Already switched my laptop to mint. It’s great, except dealing with ALSA has been a nightmare.

WeebLife ,

I have a more specific use case than most ppl. I would still say mint is ready for mainstream ppl that mainly need it for all the basic needs.

Question about JACK audio interface.

Hi everyone, I got my e-drum kit to successfully work in reaper, using yabridge for the VSTs. Shortly after, I found another way in which linux audio is different than windows. While using reaper, I am unable to play audio from any other source. Through research, I discovered that it’s because I’m using ALSA and that I need...

WeebLife OP ,

I’m using linux mint. And sorry, but I’m a noob wktu audio software. I’m pretty sure I already have pipewire, but I’ll double check. Are you saying to try pipewire instead of qctl?

WeebLife OP ,

Would you recommend JACK for low latency inputs and allowing me to play along to songs on YouTube? I was able to get it work with pulse audio but the latency was too high.

WeebLife OP ,

I tried my best, but it’s a no go. As I mentioned, I’m a smooth brain linux noobie… the only dmix devices I have are PCH, and a bunch of different Nvidia ones. I tried setting the device to PCH and Nvidia but nothing worked. I’m just going to find a different solution. Thanks for the help tho

WeebLife OP ,

I tried this, but when I use JACK in reaper, the audio is all messed up. I’m just gonna give up and find a different solution. Thanks for the help tho

Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...

WeebLife ,

I agree, now how do I get my mom to quit telling me I’m going to hell?

WeebLife ,

She’s almost 70 now… I don’t think there’s anything I can say that will change her mind lol

WeebLife ,

Why did you switch from mint?

WeebLife ,

I see. I’m just starting my linux journey, and right now, mint is working great for me. At some point I’ll probably start distro hopping.

WeebLife ,

I’m sure I would notice more issues or hiccups if I daily drove my laptop. It’s just my secondary device right now, but I’m also testing/learning linux for when I switch my main desktop over.

WeebLife ,

I just recently switched to mint, and so far it’s been great. I will say though, I find it pretty ridiculous how many hoops I had to jump through just to get my second drive to mount on boot and for programs to maintain write permissions to it. Which is a situation that a lot of non tech savvy will deal with when switching, especially gamers.

WeebLife OP ,

No, I did see some tutorials on using that, but they said that any mistake could result in crashes and having an ubootable pc… so I didn’t want to risk it.

WeebLife OP ,

I followed this video and the auto mount works, but my programs still can’t write to it due to lacking permissions…

WeebLife OP ,

I followed the video tutorial that was in another comment and it worked but my programs still can’t write to it due to lacking permissions

WeebLife OP ,

No, I formatted it to ext4

WeebLife OP ,

No, ext4

WeebLife OP ,

Already had to use it and timeshift back lol.

WeebLife OP ,

Thank you! This worked!

WeebLife OP ,

I followed another commenter’s guide using that command and it worked, thanks

WeebLife OP ,

I have done the chown user command and that did fix the problem. My programs are able to write to it now. Thanks for the help

WeebLife OP ,

Ok thank you.

WeebLife OP ,

What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *

WeebLife OP ,

I’ve been bouncing between live versions of ubuntu and mint. I’m still learning, so thank you for educating a linux ignoramus like myself.

WeebLife OP ,

I actually don’t think I need to use wine anymore. I was trying to use it to get some music vsts, but I think I can do that through different means. But now I realize that it didn’t work in mint because I installed the wrong one from the software store

New Linux user, here is my use case. Distro recommendations?

Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...

WeebLife ,

I wonder what I keep doing wrong with Linux mint. It just doesn’t work for me lol. But I hope it works better for you!

WeebLife ,

I was running a live version from my USB, and all I was trying to do was install wine… i first tried the built in software store but that didn’t work. Then I tried installing through command line and that didn’t work. I tried several different times and zilch. The first time I loaded up ubuntu I got wine working without a problem. Idk. But I’m glad it works for you.

WeebLife ,

I’m glad you had a better experience than I did. The past two nights, I was messing around with a live version of mint and had nothing but problems. The programs I installed from the software manager didn’t work and I couldn’t even get wine to work. I followed the instructions on mints site and wine kept having installation errors. I’m going back to ubuntu as I didn’t have these problems with that distro. Glad you’re up and running though!

WeebLife OP ,

I would prefer to stick with reaper since I’m familiar with it and going off other comments, it seems that I can still use windows vsts in linux so I think that is the route I’m going to go

WeebLife OP ,

Oh I see what you’re saying. I’m still getting used to linux. I have a steam deck and have been using the desktop mode quite a bit, so I’m familiar with the app store in there. But I’m still not used to it thinking about going there to install what I need. Thanks for the tip

WeebLife OP ,

Thanks for the tip!

WeebLife OP ,

Thanks for the info. I checked out ardour and it seems like a good product. Looks like I’ll have to branch out more and see what my options for vsts are.

WeebLife OP ,

I have been using the “try ubuntu” option from my Bootable USB, I downloaded ardour but was disappointed that their demo was only 10 min… while I was setting up my e kit to make sure it worked, it kept bugging me every 10 min to pay for the software. That was pretty off-putting. I think I will keep using reaper.

WeebLife OP ,

Not yet unfortunately, I’m still new to linux so it’s still taking me longer to figure things out. I got reaper up and running really easy, but wine took a while to figure out. But I eventually got that working and was able to install Steven slate audio center and I git my drum kit to register in reaper. But I wasn’t able to get Steven slate working, I think I’ll have to use yabridge, which several other comments brought up. But I’m making progress!

WeebLife OP ,

Oh wow, I didn’t realize steam os was that different compared to other distros. Last night I was trying to install wine on ubuntu, and it wasn’t listed in the app store. I thought this was weird, cuz it’s in the discover store. So I had to manually install it. Not sure if it’s because I’m still using the “try ubuntu” instead of the full installation. But that helps knowing that all flatpaks work with every distro.

WeebLife OP ,

That sounds pretty awesome. But it’s probably more than I’m needing right now. I will keep it in mind in case I want to do more later on

WeebLife OP ,

I checked it out and it is a more than I’m needing right now. I’m not an audio guy and bitwig is a little over whelming.

WeebLife OP ,

I checked out ardour and I was able to get it to register my drum kit, but they kept pestering me to pay for the program every 10 min which was frustrating. Bitwig is a little more than I need at the moment. I’m not creating music, I just need drum triggers and basic drum recording. I was able to get reaper to work and pick up my kit, but I still need to try yabridge to get vsts to trigger.

WeebLife OP ,

I was able to get reaper working on ubuntu and everything else seems to be working well. I will check out mint though and see if I like it better

WeebLife OP ,

Bitwig is pretty sweet, but definitely more than I need right now. I was able to get my kit to register in reaper so I’ll probably stick with that for now.

WeebLife OP ,

I was using ubuntu and I got the program from their main site. I saw they offered monthly subscriptions but I just chose the demo. On their site, it says the demo goes silent after 10 min… I searched the app store in ubuntu and didn’t see it so that’s why I went to the website. That’s cool you can build it from source though. I think I’ll just stick with reaper now however.

WeebLife OP ,

I tried linux mint and fairly quickly I had more issues than with Ubuntu. I tried to install reaper through the app store and it wouldn’t launch. I had to get it from the website. I also tried to get wine through the app store and that didn’t work either. I couldn’t even get it to install properly through the terminal. I’m not too sure about switching now.

WeebLife OP ,

I was able to get reaper working with yabridge and I’m using Steven slate free sampler. Thanks for the help

WeebLife OP ,

I was able to get reaper working with yabridge and using Steven slate free sampler, thanks for the help!

WeebLife OP ,

Hi, I ran into a problem with reaper taking over my audio driver and I’m not able to play YouTube, or any other music, while reaper is open. I didn’t have this problem in windows because I had the aiso4all driver. But doing some searching, I’m not sure that driver will work on linux. Do you have any insight as to how to fix this?
