I can confirm focusrite scarlet interfaces work fine, and the uv1 should be fine as well but I don’t have one. You may need to get familiar with the Linux audio landscape. VSTs mostly work these days, although I only use foss VSTs so maybe commercial ones have their own caveats.

For pro audio you should be using JACK to connect your sound devices. These days if you run a system that uses pipewire, pipewire can pretend to be a JACK server just fine. I like to use QJackCtl to set up Jack environments, although its not necessary because many DAWs are capable of setting up in the application.

For a DAW I used to love Ardour, now I still like it but am sad that it has been crashing often for me. I don’t use any of them but there are some well liked Linux daws like reaper.

You may have trouble with recording without a preemptable (aka real-time) kernel. Afaict this only matters on lower end computers or when you have a lot of live plugins running, but using a kernel with this feature just means that more kernel code can be interrupted to handle things like fresh audio data arriving over USB.

Mostly, you’ll need some time to get everything working how you want. I agree with the recommendation to use a separate disk in your existing computer for Linux, or get a whole separate computer. The nice thing about using a separate disk is you can know for sure your windows setup is available if needed. For me I slowly left windows behind, only realizing later that it has been a year or more since I last fired it up.

But wait as he has the mandate of the people

Would you believe me if I told you this is how conda works? :P

2 that stand out to me:

When I successfully got virtualbox to boot my windows xp partition inside Linux because I needed to run some software for school.

When I figured out how to use qemu-nbd to mount a qcow2 image backed by a physical block device in order to run non-destructive filesystem repair and file recovery with test disk. Did that for a while for my university IT help desk to quickly save files off failing disks.

Grab an RTL sdr and listen in yourself!

Thank you, I was very confused by that left image.

I think part of that sentiment is also I’m not a threat to the government please don’t kill me

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I’ve been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

Can confirm the faking it is obvious from the kids point of view. Wasn’t terrible but we’ll never know what could have been.

Linux vtty forever! Can’t cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!

Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It’s quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.

When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt… but it is pretty terrible (it’s a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.

… Maybe unplug it?

Sometimes, staples or FedEx just to print the lease, sign the lease, and scan the lease.

chokes to death on coffee

Just pop open a QOpenGLWidget and say goodbye to QML and your sanity forever!

If it was me I would find the other end of that cable first. Most likely you’ll find it in an attic or crawl space if you have access.

Unless it runs all the way to an electrical panel you can probably shut off your power and disconnect the system yourself.

I wouldn’t leave them in the wall while they are still getting power, even if they are capped off.

The stupid thing to do would be short it and see what breaker trips, too risky for me but some people may recommend it.
