thanks for the clarification. I just recently got into linux and don't know much, but as i was researching Fedora, that's what i came across. Which is a pretty big turn off for a newcomer migrating from windows and wanting to get away from big corporations.
Isn't red hat enough reason to not use fedora?
Alas, I have been defeated. My smooth brain wasn't able to figure out linux audio. But I found another solution. My drum kit has audio pass through, so I connect my laptop via aux cable to my drum kit input and my headphones to my drum kit output. That allows me to play along with songs on my laptop. The trade off is I'm stuck with the built in drum sounds on my kit, which aren't as good as VSTs in reaper.. but at least I found a solution.
The story is much better told through Vaati's words. And his voice is very soothing to listen to.
I have a more specific use case than most ppl. I would still say mint is ready for mainstream ppl that mainly need it for all the basic needs.
Already switched my laptop to mint. It's great, except dealing with ALSA has been a nightmare.
I tried this, but when I use JACK in reaper, the audio is all messed up. I'm just gonna give up and find a different solution. Thanks for the help tho
I tried my best, but it's a no go. As I mentioned, I'm a smooth brain linux noobie... the only dmix devices I have are PCH, and a bunch of different Nvidia ones. I tried setting the device to PCH and Nvidia but nothing worked. I'm just going to find a different solution. Thanks for the help tho
Would you recommend JACK for low latency inputs and allowing me to play along to songs on YouTube? I was able to get it work with pulse audio but the latency was too high.
I'm using linux mint. And sorry, but I'm a noob wktu audio software. I'm pretty sure I already have pipewire, but I'll double check. Are you saying to try pipewire instead of qctl?
She's almost 70 now... I don't think there's anything I can say that will change her mind lol
Hi everyone, I got my e-drum kit to successfully work in reaper, using yabridge for the VSTs. Shortly after, I found another way in which linux audio is different than windows. While using reaper, I am unable to play audio from any other source. Through research, I discovered that it's because I'm using ALSA and that I need to use JACK instead. I looked up guides on how to setup JACK and qctl and was unsuccessful. I came across a video explaining different problems with JACK and it mentioned that using a pcs built in audio card may not be able to handle the audio in JACK. Right now, it seems like I need to come up with a different solution. But I thought I would ask here and see if I have any other options. I don't have any external dacs, but I do have my desktop pc that still has windows so I'm thinking of giving up on using my linux laptop for my music needs.
Tldr- want to use reaper while watching YouTube vids. Alsa won't allow that, and jack isn't working on my laptop.
It's really not that difficult to go through these games with minimal guide use. If you're looking to 100% them, then yes, a guide is essential to use. And you always have summoning in boss battles, and ER added npc summons too. Once you just embrace the games with an open mind , they become more enjoyable.
I agree, now how do I get my mom to quit telling me I'm going to hell?
I'm sure I would notice more issues or hiccups if I daily drove my laptop. It's just my secondary device right now, but I'm also testing/learning linux for when I switch my main desktop over.
I see. I'm just starting my linux journey, and right now, mint is working great for me. At some point I'll probably start distro hopping.
I have done the chown user command and that did fix the problem. My programs are able to write to it now. Thanks for the help
Bonjour tout le monde,
I have finally fully installed linux mint and have been working on getting everything up and running. So far, I haven't had many issues, but I am having trouble with my 2nd drive. I just want my 2nd drive to mount on boot, and for programs to be able to write to it.
I have looked up guides on pulling up the disks in mint and going into the mount options and selecting mount on boot. This works, but for some reason, programs lose permission to write to it. When I switch the drive back to 'user session defaults' programs can write to it, but it doesn't mount on boot. I haven't found anyone mentioning this problem so I thought I would post here. Also, my home folder isn't encrypted and when I go to permissions on the drive, it says 'permissions could not be determined'
Thanks
Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, "sudo apt install wine" and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit.
Do I need to install both 64 and 32bit versions? Or is just using "install wine" sufficient?
Hi everyone,
I'm getting fed up windows and want to switch my laptop to linux. My laptop also doesn't meet windows 11 standards so I figured nows a good time to switch. I don't do a whole lot on my laptop, but there are some programs that I do need to use. I have an E drum kit and right now I use reaper and Steven slate audio center to play and record my drums through my laptop. I looked at reaper, and I see linux options for download. But for Steven slate , I only see windows and Mac. This is pretty disappointing and so I figured I ask to see what would work for me.
I was going to go with Ubuntu, because it seems to be the most user friendly and has good support. I also use mullvad VPN on my laptop very frequently, which was another reason I chose Ubuntu.
Any help is appreciated. I'm willing to look at other distros too if there is one that better fits my needs.
EDIT: I have successfully migrated to linux mint and have reaper working with yabridge. Thanks, everyone, for your help and suggestions!
I'm taking my first international flight this year. I've got my passport and bought the plane tickets. However, I noticed that my middle name on the ticket is missing the last 2 letters. I contacted the airline and they said that middle name doesn't have to match passport. I just want to make sure that is correct, I don't want to get stuck at some airport because my middle name is missing 2 letters on the plane tickets.
November 24, 2023 - The incredible teamwork and tenacity of several Pueblo County Sheriff’s units, Rye Fire and Flight for Life led to the successful rescue of a Chicago family after they became fatigued and stranded in the Greenhorn Mountains Wednesday.
My friend and I have tried to summit greenhorn before, it's definitely not a trail to underestimate, even for experienced hikers.
This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.
Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature, but to my knowledge, newer phones (in the major companies anyway) have abandoned this feature. Did everyone else unanimously agree they don't care for this feature?
Examples: diablo 4 on blizzard client will let you play it before the full game is installed. The ps5 also let's you do this when installing a new game. But I've never seen this option on steam games.
Hi everyone,
I am currently a student in a physical therapy assistant program and I am nearing graduation. I want to start studying for the board exam and there are several apps that are specifically made for this purpose. However, I am struggling financially and all these apps require a subscription service. I did some digging and found lucky patcher on reddit. Now for my questions: 1. does lucky patcher work on subscription based apps, or only one time fees? 2. Does lucky patcher have to run each time you use the app? 3. Is it safe?
If anyone has any other solutions that would be great.
I'm reading Vagabond and noticed that the samurai who are learning swordsmanship at a dojo will have this hairstyle, so is it just to show that they are students st a dojo?
Amazing concert and great way to end the mega monster tour.
I remember when the ps4 came out, the controllers were $60. Why are they more expensive now?
Certain games such as the re4 remake and stray, will randomly drop to 5 fps for a few seconds, then jump back up to 30-40 fps. These games normally run fine at 40fps but I'm not sure what causes the drops.
