What parts of it aren’t working? I’ve had no problem switching between 3 bluetooth headsets (triplets of the same) once I renamed each. Things have been much easier since moving to pipewire in last two years. I can see all of them simultaneously in KDE, so that makes it okay to have one set outputting a recording session monitoring while another does regular audio playback.

Peacock doesn’t work in the browser?

In a browser?

What are the few growing pains?

I find Reaper is great. And Bitwig works well as a replacement for Ableton.

You could try the “Newbie Corner” on the Arch forum (and drop the link back here). There are a lot of friendlies there. Found this thread, in case it helps in terms of lid no suspending: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=294549

I’ve been using Lutris with my Gog games, which has been great. Using it for boomer shooter mods.

Absolutely, especially because Apple is formally discontinuing support for Intel. Seems there are rumors of a new partnership between them in the future, but it is what it is.

I have not personally encountered a Google-based app I could not run within Sandboxing google play services on a GrapheneOS running Pixel phone. So, fwiw, it is working in my experience these last three-ish years.

In that case you would switch back… my thought is to add xkill or similar to a keybinding so it can be called without switching away from the thing.

Haha, I actually talked about it on my podcast at 28:17 of my podcast here. I use the rustdesk clients through a selfhosted server I access through VPN, which has been great while out of the office. I find it simple enough to use, so no real complaints.

What modded games are you playing?

Do you think the USB SSD issue could be because of the partition format? Example, Windows NTFS support can be enabled on Linux so you can then mount it. You can check partition type using a tool like fdisk -l. Perhaps that might help.

Something I’ve found useful is adding flatpak support to the KDE Discover store.

To install Flatpak support in KDE Discover, you need to install the Flatpak backend package. For Ubuntu-based distributions, you can run sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-flatpak. After installation, restart your system and add the Flathub repository using flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Totally. I’ve keybound xkill or similar to recreate that experience.

That does sound annoying. I would hope there is a fix for such a regular crash. Fwiw, I’ve had a totally positive experience with Rustdesk for rdp through VPN.

Where does that become painful? Guess I’m out of the loop on it.

Thanks!

Which VST plugins would you recommend for Reaper on Linux? Been working on leveling up my audio recording, level balancing, denoise, etc.
