Possibly true, dependant on what you're trying to develop.
> better digital audio system
ProTools Linux?
Cubase Linux?
Ableton Live Linux?
The vast majority of plugins for above DAWs?
If you're talking about purely the system, then it's all moot without having some software for audio professionals to run on it.
> better game platform
Now I know you're trolling. edit: sorry I forgot the "Compared to Mac?" part at the beginning, this is probably true, but I have zero experience gaming on Mac or Linux.
- viraptor 2y ago> dependant on what you're trying to develop. Basic system tools have been broken on macs for a few major releases now. And I'm familiar with fixing up lots of Darwin-specific issues in software packaging by now. There's seriously a number of downsides here unless you have to use Xcode. I wrote digital audio system for a reason. Pipewire is currently the best implementation out of the 3 major systems. Whether you want to use it with a DAW or in a different way that requires a Mac-only application is orthogonal here. For a lot of DAW work, you don't even need a fancy sound system to begin with. But also there are DAWs which do work on Linux and there are people preferring them. > The vast majority of plugins Yabridge is there for embedding windows VSTs. It's not that bad.
- herbst 2y agoI actually was surprised that most DAWs I see recommended for newbies actually work natively on Linux like Reaper or Bitwig. (I am newbie in this topic, I just found that argument funny, times change)
