This example is not meant to put down Linux. Linux is
what it is. But if one
wants to be truthful, one has to admit that a number of functions that are
considered "normal" by a modern multimedia computer user, and of which
screencasting is an example, are not available for a Linux user. Or are
barely available.
I would love to do screencasts and tutorials on Linux Audio. But I have no
idea how. GTKRecordMyDesktop does not work with JACK and hasn't worked for
months - for months! Other apps which I tried don't even have an option or
else require some voodoo rituals.
I just googled ASIO screen casting to see if the grass was any greener
- doesn't look like it! :-)
Using Kazam to do screencasts is quite easy. Though there's no direct
JACK support you can use the PulseAudio sink to route it. Mildly
complex, but doesn't seem any worse than the hoops people seem to be
jumping through on Windows.
And anyway, since when has realtime audio been that mainstream on any platform?
Applications isn't the main reason Linux is not more successful. It's
lack of preinstall options. Windows installation isn't any better,
and in many cases a whole lot more painful - just most people don't
have to do it.
Best wishes,
