• God I hope there will be a good enough solution for professional audio stuff when Win 10 is done. This and when will the new proper CAD software.

    It sucks ass, but I don’t see how one will be able to change to Linux in those spaces on a professional level. All my private stuff is on Linux systems, though.

      If you have the budget Siemens NX CAD CAM FEA runs on Linux (Redhat and SUSE, also works on OpenSUSE). However the GUI version is NX 12 or prior releases, newer versions are headless…maybe that will change with Linux Desktop gaining percentage steadily

      Whatever version of Windows that allows group policy changes will let you turn off all the annoying stuff, that’d probably be your best bet for now.

      I’m currently using Ardour on Arch with some packages from the pro-audio group, but I wouldn’t exactly call my setup “professional”

      • Yeah I wouldn’t mind trying out Reaper but I’ve only heard bad things when it comes to VST plugins.

        So annoying that Steinberg takes their time to port Cubase to fucking Mac but not Linux. And even if I use Reaper, then I can’t use my Focusrite interface properly.
