I know tons of vst’s work on Linux, just not the one I use. The problem is people need specific software not that just any software in that class.

Sorry but this is what irks me when people say not everything will work on Linux. There’s always someone saying “but you have alternative on Linux” like every program is the same.

You can’t expect someone that uses Photoshop professionally to just start using Gimp in an industry where Photoshop is the standard that everyone uses. Gimp, while impressive, is not Photoshop and requires a totally different workflow. And it’s simply not doable when you’re working with people using and expecting Photoshop. You also can’t expect someone to have to tinker with their PC every time, just to work. People that use their PC to work need it to be reliable. People that use computers as a tool, not to make a political statement.

In my case, I know there are vst’s on Linux. They just don’t have the quality that Amplitube has. And you can’t tell people to “just switch, bro” when they already paid for Amplitube. For these people, at least for now, Windows is pretty much the only option.

Sorry for the rant, I’m done.

Like someone said here, by 2032 wine will run all that. That’s where my hopes are. When that happens more people will use Linux (I know I will) and with more users more companies will start making native Linux versions. Things have already improved tremendously in the last 15 years. I truly believe there will be a critical point soon that will make explode Linux adoption.

But, for now, you have to understand Linux is not yet an option for some specific needs.

The Adobe stuff, Vst’s, etc.

For now I’m happy with Windows 10 LTSC on my main rig. I use Debian on my laptop and Ubuntu on my server. I don’t know what I’ll do in 2032 when LTSC support ends. I’d like to go to Debian on my main rig but some software simply won’t work without hassle (if at all). I hope that changes until then, I love Debian with KDE Plasma.

LTSC is pretty much what Windows should be. And MS hates people are using it so it means it’s the best choice.

I’m curious, how does this affect EU users? Isn’t this against our rules?

More in the sense that someone around him will get scared with the consequences and pull a Jaime Lannnister special on him. All it takes is one.

This will end with Trump dropping a nuke in Iran, or die trying. Mark my words.

Pretty much this. The moment they actual reach end-game they’ll tear themselves apart. Fascism requires an enemy to survive. If there’s none available, they’ll turn inwards and cannibalize.

This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can’t be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren’t.

Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won’t have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.

And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won’t be able to function in society without it.

AI won’t rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn’t being talked enough and how eminent it is.

Washing machine producers hate them.

No problem, how much is “everything” in USD?

I even upgraded the system without a clean installation and everything worked perfectly and I have huge customization in my pc.

My rule of thumb is, if he doesn’t give you the solution right off the bat he won’t give you one. If that happens either fix it yourself or start a new chat and reformulate the question completely.

Blow on it really hard.
