  It’s Audacity’s AppImage. The Mint repos are terribly outdated.

    You better get Tenacity.

    Isn't the unofficial successor tenacity since audacity partly switched to a closed/proprietary license?

      It’s not the license. It’s the opt-in telemetry. I’m not sure if this is prepackaged binary or not. Either way, that’s why people switched

        I absolutely understand not like opt-out telemetry. Do people generally not like opt-in telemetry? Is this really why the community shifted to a different project?

    Just out of curiosity: what do you need that the newer versions have but the version on Mint is missing?

      The volume meter is cut off on my old version. I assume that Audacity reads the dimensions of my internal screen (2560px) instead of the one I’m actually using (1920px) when computing the width of the meter.

    Try using audacity flatpak

    • bleistift2@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The audacity website didn’t mention Flatpak, so I thought they didn’t support it. However…

        It’s a good try though, if it doesn’t work for you uninstall it.
