4 hours agoThanks for the input! Testing is a good idea. I’ll take a look at elive but from what you mention, it’s probably not what I’m looking for. Not a huge fan of reading “it comes preinstalled with proprietary software”. I’m up for learning the extra steps, I’m actually really interested in it, so this isn’t really a big deal for me – just, well, time-consuming. It’s a helpful reply nevertheless, I’ll think of this as a solution in case I would really fail. Oh and I probably mentioned the issues because I could not get Wifi/Bluetooth to work before and because I don’t use one of the mainstream ones of the focusrite product line, and this could be an issue, maybe not.
Thanks for mentioning Librazik. I’ll take a look at it later.
You are right with KDE as DE, and I am happy you mention it. I guess I’m just being lazy with this as I am familiar with it and I like the looks of it. But true, given I really won’t do much else on there, it’s pretty much a waste of resources, so I’ll take that into account.
I will go with Reaper first and hope this will be a good Ableton alternative. Ardour I’m generally just really curious to try out, so I will give it a shot too, maybe later. The website you mention will be great for this, hope I will be able to read through this ;)
It’s good to hear about the inteface just working, will see how it goes. I remember searching info on that model I have back on reddit and there was one person who tried to get it to work on linux and it sounded complicated, but that was already a few years back
