  • Interesting read, thanks for sharing. I tried Bazzite recently myself and not because I was hyped for it, but in hopes of advancing a bit in the life long process of getting my sound card (UAD Apollo Twin) working on Linux - I was turned off initially thinking there would be no possibilities of tinkering with other stuff (sound cards not so much) etc but I was pleasantly surprised, when I took some time to actually read about the distro and the teams goals. Since then my journey has continued onto Pop_OS with some actual luck, I did a lot of sysbench for my memory and cpu the other day and after that I ran lsusb just because, not thinking it would give anything else than the usual, a generic device name (Cypress Westbridge) but there it fucking WAS. I just sat there for a while looking at it like… What? I have been through a few distros at this point and now it suddenly works when I am not even trying. Happy. Then… Updates to the system, or I did something else that I should not have aaaaaaaand its gone. Hello generic name my old friend








  • Ive been running a few different arch based distros this time around though not arch itself. So no… I do not use Arch btw (lol). I am about to install Lubuntu with Ubuntu Studio on top of it due to my bish ass UAD Apollo Twin making me cry soon. I want to to check out DAWs on Linux damn it :) What do you run yourself? I happily take advice on any Linux or workflow related stuff btw.

    Yea I relate to that with learning from forums and tinkering(?), best way for sure but indeed crazy time sink. Im interested in trying learning from creating a few of those ‘Google Podcast from a PDF or whatever’ for maybe other scenarios like when commuting to see if its a thing.

    Yooo I had to look it (BeOS) up myself: last updated on 24th May 2023 - maybe its time for another run… It has been like 25 years. Better get starting with reading that change log lol


  • Hey! 👋🏻 I just wanted to say I appreciate your efforts I am new to Lemmy and fairly new to Linux as well, although committed to the point of trying to write my own drivers if I have to. I have been distro hopping for some months and yea, I really heckin’ like Linux. It comes as no surprise really, always been into computers, remembering installing Red Hat and later BeOS in my teens (it was kind of odd, gotta Google that OS. Is it even Unix based - I dont think it is? 🤷🏻‍♂️ It had nice looking icons lol) in my early teens just to have something else than Win XP or whatever it was at that time to look at. Nerds unite! ✊🏻
