Linux Daws Are The Best

All in good time.

I think the 4.93% might be Temple OS

Am running Linux, that must me whats wrong.

Your link is malformed, and according to wikipedia 42% of web devices use the linux kernel, that does not include embeded devices or games consoles, the word computer seems to have a different meaning to Cakewalk fans.

Great explanation, thanks. I can tell there will be no Cakewalk for linux coming, but if Reaper and Waveform can run on Linux and do so very well, then Linux can not be said to be good for lots of things but not for a DAW, when clearly it can be.

Happy to help, but your wrong, typical name caller, am no troll.

I am waiting on a reply from the site management team, then I will be gone.

I would pay for any software I need on Linux, I recently bought pianoteq which is not cheap, and Reaper, and if Cakewalk was available I would pay for it.

I choose the OS first, I believe in a good foundation, ms is not that, its getting worse too. Don't believe me, just hang around another while with ms and all will come clear. I tried ubuntu studio, it was not as efficient on resources as I like, I moved on to Reaper because it uses way less resources on Lubuntu, which is cut down to keep it lean and fast.

Hi azslow3 , happy to hear from you. Good news regarding the midi side, I have a Kawai piano, usb midi out, straight into the laptop running Lubuntu, from there into pianoteq , or even straight into Reaper with pianoteq playing back the sound as a plugin on the midi track. I also connect the mics through a new SSL 12 usb interface into Reaper on Lubuntu, no driver to install, just worked straight off the bat.

Anyway, the door is closed, no Cakewalk for Linux. Moving on.

Don't be confused, I was told this place was closed to Linux, being an optimist I had to check this out, they were right. You all deserve windows, keep on using it. And NASA were using windows 98 when the rest of the ms fan club had moved on, why, because of bugs and instability creeping in. And as for the man on the moon movie, another prime example of people falling for big tech, surly they wouldn't lie or mislead anyone.

Who are you referring to, happy to see you can count.

No, you need to do some research.

No mind games, other than the one your in, never mentioned Minix server either, you have lost the plot. And no, I am for linux, there are many on here who are not, they are doing the disservice.

Why do they have windows version though, because people are tied into windows, it would be stupid not to have them. People are like sheep, they follow, I thought Cakewalk could be a leader, I know and admit am wrong, I was told it before I posted here, had to experience it to be sure.

Hi Sakini. Linux has come a long way, there is other Daws to run on it, other plugins, and I just buy an audio interface that works in both Linux, its easy now. As long as what you are using works for you, that's all that matters. I would just like to see Cakewalk run on Linux, it won't happen given all the opposition.

Iinux is on most of the computers on the planet, not windows, there is a reason. Do you know what version of windows NASA uses. And yes, I like cakewalk, I stripped out windows to make the most of it, yet I still find Reaper more responsive, I put aside the glitches that occurred in Cakewalk after each microsoft updated because I wanted to give Cakewalk the benefit of the doubt, after all it worked until windows changed and broke it, so how could it be Cakewalk's doing. I liked it for sure, but under Linux everything I have tried just works for me, especially without needing the most up to date expensive processors just to keep ms moving along. When I refereed to windows offering being terrible, I was actually talking about windows 10 and 11.

Oh really, do your homework, they took advantage of the programmer who wrote the Minix OS, to shrink it down even further so they could use it in their spy chip, also tell me why the fan never stopped spinning and the computer could barely do anything under ms crap, yet as soon as Lubuntu or MX Linux were installed the computer fan stopped constantly spinning and the resource usage is barely noticeable, so what was ms doing that required so many resources, I could give many more examples, but I doubt you would believe those either, stick up for ms if you want, they are fully dependent on people like you to cover up for them and keep their gravy train thundering on.

I had no idea Corel were invovled in Linux, I have Corel Draw, nearly typed Corel Daw there. I would not be thinking of Cakewalk on Linux other than I like Cakewalk, and Linux, and I see that apple and ms for their different reasons becoming less advantageous. Linux would already be more popular if it came pre installed, like apple and ms do with their offerings, that way people would not have that barrier to overcome, download, create a bootable iso, partitioning and following the click click installer. But my teenage daughter had no issue with it and she is the most unlikely candidate, she is musical, not technically minded in the least, and she had no trouble, and said linux was much cleaner and easier to use than windows 11, she came from the apple arena, never had anything else until a year ago. In any event I shall retire from here, but will be back to tell you all I told you so.

Reflecting back, I was not pushed to Linux, I had cheaper laptops that would bearly work under windows, so I took the decision to try Linux, that was all it took for me, I never had any big issues with Linux, way less in fact than I had with windows. I could not wait on Reaper to come to Linux, people thought it would never happen, and yet it did. I just see the big two making mistakes that are driving people over to Linux, I partake in many groups, where music plays a big part, and I was shocked to find they use Linux. I see the door is firmly closed to it here, and I have a feeling there will be a missed opportunity to support a growing crowd instead of a shrinking one.

I believe when hunger sets in because the bakery is not reliable, people will move elsewhere, hope this post is still here in 5 years time.

Overlooking what even young people are seeing, apple crapping out early and now cheaping out too, they are buying windows computers, and when they get their belly full of windows taking up half the resources available for spying and running the most inefficient OS of them all, is it really difficult to see how this will end, it is if you believe in the Titanic that is windows, or that apple of old is the same apple we have now. Why not buy a card that works with linux, that is what people who want linux to run do. And time will tell regarding the decline of windows as a result of the crap they are at, same with apple, people don't expect their more expensive chips to perform worse than their very first M1, word is getting around.

And from the resistance to Cakewalk on Linux on here, Linux is better off without these kind of nay sayers.

Right back at you, Genius, is that all you got, have you ever tried Linux, if so then please share your experience.
