[LAU] So what do you think sucks about Linux audio ?

[Louis Gorenfeld]

Hmm, which DAW? I know that you can now get DiscoDSP plugins and
PianoTeq for Linux, which is fantastic. Those are both very good.

My experience personally has generally been that I have to be very
careful linking to specific versions of libraries (including something
as basic as libstdc++) and that closed binaries which aren't compiled
for a specific distro only go so far on Linux. I realize this can also
be an issue on other platforms, but it seems to be a problem to a
lesser extent.

But yes, I've been out of the loop as far as using Linux as my main
music workstation for some time. If more commercial devs continue to
embrace it, that is great news!
