Installerte #Ardour på #LinuxMint i dag, ein open source #DAW. Tenkte å finne litt ut av korleis den verkar i påska. Er spent på å sjekke ut midi-instrumenta, som er det eg brukar mest, og finne ut av kvar eg kan utvide plugin-biblioteket. Vert spennande å samanlikna med eple-DAWen Logic som eg har brukt i 18 år.

Linux is unbeatable in some ways. Just installed Mint on a hand-me-down laptop for my kids. Went from borderline unusable with Windows 10 to near-new with Mint. Even the kids got excited by the improvement #linuxmint

Schon schlimm wie schnell man sich auf einem #Windows Rechner unwohl fühlen kann.
Privat nutze ich sich seit mehreren Monaten nur noch #Linuxmint, ein Rechner läuft aber hier noch mit Windows. Den musste ich gestern benutzen um mit #mailstore das Postfach eines bekannten zu sichern.
Bääh, fühlt sich das doof an private Dinge mit Windows zu erledigen, beruflich ist mir das hingegen völlig egal.
