Wish we could get some native compatiblity with Linux. The closest I've gotten on NixOS was with Bitwig, with a simple compatability script I wrote: https://git

Bitwig has native Linux builds though? Should be very easy, last time I tried it, it was literally click-and-play basically. Ableton is another beast altogether, and I've also been trying to get it running for years at this point, no end in sight. Last time I tried, after being recommended https://github.com/BEEFY-JOE/AbletonLiveOnLinux https://github.com/BEEFY-JOE/AbletonLiveOnLinux (now sadly archived), I managed to get the actual UI to render and be interactive, but still couldn't get proper audio to work with my interface, only software rendered audio, so the quest continues...

  Yes Bitwig is simple. Getting it to work on Nix took the slim layer I made.

    No layer is needed. Bitwig is Linux native.

      Yes I'm glad Bitwig 6 finally hit Nixpkgs making it truly natively reproducible and easy to use.

For the Push 3 standalone they have ported Live to Linux, but it’s confined to their own hardware. > The challenges were many: we had to create an operating system, we needed to deal with porting Live to Linux, we needed to deal with all the gory details of WiFi and authorization. https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/the-evolution-of-push/ https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/the-evolution-of-push/

  I'd probably be ready to shell money for another studio license if they could just make that version available to us plebs that run Linux on our desktop computers. There is basically just 2-3 programs left to have running on Linux for me to finally be able to uninstall Windows, Ableton being one of them.

Bitwig 6 works out of the box on NixOS unstable.
- arikrahman 5mo ago
  I see it on Nixpkgs, excited to try it out. I hope Wayland compatiblity on tiling manager works, I had to use some workarounds previously.
