11·2 months agoI’m not a huge fan of his but I think Devin Townsend would blow some people’s minds on broadcast television.
12·2 months agoThat depends on your use case for desktop linux of course. For me, yabridge is the tool I needed to run VSTs on Linux. Its CLI only as far as I know.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not afraid of the CLI. Its just some tools are assuming the end user is a server admin or someone with deeper than the upper crust knowledge of how Linux works.
The mistake is the assumption of a certain level of end user knowledge.
Honestly, as a newbie to Linux I think the ratio of well documented processes vs. “draw the rest of the fucking owl” is too damn high.
The rule seems to be that CLI familiarity is treated as though its self-evident. The exception is a ground-up documented process with no assumptions of end user knowledge.
If that could be resolved I think it would make the Linux desktop much more appealing to wider demographics.
That said, I’m proud to say that I’ve migrated my entire home studio over to linux and have not nuked my system yet. Yet… Fortunately I have backups set up.
Absolutely killer band. Their album “The Missing Link” is one of the most consistent and greatest albums ever written in my opinion. Craaaazy good. The track " Lost In The Ice" is an absolute masterpiece of musicianship and lyricism.
7·3 months agoWhat I was trying to say was that I’m happy to be free of Microsoft’s ability to just sunset an operating system version that I liked and replace it with an even more privacy-disrespecting, ad and AI-bloated nightmare.
Nobara is at least under my control in a significant way. Windows, like so many other software solutions these days wants to treat me like cattle and I want no part in that.
#NobaraGang. I gave Mint a go a few years ago and just never really got anywhere close to replacing my Windows install.
I’ve gotten 90% of all use cases handled by Nobara at this point. The main outlier being my sim racing setup just because according to forums the drivers for all the peripherals are just really not ready for adoption yet. My sim rig will stay on Windows for now as the whole reason I invested in a proper cockpit and peripherals was to reduce the friction involved with enjoying the sims. Also, anti-cheat seems to be a no-go on Linux for now so as an iRacing enjoyer, Linux is out of the question for the time being.
That said, my entire home studio for recording (incl. Hardware peripherals), my daily driver use case and all my other gaming needs are currently met by Nobara. I’m so happy to be able to end my reliance on Microsoft.
Killer band. Love Dean’s YouTube channel.
Decent ear candy album. I liked it.
Check out the album ‘Burial’ by Extol.
What kind of ideas are you hoping to discover? The purpose of this post is a little bit unclear.
Flawless album. Flawless lineup. Marty Friedman absolutely RIPS a hole in spacetime with his guitar on this album and somehow Dave also manages to absolutely shred with him too. Nick Menza is a powerhouse on the drums too. Just fucking phenomenal.
It didn’t sit super well with me either, but I still think it’s quite a good effort. I felt like the band was going through an identity crisis at the time, while Metalcore’s popularity was starting to wane. I remember thinking that the band was kinda pandering to the old guard with this one; the fans that sneered at core bands, as a thinly veiled push for longevity in the metal scene. This is just my opinion which stems from being a kid following the old-school scene that simultaneously loved Trivium at the time. I highly anticipated this album.
Don’t get me wrong. I did and still do enjoy it but in a slightly disappointed way.
Extol’s ‘Burial’ album. You’re welcome.
If y’all have never experienced Extol’s ‘Burial’ album then you’re missing out. I’m an atheist and couldn’t care less about religion but sweet jesus that is a perfect fucking album.
Top 3 of all time for me.
Classic. I love the aesthetic of the mix. Sounds evil as fuck.
He takes his performances seriously, that’s for sure. Intense as hell.
Man Made God is my fav!
Beautiful Death from this album is such an incredible song. Starchild too. The whole album is a masterpiece. I miss this era of Jari.
I do, but I’m also happy that a band that burned that bright wasn’t around long enough to fade away. Nothing but incredible music from them and I’d like it to stay that way, honestly.
