Librazik2 + Mixbus Harrison + Reaper + Ardour + Waveform Tracktion + project Bitwitg studio/Actually leaving Macos for Linux. It's very easy to install Librazik2 (Debian Stretch for music = unbreakable and very fast) Windows has come a long, long way in this department and has done a great job too, but Linux hasn't really budged. That's in large part a deliberate choice about target audiecnces and markets. MacOS doesn't run at all on AWS Linux and Windows do. To my mind, MacOS went after the audio / MIDI stuff some years back and really nailed it. It's a really big undertaking with no appreciable support from the center of the Linux community.ĭifferent OSes carve out different spaces for themselves. It's not as though there hasn't been lots of complaining about support for audio under Linux. Having the technical skill to make such deep modifications to Linux is one thing (no slam dunk, there are very few people who could credibly do it), but maintaining and distributing it all - yikes. The realtime kernel forks of Linux have been in this boat, and they had some pretty powerful backing (e.g., Intel), but it is still at best an uphill struggle for them. That forked branch has to integrate important changes and security fixes and all the rest from the main branch. The only realistic option is to fork a Linux kernel branch that adopts a new scheduler model and device driver model. These are not minor obstacles - they are showstoppers. The device driver model that Linux uses makes it difficult / impossible for closed source drivers to be widely used. The scheduler has been tuned extensively with that in mind, and scheduler changes that have a different agenda will fight with that objective. Linux is basically the OS on which The Cloud runs. If an ALSA replacement requires modification to the scheduler and the device driver model of Linux, and if one wants to get those changes into a mainstream distribution of Linux, and wants for them to be maintained as Linux kernel development goes forward, then this means basically getting the changes pushed into the primary Linux kernel master. I bet they could even write off the entire expense of the development (making uncle sam pay for ALL of it) since it could easily be a donation to something like The Linux Foundation.erm, no, it doesn't work like that I'm afraid. The rest of the Linux community would appreciate it and refine it to be more stable over time. Linux powers the The beauty is that anyone with the skill could decide "I'm going to fix ASLA." A company like Avid could easily do this and then have it suited exactly to their needs. For file servers, web servers, general purpose desktops, databases etc etc. But you could also be getting kernel panic messages or finding out that the host adapter you bought has a flaky open source driver that took you 2 weeks do troubleshoot because there is no documentation or support center to call at all so you spend hours trying to search the web for a post somewhere that someone found the same issue and maybe resolved it. Now both are annoying as hell competing for each other on how to be the most proprietary in some ways. OSX is the over the top price and Windows is just the damn Microsoft-ness of it. Yes Windows and OSX have certain hassles. But they know full well that it's a loss trying to keep up with all the variations of Linux. I really wish more companies have considered moving to Linux world.IF there was a model to make a profit doing it they already would have. The sole reason I have Windows on that PC is music software. That was humiliating experience and I have been treated like a potential thief. I had to spend two days on the phone with Microsoft in order to activate my retail Windows again and I had to even send them proof of purchase of the motherboard. ![]() Recently I have upgraded my PC and obviously Windows 10 has deactivated itself. ![]()
