  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?

        Given that they were planning to implement Yandex telemetry, I’m guessing the answer is yes. Plus they decided to age “limit” to 13+ to support these changes.

        If I could recall anything I ate today, I’d tell you what else I remember about audacity back then. As it stands, I can’t. So, sorry about that

  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 ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.
