Same, I always have a backup paper map when I go hiking

Totally understandable, it has a lot going on and if you already know reaper it might be good to stick with it. Good luck!

This is super dumb. I love it.

Bitwig comes with so much that I can’t remember if they have drum samples or just machines or both. I highly recommend you try the free trial to see if you like it before you buy.

If you don’t mind paying for it, Bitwig is probably the best that officially supports Linux. There are also ways to run windows VSTs in wine on Linux. I’m no pro, but I love Bitwig, it has boatloads of cool stuff. Reaper also supports Linux. Ubuntu is fine IMO, I think there is a spin that’s specific to audio workloads that might be nice for a beginner. I use Arch at home but I use Ubuntu for work, it’s pretty nice these days.

Latest release was 9 years ago, not exactly what I’m looking for. 9front is probably closer to what I want than inferno.

I mean, you’re right but I still want to see a modernized plan 9, I just think it would be neat.

This is news to me! I’m honestly just paroting others with the no CLI support, I never did the homework. Shame on me I guess!

This is why I don’t love snaps, proprietary backend. I think snaps actually work great for the most part, and flatpaks don’t support cli apps, only GUI.

I think we should just resurrect Plan 9 instead.

It looks like you haven’t actually created any bridges, just asked virt-manager to use one. If you type: ip a In a terminal it will list your network adapters. If br0 isn’t listed it doesn’t exist.

Have you tried it? How is stability?

That’s fair. I don’t think I personally use ligatures anywhere and I’m not experiencing any issues with foot after using it for a few years so I might just have to stay blissfully ignorant on this one ;)

What do you use ligatures for?

Foot!

What distro ships my favorite term foot?

You could also look into using sixel. It’s kinda like the kitty protocol but older and terminal agnostic.

If you base your opinion of vim from memes you are missing out. Anyone who can’t take 10 minutes to type vimtutor in their terminal is not someone to base an opinion on. These memes come mostly from impatient people that can’t read the docs. It’s a fantastic text editor.

That being said, it’s not meant to be used for written words it’s meant to write code and config files. You want to look for a word processor.

Abiword, etherpad, focuswciter are probably the next 3 biggest on Linux behind libre and open office.

Personally I prefer markdown for most things these days but it’s not exactly meant for word processing either.

This is the big thing that all these Nvidia comments miss. It’s not up to Wayland to support a given GPU. Nvidia is actively hostile to Linux users. If you aren’t making money with cuda there are zero reasons to choose Nvidia on a Linux machine over the competition. I’ve been on Wayland for almost a decade now and there’s no way I’m going back to X at this point.

I did this about a decade ago for my parents. Upgraded their computer last year and they told me they wanted to keep Linux on the new machine.

My dad wasn’t convinced until his hoyle card games ran with wine though.
