From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

For the most part it's great, I'm just a bit sad I haven't been able to get a couple of my vsts working in reaper. Other than that, no complaints at all. It boots faster, feels less bloated, and I can still play every game I've cared about so far.

Which VST plugins would you recommend for Reaper on Linux? Been working on leveling up my audio recording, level balancing, denoise, etc.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

The Airwindows plugins are all available for Linux and are some of the best dynamics processors, just not so pretty. https://www.airwindows.com/

Still trying to sort that out lol. I can only recommend definitely not anything from Izotope. Surge XT is a synth that seems to work well though, and graillion works for autotune are a couple I use off the top of my head. I'm not very skilled though, so take the above with a grain of salt.

I use Izotope with Reaper just fine. To get the UI working you need Wine 9.21 or earlier.

Oh shit, really? Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago
