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.

Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.

Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.

IMO for now, post everything on this community itself as it is not that active. We can slowly diversify into niches but we first need to improve interaction.

I used to lurk there and would be interested. I'm also just getting back in to recording whenever I get a spare moment

Not at the moment, I did a fresh install of AV Linux about 2 weeks ago and just in the process of setting up all the tools, vsts and testing out a workflow. Currently have a mix of reaper and renoise and trying to resist the urge to download every vst known to man

I looove renoise! What vsts do you use on Linux?

I'm still exploring what's out there for eqs etc. I tend to use the stock Reaper ones but I'm enjoying using Surge synth and drumgizmo at the moment.

It's not VST but the CALF plugins are just fantastic and completely free

I think those might have been bundled with the distro. I'll have to give them a look, thanks for the suggestion!

I'd be interested in following a linuxaudio community. Want to maybe run Reaper under Linux and get out from under Micro$oft.

I used to be subscribed there and even posted sometimes and yeah I would be interested into having a Linux audio community here.

I'm interested! I have a multiseat machine set up for my kids. Everything works great except the first one to log in grabs control of the single sound card and gets all the sound. I figure there is a way to set up pipewire so that they each have their own sound, but I haven't figured it out yet. (The machine is running Arch, the seats are set up through loginctl, and I'm using Weston and drm-lease-manager to split the single graphics card.)
