Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System"
KuzhinierSileon@lemmy.world 11 hours agoIf I could make a suggestion, try already swapping to FOSS while ok windows to make the transition to linux easier on yourself. That is what I did, and it did wonders to help me become better acclimated to Linux.
You could also see if you can run DAW on a VM in Linux or see if your software is supported with WINE. That way you could potentially just run the windows application in Linux without a VM.

You don’t want to run a DAW in wine or VM. Also, I’m familiar with Linux environment, I just can’t live without Directory Opus (mainly) which is a big reason for not switching my main OS away from windows. Also, I’ve had loads of issues working with my NAS from Linux. In Windows network drives are just visible, in Linux not. Getting access has been a major pain, mostly I haven’t been able to get it running with my RasPi. Every time I try a tutorial online I do every step exactly as shown but the result is always different and I get errors no one else ever had (unable to find a solution).

upvote because you’re not wrong, But If they can’t handle mounting smb shares, wine is probably off the table ;)

DOpus is one thing I can’t really understand why is not ported yet. It comes from Amiga anyway, I understand they might have done a lot of OS-dependent things since moving to Windows, but it should be doable, no?

I just sent them an email begging them to look into a Linux version :)

It’s good to bug them about it, but last I checked they just didn’t want to.
