Re: [LAU] Kim did the switch to Linux

Nice article. But colored by ideology. I "switched" from Linux to Mac because... -Now I have the freedom of choice what kind of apps I want to use (free software or pro apps) -I have no more headache about bad RT Kernels and user permissions -Only one audio system - core audio - and it is easy to handle -It works rock stable and very intuitive -a very good workflow covering all technics of modern multimedia production -the audio apps are mature production tools with all features I need -Ableton Live - more then a DAW -I can work with video and audio together without crashes -I'm more productive with a Mac environment -I doesn't need to be an geek/nerd to use my computer but I can if I want Only some points. Very subjective. I'm not "against" Linux -I think it is a nice OS for audionerds with a good amount of time. And for pure harddisk recording, developing and testing new concepts. Sooperlooper is an good example: first made for Linux, then ported to OS X and now the "mainstream-Daws" Live and Logic have loopers as new features in their latest versions. regards, Michael ----- original Nachricht -------- Betreff: [LAU] Kim did the switch to Linux Gesendet: Mi, 05.
