Considering Spez once edited another user’s comments, I would not put that tinfoil hat theory past him.

I think I must have pirated Bitwig because I definitely haven’t paid for anything. That said, I don’t really use it much anymore. I’ve been trying Ableton and don’t mind it.

I say this as a primarily Linux user who also does music production on Windows, but anyone looking for a great DAW on Linux check out Bitwig. I found it really easy to use and well-designed. I’ve done a ton of music production on it and it works great. The only reason I prefer windows is because there are more compatible plug-ins.

There is that trope about how porn tends to dictate technological advancement. Probably will have some sway in this whole debacle. That said, not being as big as reddit is kind of nice. The best online communities are always smaller.

Oh wow Spez is still CEO? I thought he resigned after he edited that user’s comment without permission or whatever. Really kept a low profile since.

I use Linux Mint. I started using Linux in 2007 and was an Ubuntu guy. When Ubuntu switched to Unity I wasn’t a big fan. At the time, Mint was providing an experience fairly close to what I was used to so I gave it a try. It does everything I need so I haven’t looked back. I don’t tinker as much as I used to and it’s very stable.

Also have a windows install I use for gaming and music production, but 95% of the time I’m on mint.

I remember being one of the many who thought touchscreens wouldn’t catch on because people loved physical keyboards too much. Of course, touchscreens weren’t quite what they are today. Haptic feedback and multi-touch were game changers.
