Is the answer 'no' because of Linux itself or because Line 6 doesn't support Linux? It's because of the latter. If you could, theoretically you could run at 8 samples in 96k. RME cards can do that in Linux and are fully supported.

In the end, it doesn't matter "why"... the reality is the same.

It can't be done.

All those top-notch virtual instruments/effects are simply not available.

One could fantasize about an OS far more dedicated/optimized for DAW purposes.

BeOS was one such promising OS.  No profit.  No development.  No future.

 

The DAW using market is extremely small.

The Linux DAW using community is a tiny percentage of that.

It's not economically feasible for companies like Native Instruments, UA, Line-6, etc to spend massive development hours on such a small niche.

No.  It's really not.

Bloatware is generally defined as unwanted software.

Since Win10 was released, I've yet to have a single client who's wanted Cortana enabled/running.

Ironically, a friend of mine worked on Cortana.  Tim Noonan is a great guy, great musician, and super sharp.

Hi, I’m running AV Linux (newbie) and it’s working well so far. How do you install plugins from packages?

Expand  

Noramlly, since it's a Debian based distribution, running "sudo apt install package_name" is the main approach, if the required program or utility exists in the repository. Depending on the package, you may need to use other installation methods, described somewhere in READMEs and/or HOWTOs.

But AVLinux used to have a utility to install software provided and supported by distro developers. Not sure if it's still there.

i toyed with ubuntu a few years back, for about a year, but there was just too much regular stuff (games ?, VSTs) i couldn't do so came back to windows... it would certainly be fine for just officey stuff but once you start getting specific it's just not happening...

I had exactly the same experience as you. I tried the 'imitation' software that always 'nearly' did what you wanted, but was buggy as hell. The word processing software that 'almost' did as much as an old version of Word. I even tried the free DAW... Then I went back to Microsoft.

Lynx is great for coders who find great pleasure in coding for the sake of coding. For a musician, it's just a waste of valuable studio time.

No, this Lynx LYNX

Expand  

Hmm...

I just googled 'lynx for coding'. Did you mean this? I still fail to see how lynx sprays, lynx online coding platform and studio time are related to what is being discussed.

I was genuinely interested when you mentioned Lynx in this thread. Now it seems it's a waste of time, just as you said.
