Go-On-A-Steam-Train

Thank you so much for this! I never ever see anyone share open-source setups like this for non-hobby work, and it’s inspiring. :)

(Ramble incoming)

I noticed since jumping from windows I’m missing Ableton, and it’s been a mental block of knowing that I’ll need to choose a new way to do things. It’s daft as I loved ardour and LMMS back in 2014, and I’m sure they’re even better now :) I totally need to dedicate some time to music, it’s been a neglected piece of my soul for a bit too long. :)

Edit: also, Plug Data looks brilliant! I loved MaxMSP, and it got me into game making/coding. :)

Thank you, I’m not alone! :)

Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that’s new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn’t know better!

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

Thank you friendly robot :) I couldn’t stop assuming PoE meant Pillars of Eternity! 😅

Thank you :) just added this to my robots.txt :)

Thanks for sharing this! :)

I got a kick out of seeing helm on your list, as I was using the developer’s Unity engine integration for a game when I started coding :) Fantastic synth.

I could also recommend hydrogen as a drum machine - it plays nicely with lmms, which is cool! :) There’s also tuxguitar which I use as a guitar sketchpad when I just want to jot down a thing I’m playing, or learn a complicated song. :)

Trackballs! You speak my language :) Thank you for such an in depth, sourced write-up, that’s incredibly helpful, I’ll definitely check it out :)

Oh damn! I there were about 50 stubborn ones that powerdelete couldn’t scrub, so I did those manually, but… I think I’ll do the same, a fresh gdpr dataset after a few weeks would be interesting…

:) Thanks for the heads up, they’ve become such a weird company, or maybe always were?

I downloaded my comments/posts, then nuked with powerdeletesuite. :) Kept my account open, purely so that I have control over it, and Reddit couldn’t un-delete without me having access to it.

So far, I miss knowing wrestling news as it was my main source of that, but… Meh no don’t miss it much at all :)
