation service provider in the world works the same way.

Dank.

vacuumflower , 1 year ago in is there a Linux alternative to windows 10/11 that is similar?

No, it’s a different OS not intended as an alternative to Windows in any other sense that it’s a desktop OS too.

But it won’t be hard if you start with something common, like openSUSE or Debian.
