I also wanted to follow up on what I just said with audio software on
Linux tends to just get better. I don't think enough credit is given to
already existing software. Yoshimi for instance is always super
impressive to see all the new features, bug fixes, and refinements.
Ardour and Qjackctl surprises me too. For instance, the new Recording
tab in Ardour is really useful.
One last project that impresses me is kdenlive. Kdenlive is always
getting better and more feature-rich. I feel confident in my ability to
make videos on Linux.
Thanks for reading my rant,

Pipewire is a BIG new addition. I was very excited to see I could use
two audio interfaces at the same time and route them wherever I want
with qjackctl! :) However
There have been some cool new audio plugins too. For instance,
Vitalium is an awesome synth that I've heard is comparable to MASSIVE
(I've never tried massive though). I've played around a little bit in
Vitalium and it is feature-rich.
I've gotten some new plugins from the Arch pro-audio group. For
instance, there are a couple of plugins I have not tried yet:
EasySSP
StereoSourceSeparation
Artican's TheFunction and ThePilgrim
Creative Intent's Temper
They have nice looking guis, but I haven't heard them yet.
There is also a new way to load Window's vsts: yabridge. It's been
getting a lot of attention on the Linux_Audio subreddit, but this is
another thing I haven't tried yet as I tend to use linvst for Windows
vsts, and I don't use very many.
Let me know if I missed anything. The Linux kernel itself is also
always exciting because new audio hardware tends to "just work". The
other day at work I was able to plug in and use a Scarlet 2i2 without
any installation of drivers or junkware. How nice is that?
