30100 EP è il mio primo disco rap! Ed è pazzesco quanto amore stia ricevendo da questa scena. Tanti repost, tanti consigli, tante persone che non conoscevo che mi scrivono di continuare a fare rap. Venendo dal mondo della musica elettronica questo è veramente una novità per me.. Ai miei amici dj e producer (house-techno-ukg etc) del veneziano dico: tiratevela meno e supportate la scena locale che alla fine sarà quella che forse vi salverà... Bless

Rising from the dark waters of the lagoon comes the sound of Dj Nap.
Deeply inspired by the post-dubstep sound of the late 2000s, the EP captures the anger, romanticism, and melancholy of a twenty-something in the 2020s. Like memories dissolving into the Venetian fog after a boat ride back from an unreachable party.

Haven't got around to making a video for anything I've done yet. Really busy this time of year. Will submissions be open after the station starts? Might have time in the new year...
definitely, open hopefully forever!
I love that there’s an extra reason to make music videos now. Looking forward to seeing yours 🫡💜

Hi — we’re running a small, stable self-hosted setup and wondered if it’d be useful for us to act as a relay for Fedi MTV.
We can pull a single RTMP/SRT stream and re-serve it (EU-based), probably good for ~20–50 concurrent viewers to start.
Best-effort / volunteer, no expectations — just offering bandwidth and resilience if it helps.
If that’s of interest, let us know what ingest format you prefer and we can test quietly
Totally understand — launch week is sacred.
If it helps later, we’re happy to just handle video relay and leave chat entirely with you. No rush either way
If it helps later, we’re happy to just handle video relay and leave chat entirely with you. No rush either way
@alan are you running Owncast as well? Just wondering how we could possibly share the load (a few more of us have servers too!) … do you mean to redirect some viewers to different sites, and all ingest the same RTMP stream?
There might be a way to merge chats in the future as well…

Well that isn't good...
@ddlyh That "you will be able to enter your fruity chat messages" notice isn't coming from Owncast itself, so something looks like it was tweaked there. I'm super excited about this, since I tried doing a 24/7 MTV-style music video stream in the past and couldn't get anybody to submit anything. So this is wonderful that it's working out way better than I ever did.
Yeah, re: the chat window. My “fruity” message is just normal HTML in between the two iframes (video + chat) — I didn’t tweak anything in the iframe itself, and the Owncast server is just at defaults
Fingers crossed the mention of fruit didn’t shock the chat window into retreat 🤞🏻🍒
Will there be news, particularly foreign news, and academic materials too?
@t3hh great! Yes I think so. We are really committed to improving the music discovery landscape, and it’s a whole big group of people. So if one needs to drop out, another can take over.
This is awesome. I'm sending to my folk music friends, some of my unwarranted feedback at first glance:
-Fedi mtv is a better name than indie beat fm
-colour code/font choices are somewhat uncool
The design overall feels outdated. Idk if it's owncast itself or this specific project
F U C K Y E A H 
excited to see where this goes!
this is so cool! MTV was very formative in my teens

Ho quasi ultimato di organizzare lo studio per il 2026. Ho ancora del lavoro da fare per riuscire a settare le mie due schede audio per utilizzarle contemporaneamente con una latenza accettabile. Sto provando con Pipewire, ma probabilmente tornerò a Jack. Ovviamente su Windows per farlo sarei diventato idrofobo (o forse è ancora impossibile, chissà), sotto Linux è ancora a PITA, ma ce la faremo!

Ricordiamo che su Poliverso non sono ammessi post che esprimano odio o disprezzo verso categorie di persone: questo tipo di contenuti determina la sospensione immediata!
Si possono esprimere opinioni di ogni genere, anche in controtendenza rispetto al comune sentire, ma ci sono delle regole da rispettare.
Queste sono le regole di Poliverso:
0) L'utente deve conoscere la fediquette, una netiquette del fediverso
1) L'utente che utilizza Poliverso deve sentirsi più felice, più sereno, più aperto alla discussione e più fiducioso nell'intelligenza e buona fede altrui. In caso contrario è meglio che cambi istanza
2) Poliverso è parte del fediverso e vuole continuare a farne parte: ogni atteggiamento ostile o comportamento tossico verso utenti di altre istanze comporterà la sospensione
3) E' vietata la pubblicazione di contenuti illegali, contenuti disturbanti (senza contrassegnarli come sensibili), spam, comportamenti e discorsi d'odio e disinformazione (trucchetto per individuare la disinformazione: se prima di postare un contenuto la prima domanda che vi ponete è "Come posso sapere se è disinformazione?", allora è disinformazione)
4) Sono consentiti account istituzionali, commerciali o promozionali, purché la comunicazione avvenga in italiano e non sia equiparabile allo spam
5) Friendica non dispone di un sistema di moderazione: per minimizzare i rischi di sistema, gli utenti che non seguono l'amministratore o che non gli rispondono tempestivamente, potrbbero essere espulsi dalla piattaforma.
6) Se vuoi dare un'occhiata alla timeline locale, guarda qui. Se non ti piace, puoi iscriverti altrove (qui puoi esportare il tuo account per portarlo in un'altra istanza)
Esiste una #fediquette?
La risposta breve è sì, ma abbiamo creato un post per spiegarlo meglio.
E ricordiamoci sempre che la parola #fediverso contiene le radici delle due parole più importanti per la socialità universale: alleanza e diversità.

The obvious choice for ActivityPub’s birthday would be the 23rd of January 2018 - the day it was annointed as a W3C recommendation. That doesn’t seem quite right though - its not as if the spec came into existence in any sense upon that date. In fact, Mastodon implemented it before thne.There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump and pushed it to Github
It wouldn’t be until November that I actually submitted (a revised and enhanced version of) that draft to the working group, but even then I had the very nucleus of the specification written down.

io uso Windy. È dettagliata per i venti, amata dai surfisti. Però mostra le previsioni meteo e ti permette di vedere le previsioni secondo i diversi modelli meteo. A me pare che il modello ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) sia quello più preciso, ma la mia opinione non fa statistica. Inoltre c'è la versione a pagamento, ma io ho sempre usato quella free e non ho mai avuto necessità di fare l' upgrade.
sulla questione privacy non ti saprei dire ma sulla qualità delle previsioni secondo me 3BMeteo è una delle migliori, poi uso Windy per le mappe interattive.
@ramocalnasip @dariosoldi grazie a entrambi, su vostro suggerimento sto provando windy e devo dire che è molto interessante. Se non mi martellano in continuazione chiedendomi di pagare magari me la compro anche 😂

perché le donne abortiscono? perché rimangono incinta non volendolo semplicemente esercitando il diritto al benessere sessuale
e la contraccezione? certo ora esiste, ma nessun mettodo è sicuro al 100%

tastiera virtuale per ipovedenti
ora avrei bisogno di aiuto..
Mio fratellino (storia lunghissima che racconterò, forse, un'altra volta) è ipovedente.
Purtroppo essendo nato sordo, non parla nemmeno. Grazie agli impianti cocleari sente e capisce quasi tutto, ma non emette suoni.
Grazie alla tecnologia, però, sta imparando a comunicare. Sa leggere e scrivere al computer, anche se solo su nostro input, mai in modo spontaneo.
Usa una tastiera fisica per ipovedenti, con tasti grandi e ad alto contrasto, e la gestisce discretamente bene.
Recentemente ci siamo dotati di una lavagna interattiva per supportare il suo percorso educativo e di sviluppo.
Ho collegato la tastiera alla lavagna, ma non vuole usarla: preferisce stare in piedi e utilizzare quella virtuale direttamente sullo schermo della smart board (o forse semplicemente associa la tastiera fisica al computer... poco importa!).
Problema: la tastiera virtuale dobbiamo ri-attivarla spesso, inserire il CAPS LOCK (sa leggere e scrivere solo in maiuscolo) e con certe app non funziona..
Ecco perché avrei bisogno di una tastiera virtuale — che rimanga sempre visibile, o almeno di facile attivazione, sullo schermo della smart board — ad alto contrasto e con lettere maiuscole. La lavagna è basata su android.
Grazie se qualcuno può aiutarmi

Ho dimenticato dei dettagli:
Mio fratello ha 13 anni, in piena pubertà. Mentre il suo sviluppo cognitivo è attorno ai 6-7 anni. Difficile dirlo
Lui vive con mia madre, che non è più giovanissima (70). Anche se se la cava bene con la tecnologia, a volte può essere un ostacolo.
Io e miei altri fratelli andiamo spesso a darle una mano, ma ecco..non siamo sempre lì con loro. Per questo avrei bisogno di app semplici da utilizzare (dell'installazione posso occuparmene io)
Ciao, uso la tastiera Heliboard, che è un progetto open source. I tasti sono maiuscoli e si può personalizzare nei colori e nella grandezza.
La visibilità della tastiera avviene quando un campo "scrivibile" ottiene il focus, quindi direi che dipende o dalla app che usate come board, o dai criteri di accessibilità del dispositivo. Possono essere alterati?
Diversamente, potresti provare a chiedere supporto agli sviluppatori, o qualcuno abile col codice del progetto open, provando a spiegare la situa in inglese e affidandoti a qualche anima pia che possa sviluppare l'opzione di non nascondersi.
Anche se, una tastiera visibile, che non può scrivere, diventa di intralcio e peggiora l'usabilità dell'interfaccia.

@Tassoman grazie mille! Proverò Heliboard.
Per quel che riguarda i criteri di accessibilità del dispositivo, credo che siano piuttosto limitati ma ammetto che non ci ho smanettato molto.
Sul fatto di avere la tastiera visibile quando non bisogna scrivere, è vero è di intralcio e probabilmente gli confonde il campo visivo già limitato. È solo che con lui dobbiamo sempre essere pronti. Magari un secondo vuole scrivere e quello dopo no...
@Low res Loud audio grazie di cuore. Non conoscevo il sito ma ho visto che alcuni ausili li abbiamo già (tipo la tastiera low vision o comunicatore CAA - che non utilizza 🙁 ). Darò un'occhiata, magari scopro qualcosa di interessante.
Le tastiere che ho provato dello Store non soddisfacevano le nostre esigenze - ma ammetto che non ho avuto molto tempo per testarle e smanettare.
@Low res Loud audio grazie. La comunicazione è un grosso problema, negli anni abbiamo provato di tutto. Le PECS con lui non funzionano molto perché tende a mostrarci la prima scheda che gli capita in mano e trascinarci fisicamente verso quello che vuole, indipendentemente dall'immagine sulla scheda.
Anche coi dispositivi "comunicatori" funziona poco, non ha pazienza. La sua richiesta deve essere soddisfatta nel giro di pochi secondi..altrimenti si arrende e non usa più lo strumento che invece dovrebbe facilitare la comunicazione.
Ora adottiamo un approccio misto: LIS semplificata (c'è un metodo chiamato PORTA sviluppato dalla fondazione Svizzera a favore di persone sordo-cieche), qualche volta scritte al computer, schede tipo PECS (solo per alcune cose), ma è difficile perché ormai è grande..
Noi in famiglia lo capiamo abbastanza bene, ma dobbiamo fare in modo che possa farsi capire anche dal mondo esterno.

@Elena Brescacin @Poliversity - Università ricerca e giornalismo grazie 😚 per il momento è tutto in sospeso, mio fratello non ne vuole sapere di usare la lavagna in questo periodo 😅
@aimee80 non si può fare molto con queste cose qua, se uno un ausilio non ne vuole sapere, non lo userà (come gli anziani col bastone; quanto fa incazzare i parenti?)
@Elena Brescacin lo so, non lo forziamo assolutamente. È che in estate esisteva solo la LIM e la piscina per lui, ora non entra nemmeno nella stanza dove ci sono i dispositivi 😅

@Natanox @coq If someone said "Blender is great for making 3D animated movies" then I would be able to tell that the 2024 Oscar-award-winning movie Flow is a good example of some free and open source software being used for just that purpose.
But as someone who uses a myriad of design tools professionally on a Mac and runs GIMP on Linux at home, I can tell you how horrible GIMP is to use compared to other industry standards.
@coq @Natanox @matt and #SchleswigHolstein has switched completely away from #Windows or #Google, and uses #Libreoffice and #linux.
@feike @coq @matt They plan to, they still don't do it. In fact some regions of SH once again procurred MS Windows Server, Office 365, Windows 11 and all-new computers for at least another 4 years.
Problem is it's a very stretchy goal, not a direct order. So the "Behördenfilz" doesn't move an inch until something breaks.

@Natanox You are right because I agree with your second point, but my first toot was a "GIMP is shit" post and you took it very literally.
Public institutions should prioritise use of and help promote use of open source software and 'GIMP is shit' can both be true at the same time.
🙃
@matt If that was your opinion all the time you shouldn't reply with something among the lines of "Nobody uses GIMP, it's shit" to a demand for public promotion then. If you didn't mean it that way make that clear, with /s or something. Now you just appear disingenious.
@Natanox But I really think GIMP is shit. 
So it wasn't sarcasm.
I agree it needs investment, it needs to be better, it needs a good UX designer to work on it.
@matt You really don't get it, oh my god…
By replying to that other post you IMPLICITLY ARGUED AGAINST PROMOTION.
That's the god damn point I'm trying to tell you the whole god damn time.

@Natanox @matt
@coq @grayrattus @matt This. I know how PS works as well, but it really isn't easy to adapt to GIMP. The control schemes and some concepts are just too different. Companies buying into our schools is the biggest disaster of it all regarding this topic.
@Natanox @coq @matt yeah but like with all similar tools. Layers, masks, algorithms over pixels, transform tools, brushes. Everything else is sadly program specific 
Still if you are a good designer or digital artist tools do not matter much. At least thats what I noticed after learning a bit about art.
@grayrattus @coq @matt Of course the concepts are pretty much the same, that's not the issue though. It's more a career & company problem. If you've learned Photoshop and that's what you can interact with it's also what's in your resume, and if everyone learns it companies start expecting it as baseline. Additionally relearning to sth. else takes time and causes your productivity to temporarily tank, which is costly for companies. Also it can't be done bit-by-bit (incompatible project formats).
I have an idea that would be fitting. But that symbol is not yet allowed in germany again. How to submit without legal problems? ;)
(Edit: Since some people dont understand sarcasm, I'll explain. I am suggesting the EU should use explicit symbols to reveal the inhuman and incresingly racist stance of their member states. I am of the opposite extreme. My symbols would be red star or hammer and sickle.)

I'd rather have European icons like Sofia Corradi, inventor of Erasmus, over the 50th iteration of a bird on a tenner, like Qatar, Australia, Canada, Argentina, Gambia, Honduras, New Zealand, literally half the planet has a boring bird/nature design. We could have 🇪🇺 icons instead:
Sophie Scholl, Magda Klompé, Simone Veil, Sofia Corradi.
How about Borders and Walls in different ages instead of bridges?
Why? In our country, the Netherlands, you can hardly pay with real money.
make a euro with Trump on it, a bunch of gas pipelines in a burnt landscape, also don't forget to add some dead Palestinians. That pretty much sums up what Europe stands for.
please, no 'Boaty McBoatfaces', be better.
thanks for asking, but...
THIS IS WHERE YOUR FOCUS IS RIGHT NOW?
You want a new design for your money?
How much will this "unasked for update" cost us (again)?

Now, this is me nagging and I am honest about it.
Not only had the Dutch the only currency that never experienced a hyper-inflation together with the Swiss frank. Not only did they had the oldest currency still running in the world, but they also boasted the most colourful most beautiful designs for their money too.
That all was lost when the Euro came.

I liked the bridges, was a bit annoying that only one country decided to actually build all of them as an art project. Would have been fun if multiple/all did that and the answer for "where is this bridge" was "all over Europe".

@haui @mks_h Bro, Dude, my guy. The EU countries are literally applying the most pressure in Israel for what they do in Gaza together with Canada in comparison. Not enough, absolutely not (and yes, of course there were a lot of historical mistakes). But you won't change that by painting them as mere culprits. And regarding humanitarian aid the EU was indeed always on the forefront.
There are many ways to vent or criticize the EU and help Gaza/Palestine, but what you do is just being an asshole.
I see you've given up on the fake bridges

When asking "AI" European culture described as a casual photo is apparently old car-less cities with a lot of people on the streets. And ngl, that is kinda fitting but maybe not that great for the euro bank notes...
The response for what it considers European food however doesn't make as much sense. It returns Lahmacun, Schnitzel, Döner, and Pizza. So their dataset may not be the best in that regard...

Should I eat it and jump to win11?
Really want an honest answer here and not a full blown Linux cult answer.
I'm a new dad (kid is 1.5months old) who used to game pretty hard and do music production in cakewalk and ableton, but the crotch goblin is getting in the way. With windows 10 support coming to an end, I'm faced with a choice to either jump on the Linux train or take the safe way out and eat win11. Please keep in mind that I run a super clean machine (no porn (that's what mobile is for) or tormenting or anything sketch) and have no intention of doing anything unclean. I have a lot of music prod data that I don't want fucked and a steam library that I want access to but don't really care about the data associated with them (saves, profiles...i could care less). So it's really my ableton and Cakewalk files I want to keep. There was a time I college 2010-2011 where I borrowed a CS majors Ubuntu laptop for a few months to just get work done (just webbrowsing and office app stuff). Shit was annoying and difficult to understand but I was able to make it work-ish.
I'm savvy enough where I can adult Lego a PC together but struggle when it comes to software and troubleshooting and really don't have the time for that stuff.
Basically, I'm not in the position right now to learn a distro and struggle around with all that crap and I need to keep my music shit. I also despise Microsoft and AI in general but I'm perfectly fine just eating it for simplicity. Is there a low effort Linux solution to my situation? Looking for automatic updates where I just click "express install i don't fucking care" and im not searching for drivers every day.
My build is basically what's shown below minus the SLI'd 1080s and with 32gbDDR4. Any upgrade apart from the gpu would essentially mean a wholesale at this point. I used the 2nd card to build my wife a pc since SLI is effectively useless now.
EDIT: Didn't notice your system specs at first. While it looks like your motherboard technically supports the TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11, it also looks like your processor might be too old to be supported by Windows 11. Check to be sure before going down the path below. You might only have an option of going to Linux in this case.
Unpopular opinion from a user who uses Linux as his daily driver for everything:
If you're using stuff like Cakewalk/Ableton and want to be able to do so again in the foreseeable future, stick with Windows. You said you're not super savvy at troubleshooting, so I wouldn't want to send you down the path of trying to get Windows software running on Linux through WINe because it's sometimes pretty finicky. Especially with a rugrat in the mix, you just don't have the time to be fucking with it.
Windows 11 Activation: massgrave.dev/ (In case you no longer have a free upgrade path)

How To Set Up Windows 11 Local Account: (to avoid having to use a Microsoft account to log in)
Also, I strongly suggest a clean wipe instead of upgrade, as the upgrade path leaves a lot of weird stray stuff that can be annoying. Back up everything that's important to you on an external drive (or really any drive except the one your OS lives on) and re-install the OS, set up a local account during install, use Massgrave to activate Windows, and then use the Debloater to get rid of bloat.

That's still asking for them to learn to use something entirely new that they might simply not have the time to learn about: Bottles. This person said they're not savvy at troubleshooting. The last thing they need to be confused about is even getting Bottles running and then installing Ableton.

Go with windows. Especially because of your abelton use, you will not be able to keep it. With steam if you play multiplayer competitive games then it won't work either on Linux.
normally id say "linux is free, there's no harm in giving it a go", but between your lack of free time, nvidia graphics card, dependence on proprietary software, and previous experience (and slight distain) for linux i'd say just go with win 11.
there may be a way to get your music software to work in linux, but youll likely need to mess around with wine configs and it may never actualoy work right.
if you are interested ever, fire up a vm and play around with linux to get comfortable with it. maybe when win11 reaches eol (or even before) you'll want to make the switch.
none of this is said to scare you away from linux. searching for drivers is rarely a thing in linux. there are built in tools in most distros to deal with graphics drivers, but apart from that, given the open source nature of linux, everything else is just handled by kernel modules and are basically seamless unless you have some weird proprietary hardware. linux is fairly easy to use these days, but there is quite a bit of a learning curve because it is a fundamentally different os than windows, and the way you solve problems is very different.

I've wanted to be able to spend the time to jump to Linux for a while but the sex trophy demands attention. Maybe when I can leave him alone without fear of strangling himself on a stray wife hair or less, i could look into it. I've also thought about just dropping another 2-3K on another future thinking machine and using my current for Linux experimentation. Maybe I start the crotch goblin on Linux with this machine after I buy new and transfer everything to a new one.

This is actually a pretty good idea considering your current specs may not actually be able to support Windows 11. It's a little unclear whether you'll be able to get it running because while your motherboard meets the TPM 2.0 requirement, your CPU is technically listed as not being supported.

It won't officially work, but it's not too hard to get it going. I just moved a similar box to 24H2 LTSC.
OP, you'll probably need to run "setup.exe /product server", or follow a recent guide. You'll also need to do this for every major upgrade (i.e. yearly)
I agree though with the plan to use this as a test ground. I also recently upgraded a Lubuntu system to similar specs, and it runs pretty smoothly. But learning Linux takes a lot of time they don't have.
Save your money. Kids are expensive. Dual boot or use a live ISO and toy around with Linux mint. Keep Windows 11. You got a lot on your plate. I loathe saying this but use windows for the important stuff and get your Linux thrill from a dual boot or side project. Linux can be full time but until you can jump all in you seem to want backup from others to tell you to go the sane/safe route for now.
Alternatively, consider the following:
- look around for a $50-100 used PC/mini-pc/laptop that someone is getting rid of because it won't run Win11
- install something easy like Mint on it and use that for day-to-day stuff like browsing and office-type stuff.
- unplug the music PC from the internet and keep DAW, games & win10 on it
- explore and learn the Linux stuff in a low-pressure way, at your own pace.
Could also just setup a bootable Linux USB and run his system from that
I ended up switching to Linux recently for same reasons, but my kids are older and i had time to nerd out and go full Archwiki. Ableton was one of the last holdouts that was keeping me from switching.... and I spent a good month dicking around with wine trying to get it to work. And I couldn't! I ended up selling my Ableton license and buying Bitwig, which is natively supported in Linux, and actually pretty amazing... (I don't expect you to switch, just telling my story. It has really fun modular synth-like interface, with all the other VST support and quite good out-of-the-box plugins etc.)
I also couldn't get Affinity Photo working in wine.... and gimp doesn't quite do it for me. So I'm not sure what to do there, so my photo editing hobby is on hold til I figure that out.
That said, some of my other windows stuff works magically in wine (sierrachart, games, etc.).
So with all that in mind, I'd say if you don't have time to figure it out, and still want ableton to work, it might not be worth the mental load until you have more time on your hands. Unless you have an old laptop lying around, it wouldn't hurt to just try it and see what you can get working.

I do physical synths / drum machine as well, in fact I basically use a daw as a mixer with effects 😀 The latency is good, and I don't have the newest machine or anything. On Linux it's super easy to combine interfaces too, like I have my tr-8 (drums) as a multitrack USB interface, and an 8i6 for my synths, and it combines them way easier than I could do in windows!
Take with a grain of salt as I'm an amateur, but for my purposes it's been great so far.

So, the questions really are can your hardware support Windows 11 and if not can you easily flip to Linux.
- The Asus Z170 motherboard looks like it supports TPM 2.0, but it doesn't look like the i7-6700K does as that is a 6th gen Skylake CPU and Win11 starts at 8th gen. You might double check that with the TDM tool Microsoft offers though.
- Cakewalk and Ableton appear to work in Linux, but not without some tweaking.
My suggestion would be to do nothing. If you can't update without a rebuild and you can't migrate without a lot work, just do nothing. Your Windows 10 installation will still work. You won't receive any additional updates for it, but if that is the best solution for you at this time, then that's what you should go with.
For the kiddo:
Get a body wrap. It lets you because hold the baby to you securely while you do other things. I worked on-call shifts handling downed MPLS circuits for a carrier back in the day with my daughter strapped to me. A couple years later she would get to visit me at work. She was the only 2 year old who technically had PBX configuration experience (I didn't know the keyboard was still connected).

You don't have to upgrade to 11 for at least a year or longer. Register a free MS account for your win 10 and you get free patches for Win 10 for a year. Otherwise it's $30.

Microsoft Is Giving Windows 10 Users Free Security Updates for a Year, but There's a Catch
Not ready to move on to Windows 11? You can pay for another year of Windows 10 security updates, or you can take advantage of this free option.Joe Hindy (CNET)
Linux for gaming is easy. For the most part it’s plug and play. I’m on an AMD CPU and an NVidia GPU, and I even do VR in Linux.
As someone who does a decent amount of stuff with DAWs; VSTs are tricky. You might be able to create a similar workflow to what your used to, and many plugins might work decently well, but for me at least it was a lot of fiddling about and it isn’t as smooth as I’d like. My comfort compressor works, but the UI doesn’t render.
I’ve gotten my music workflow to work alright, but it’s wonky enough that I don’t do it as much anymore. Thinking about trying to start over with a new DAW and whatnot.
If privacy is a concern there’s a decent amount of stuff you can do to strip down Windows 11.
What screws me is the DRM iLock software. I've tried running Reaper in Wine/Bottles but the playback with guitar is no longer realtime due to the emulation/translation going on.
I just switched to an AxeFx FM9 so I don't need realtime playback as much but I can't use any of my Neural DSP plugins.
Let me know if you've found workarounds.
Yabridge might help for the plugins, it's kinda hit and miss though.
As most people suggest, I'd also recommend going with Windows 11 for this use case, but with the caveat that you should get a Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC license if you can find it.
It's the best version of the OS. It only pushes security updates, no new features ( this means xbox and candy crush won't magically show up in your start menu after major updates) and it comes with all the AI and Microsoft Store stuff stripped out.
Theoretically, this OS was designed for things like kiosk computers and control systems that need to maintain a stable environment, but it can do everything the pro version does with no hassle.
The downside is that it's hard to find. Microsoft won't sell it outside of volume license keys under enterprise agreements, but it is available through grey-market key sellers, and can be activated using the MAS if the high seas are an option.

Add another SSD and dual boot. Keep the windows 10 install for the audio software and use Linux for everything else. Nvidia cards will work in Linux, you just have to install the driver. That's just a couple of clicks in many distros. I would suggest sticking with a distro that uses X11 since Wayland can still cause some issues with Nvidia GPUs.
Microsoft are charging a yearly fee to continue getting security updates for Win10 after EOL.
Id recommend mint, but ableton I have no idea. If you want to bite a different bullet if you go with linux, buy bitwig instead - its very, very much like ableton in the sense that you can map pretty much any parameter to any other parameter and I have enjoyed it a lot. super modern interface as well.

You basically answered your own question, to be honest. Linux is clearly not for you. Look into windows 10 LTSC. Teksyndicate made a couple of videos about it. Here is the one where he shows how to install it. He is also stuck on windows because of music. And for debloating windows 10, look into Chris Titus' Windows Utility script
Are you intent on ableton and cakewalk (holy shit I haven’t heard cake walk in a minute)?
For ableton, I’d even consider Mac.
I have never personally used ableton and I was not very advanced with FL studio, but at least LMMS seemed to be FL studio like .
Cakewalk is what i learned on. It's a dumpster but it's my dumpster. Ableton is what my buddy and I decided to move to because he's on mac and it works for both of us.
There are different DAW's if you're open to it on linux. You'd (probably) lose your ability to edit your existing files, but you could also dual boot for that
It all boils down to how willing you are to troubleshoot an odd problem or post on a linux nerd forum. I transitioned from win10 to fedora KDE pretty painlessly, though I did have to hit up the fedora forum for an answer to a weird hardware issue specific to my machine. Learning to use the command line for doing a few weird customizations I wanted was a bit of a stumble too (though I've heard from my mint using buddy this isn't an issue on Mint?)
My steam library works fine with the default proton option enabled and my day to day experience has me forgetting that I'm even on a weirdo operating system made by FOSS cultists (love you foss cultists, mwah.) I literally do just press a button every couple of weeks that updates the system in the way that you're looking for.

If you're not in a position to change your workflow and deal with new stuff, you can simply use windows 10 lts for a longer support and postpone the decision between linux and windows 11.
Personally, I'd recommend trying linux some day. It can drain some free time at first, but in the long run, you will find yourself dealing with much less bullshit than windows, and actually saving time in your life. Some linux users like to make things complicated and pass their time tinkering with the system, so it passes an image of linux being like that, but if you run a simple and stable distro, things will work nicely and will rarely require your time. I'm running fedora for a few years, and my laptop became so boring. I just use it for my work and hobbies, and turn it off when done. No bullshit.
The kid is 1.5 months old and you don't have time? Once that kid gets mobile you'll really not have time! And I don't mean crawling or walking, I mean rolling and scooting.
When my kid figured out how to get places by rolling I had gotten up with her early on a Saturday morning and was letting my wife sleep in... I went to the basement and turned on the Xbox to pay some Rocket League and in the middle of a game she started to roll out of the room. I put the controller down and went to pick her up... 4 years later that controller was exactly where I had put it. She's now almost 9 and is a great gaming partner, and is getting into robotics, 3D printing, and is interested in programming, so I get to jump right back into my old hobbies, and pick up some new ones.
All that to say, Linux is only going to get better and Windows will continue to get worse, but there's more important things for you to have to worry about in the very near future than troubleshooting an OS that you're not familiar with, stick with Win 10 for as long as you can and some day you'll sit down at your desk and realize you have time to look back in at Linux and you'll find that it isn't nearly as difficult to use as you remember. Congratulations on the kid, it can be an incredible journey watching, and helping, a person emerge.
Running daws on linux is bad. Just go to win 11
2 kids here.
Avoid any challenges until you can handle the most important one. Just come back when he's 1 y/o.
I now game with them on my Bazzite Linux desktop PC and our Steam Deck. Kids love it.

Dad of 4 kids here, I would say use the system that let you concentrate more on the kid and less on tinkering the OS.
Fedora could be a nice successor since it runs extremely stable, best way to be clean and safe are doing the updates, but I say this with 15 years of Linux experience.
Better stay on win 10. Family first.
Dad of 4 kids here, I would say use the system that let you concentrate more on the kid and less on tinkering the OS.
Dad of 3 here with 20something years on Linux already. This is the correct answer. Just go for win11 if that's the simplest route for you, Linux will be there once you have the capacity to learn it. With a new baby you'll be exhausted, you have a crapload (sometimes quite literally) new things to learn already and you just won't have the time to do all the things you used to (as you already know). Making things more challenging for you by switching to something completely new just eats the very little time you have for yourself.
My work laptop has 11 running on it and it's good enough. OS on that thing is not my call anyways, but at least on my workload it gets the job done.
not a dad, signed in just to upvote
Your lack of time is the biggest issue, followed by your music needs (which are not impossible but I also know its not plug and play).
I would recommend going with win11 for simplicity and times sake. I would also recommend at least trying out ameliorated windows11.
ameliorated.io/
Basically their stock run book makes the OS far more secure and private by setting up an admin account and then making your account a standard user (the way it should be done). Then it strips out all the bloat, restricts services, and installs open source alternatives like libre office and libre wolf. It also drastically changes the UI, which most of it I like and some is meh, but its all much better than the crap stock UI.
I run this as a VM for all the stuff I still need windows for and I love it. Nothings ever going to make windows not windows, but this is pretty close and a simple click install. I highly recommend it.
Ameliorated
Completely transform your computer in minutes. Simply download a verified Playbook, or use your own, and run it in AME Wizard.ameliorated.io
How safe is this to run on an existing Windows install, without going through a VM? I’d love to run this on my home machine.
I'm not sure I can answer that in detail. Also, "safe" is kind of vague so I'm not sure what your threat model is.
But I will say that I would 100% be running it as my home windows if I wasn't using Linux. Do I think it's the equivalent? No. Do I think there's a possibility of Microsoft turning things back on with updates? Yes. But its far easier than running O&O and a bunch of power shell scripts to try to remove bloat and telemetry hoping you got everything. I have no complaints.
I'd say look after your kid and try out Linux a bit later when you have Leisure for it. You can use Linux and Windows in parallel on two computers networked with Samba.
Some things designed for Windows just don't work on Linux, Windows LTSC is a great choice for those situations. Some people have had better experiences, but debloating scripts have always been finicky and fragile for me. LTSC comes out of the box without the usual crap and there's no risk of it all coming back after an update.
You can grab a copy of LTSC 2021 and activation if needed, which will come with the Windows 10 UI and updates until 2032.
A lot of Linux distros are set it and forget it these days. Nvidia can be finicky though, so i suggest a distro that installs proprietary nvidia drivers for you—I think Linux Mint and Bazzite do that, though I'm not personally familiar with either.
The other thing is music prod which I am not familiar with. I've heard that there's a lack of Linux software for music prod but hopefully some other users who know more can explain what the situation is like on Linux these days.
Steam won't pose a problem. Steam does something called Proton, a compatibility layer allowing Linux users to run Windows game, and the vast majority of Windows games run flawlessly with Proton. Similarly, you shouldn't have to worry about losing saves, as Steam Cloud should save and transfer them all automatically.
I recently sucked it up and upgraded Windows 10 to 11. Music production is getting better in Linux, but there is still a whole lot of existing music software with no Linux support. Cakewalk for example has no Linux support, and I imagine getting it working in WINE with VSTs and whatever else would be an immense chore. Same story with Ableton.
That said, if you don't mind migrating to a DAW with Linux support like Reaper, Bitwig, or even Ardour - which is open source and free - producing music with Linux is the easiest it's ever been. Just don't count on Linux support from a lot of VST makers who often require you use their software to install their VSTs. You can usually still install those VSTs, but it sometimes requires less than legal methods, and may be a hassle.
If you're a producer who mostly just uses a DAW as a recorder for hardware, it would barely be a change to your workflow at all. If you are reliant on Cakewalk and Ableton specific processes and VSTs, it would be much more difficult
Rather than leave another long reply to read, I'll leave my thoughts simple: if you have another computer you're not using, try Linux mint and see if it fits your needs. If it's too much and you can't get the time needed to figure things out, 11 might be the choice (for now).
But either way, keep Linux on the second and learn a little bit as you get time to! 😀
Only get the odd releases.
No. Don't do it.
You're not experienced enough to install and maintain a Linux installation. Fuck those who says "Bite the bullet and just install Debian! It will never crash!" They won't fix it for you when it does.
You don't have anyone who's supporting you physically. They are not a phone call away. They are ten forum replies away and won't be there when you need them.
Windows 10 is no longer supported, but no one is forcing you to either uninstall or upgrade. You can keep running it if you don't care about potential security problems.
Windows 11 is bad, but not as bad as you accidentally sudo removed /etc/fstab in Debian. Between bad and unusable, ask yourself which one you want less. This is assuming you spent your whole life using Windows and less likely make major mistakes.
You can schedule your migration to Linux in the future though. Just build a second machine. You must have the money to build a second one. Don't fuck with your production build.
Windows 10 is no longer supported
That's, not actually true at all? The original end of support date is Oct 14 this year, but it's trivially easy to get extended support until Oct 13 next year.
Whatever you do, don't switch to the react start menu OS.
Stay on win10 with an ltsc version, or don't. Get a second SSD or your crotch goblins mom's laptop that you install Fedora, LMDE or another "easy" distro on to experiment with. Either way, you are not in a rush. Win10 support ending is not as imminent.
Honestly, at 1.5 months it's hard. Really hard. But once you get the pattern down and sleep schedule starts stabilizing, say 4-6 months in, it may be your most productive time when you know the kid is asleep for the next few hours.
This is how I've learned to solder and build mechanical keyboards during the first kid hitting that age# and ditched ms shit for Linux during the second. There's always other challenges, but not having to deal with a user hostile OS reduces stress tremendously.

I would say the biggest problem is the music production on Linux. Especially VSTs - those are still hit or miss. And unfortunately the DAWs you mentioned doesn't have Linux support.
For example I was really trying to do music for several years on Linux, but in the end I gave up and now I'm dual booting Windows... 😿
Vst works fine with bitwig and yabridge I am not music producing but of curioosity I was trying to make this things works,even cracked paid big one part of plugins I maid to work
It works fine until it doesn't ... Some of the plugins were working fine but for example Line 6 Helix Native doesn't... Also Yabridge stopped working for me few months ago because the developer didn't have time to update some dependencies. 🤷🏻♂️
Your easiest way is to upgrade windows normally and if you dislike all it's bloated software, just install Atlas OS on top of it.
It's just a software that will go through your windows and debloat it as much as possible. Simple as that.
Easier done than reinstalling windows for an LTSC version.
I personally have a dual boot with a win 11 with Atlas OS specifically for the software I can't install on Linux.

Ima say something controversial but, a stripped down Win 11 is perfectly fine. I’ve been using various Linux distros now for a good while and there’s still something just not quite right for non-enthusiasts.
So the simplest way to score a light 11 is making an ISOQ with the official tool, or rufus. Then use the unattended script to rip out everything pre/during install.
The next level up is using something like AtlasOS playbook with WindowsAME tool to rip everything out post-install.
Or you can completely customise your own ISO with (I presume it exists still, nlite or similar).
Or start with the LTSC/IoT offerings.
I really hope Microsoft release their Xbox variant for general install and not just handhelds.
bro just grab a cheap ssd and enclosure, install linux on that, slowly play around and setitup, if you like it eventually swap ssds or install it on your main one
I went through the hassle of dualbooting and accessing my drive through linux (not that much hassle but as a beginner it was), ended up uninstalling windows, but i had time to tinker, which is key to making me like it, I was okay with not having a usable pc and I learned what I needed/wanted as substitutes. If you don't have time experiment on a side device or using an ssd, they are fairly cheap now, you could even use a cheap fast usb if you don't mind it shitting the bed eventually.
damn could usbs be used as disposable os, i guess thats why tails is used that way, since its bad for the usb to use it that way, they are getting pretty cheap for the fast ones, idk why youd need a dispoable os you could lose at any second tho, maybe if it was very connected to a cloud service
Yes but don't use it for anything valuable. USBs have a high failure rate when used for heavy read writes.
You can get USB enclosures for M2 drives if you want to go that route a bit more reliably. Ensure you use USB3 (which will still be slow but not as boneachingly bad as USB2)
I think you could still use that music software on Windows 10. I'm not sure when they'll cut off support for outdated operating systems but I don't think many would jump ahead of Microsoft. Windows 10 being unsupported doesn't mean that much if the software you use is trusted and you have a disaster recovery plan.
It's important to have a solid backup policy in place for any data you don't want to lose. Regardless of whether you're on Windows 11 or Windows XP. If you want to keep using Windows 10, you can. Just gotta only install trusted software and use a browser that is getting security updates for Windows 10 (so not Edge, don't know which others will be fine). You can watch porn on it too, porn sites are only as dangerous as your browser is insecure.
Now, the question of gaming. Dual-booting into Bazzite should meet your needs (I've never used it) but the question is how to keep it away from Windows 10. I live booted into a system with Windows 11 installed and could easily view and modify all the contents. Any malware that gets through Steam's and Linux's protections could easily install ransomware and cookie-stealers on Windows 11. This is true just as much for running the games natively on Windows 11.
Seperate devices would solve the issue, but that'd be a waste. Security in computing really needs SO much work. There are so many levels to this. If your security posture is relaxed enough you can just hope no malware gets through Steam's checks and onto Bazzite, or into any of Bazzite's dependencies. With meltdown and spectre I'm failing to imagine how I could keep Windows 10 or 11 safe from malware from gaming beyond Steam's protections.
TLDR: Stick to Windows 10, install trusted software only and keep backups, dual-boot Bazzite for games, hope Steam catches any game malware I guess.

Kick the can down the road and download the MASgrave Win10 script (I think that's it, I don't use windows) that puts you on the Long Term support - iirc that gives you until Jan 2027. That's enough time to get through the zero parental sleep phase and be able to think clearly...
If that's of interest I'll dig the correct details out (ping me) or I'm sure someone else knows what I'm waffling about & will drop the link
Ableton and Cakewalk only work with Windows. Unless you have two PCs (one normal PC with Linux, and one workstation for audio-only, without access to the internet with Win10), then it's best to get a Win11 PC/solution.
From what I've heard of seen in the Linux community music production on Linux is not easy. There is a fair amount of tweaking to get audio working and connecting instruments.
Really want an honest answer here and not a full blown Linux cult answer.
And so you ask in a linux community...
Not all of us have been absorbed yet. I've used Linux in passing for years, but only now have tried just diving on outright. Previously my issues were RAM leaks, having to run commands on a laptop on every startup just to initiate wifi, and WINE performance. The former seem to be fixed, the latter seems to be about 89% there with Proton (I even use it for nongaming). Lutris drove me nuts, so Ijust use Steam to do the hard lifting.

Tldr, I recommend sticking with Windows or using two separate machines, one for music production running Windows, the other for running everything else with Linux.
Music production isnt great on Linux in my experience at least right now. If you use any paid plugins that are windows only, there's a good chance they won't run. I haven't used ableton or cakewalk but I use reaper which has a native Linux version, and even that had a lot of issues. Anything with ilok is a no go, even plugins that dont, I had a hard time getting working or if they did work, they crashed A LOT.
Gaming and other general use has been fine for me, ive even done video and photo editing on Linux and been happy with it.
If you want the easiest experience, I typically recommend Fedora KDE spin or kubuntu. KDE is a desktop environment that is very similar to windows and highly customizable. You'd likely feel at home on it. Immutable distro might also be a good option if you really want the "IDC just do the update" path. Harder to break, easier to manage from what ive heard but I haven't used them personally so maybe others that have can chime in.
I made a windows only box for music production and use Linux on my main PC. It runs windows 10 and is rarely connected to the internet except when I need it to be. If you wanna run Linux and make music, it can be done, but I had a terrible time with it and have given up for now.
So make a separate machine for music production and run Linux on your main pc or just run Windows is my advice. So far, this has been the best setup for me. I don't worry about my privacy, I can make music when I want, and I don't have to worry about incompatible plugins, crashes, stupid nonsense that gets in my way when i wanna make music.
Hello fellow reaper user. What do you think about sharing some Linux friendly plugins, what are your gotos?
I don't have many Linux friendly plugins that i can share unfortunately. When I tried running reaper on Linux, most things I tried either didn't run at all or crashed.
Best I had working was decent sampler. And even that didn't work great for me:
decentsamples.com/product/dece…
Really cool project though, and lots of fun instruments to try on pianobook.
Decent Sampler Plugin [FREE] - decent|SAMPLES
A FREE sampling plugin that allows you to play samples in the Decent Sampler format. Available in VST, VST3, AU, AAX, and Standalone for Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS.Decent Samples
Thanks, I'll try decent samples.
As exchange, here my effects and instruments, which I selected for working good with Linux and Windows
effects
- TS overdrive
- TAL reverb
- Room reverb
- Mfm2 from u-he (they are the goat in my opinion)
- gdelay
- Flying delay

I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.
My point is that it's not a big decision/commitment. And it's trivial to undo!
Why not just fedora? All these Immutable distros seem like adding even more layers of confusing to someone new.
I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.
Maybe you are right. But I have seen users say it is harder to set up and then the behaviors of flatpaks can be challenging. I have had issues, and I know what I am doing.
Kick the can down the road. massgrave.dev/windows10_eol
Windows 10 Updates After End-Of-Life | MAS
This document explains how users can receive official updates after the retirement date of Windows 10 on October 14, 2025.massgrave.dev
Probably the best choice if OP is dreading 11. Put it off, hope that in 3 years Linux support has matured even more for their use cases.
MS support has used this software themselves in an edge case where they couldn't get Windows to active properly.
You have two options here:
1) Enable the extended support (no pay needed with this software but if OP absolutely refuses to run it they can pay Microsoft money directly though it takes work to find where to do that at) and run on that for 3 years until 2028.
2) Upgrade to LTSC IOT using the method they outline at the link there. Again they have two options, one is free, the other is following that guide but paying for a gray-market key (G2a for instance) for LTSC IOT which would avoid running this software on their PC but would mean paying someone some money for a corporate volume key they're not technically allowed to sell. Which means support until 2032.
Hey there!
I'm an avid music producer and gamer.
I made the jump to bitwig while I was still using Windows in 2019, and made the full jump to Linux as my daily driver late last year.
My mint journey was Mint (Cinnamon) > Debian (KDE Plasma) > Garuda (Dr4g0niz3d KDE plasma)
I think mint was great and I was still able to do a fair amount of gaming on it and Cinnamon desktop environment is very similar to windows so it's not too big of a jump.
Debian was fine - I wanted to use Plasma as the desktop environment because I wanted a touch customization for how I can set up windows, widgets, and different desktop panels. I had issues with some games on this though.7
I like Garuda but I would not recommend if you're not too familiar with tinkering and troubleshooting. In hindsight I probably should have gone with Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE plasma as its desktop environment). I have experienced some odd bugs with the desktop environment and I think it has to do with how nvidia and Wayland play with one another.
I haven't had a game that didn't run, the only odd bug I've had is some games won't recognize my new soundcard from bitwig.
using WINE and yabridge I've gotten all my plugins to work seamlessly as well - and that includes Omnisphere which is a beast on resources.
I was really fed up with the direction that windows has been heading for quite sometime.
TL;DR: I think mint or some Ubuntu distro would be a good fit for right now, and any future GPU upgrades consider something from AMD.
Go ahead and update to the newest spyware. 🤷♂️
Debian 13 comes out in a week or so. I have 1 fewer corporation spying on me.
Stay on win10, if so the choice comes. Just get it debloated and maybe a better protection. If you are sure, get mint or other stable distribution, which I would recommend if you can have some spare time to figure out your setup. Most of the stuff should work out of the box
If you're going to have to change OS anyway you might as well try Linux first. I'm doing a trial run on Bazzite and so far has gone pretty smoothly with the gaming stuff. There's other stuff I'm having to figure out but I'm pretty optimistic that I will not be putting Win 11 on my desktop.
I kept my ref # for 11, but yeah, Bazzite so far suits my needs. Just now really getting used to Linux, and learning as I go. OMV on an old machine for my NAS confuses me more admittedly. Only thing frustrating with Bazzite so far is the locked os. I would like to modify the menu scripts to include peazip options and extraction to Desktop as a menu item, but I can work around that and do things the longer way. Simple things though are pretty easy. Also sucks that I can't get Doom Eternal to work on steamlink, but it's of secondary use anyway. Bazzite is faster, no errors so far unless it's something I tried to do to it. No RAM leaks like I experienced many moons ago with Xubuntu either (like 2015). I think it's quite viable as an alternative now (especially since MS has lowered the bar so far)
Yeah so far the only weird issue I've had has been some apps will not open files from my file server when I click on the files in the file explorer. I can open them through the file>open function in the app but not the usual way I would do it. It's something about the way the app is handling the smb:\ path. I found a github page with a suggested fix but haven't had time to read through and parse what it is actually doing. That's the only issue so far I was really annoyed by as IMO that's something that should "just work". As you said considering the pace windows is enshittifiying the Linux option becomes more viable every day, even if they don't improve.
I'd try removing the share and readding it, make sure to select the remember checkbox. Then add to Places for the shortcut. Only prob I have with Folphin is extracting from shares (hence Peazip), but the workaround is to open via PZ, then extract within the app (would be great to have access to that menu to have another rightclick extract option for PZ to be fast, but meh, not too important.
The problem will likely be the warped perception of "low effort" users like you have, that I went in detail on here
This is indicated by phrases like these:
struggle around with all that crap and I need to keep my music shit
Which translate to me as "I don't want to learn or change a thing, so tell me how I change the most fundamental part of my computing without doing that".
As I wrote in the comment linked above, with an attitude like that you'd have a significantly harder time than some non-techy person who just wants to have a system that "just works" without preconceptions, not bother with the technical details, but is entirely open to using new programs and doing things differently, as long as they work reliably.
In your case, I'd say stick to Microsoft until you get your mindset and priorities straight. Because then you'd have an easy time without much tinkering at all. But as it stands I think you'd be setting yourself up for misery and failure.

With windows 10 support coming to an end, I'm faced with a choice to either jump on the Linux train or take the safe way out and eat win11
Why do I keep seeing this fallacy everywhere?
Are you shilling for Microsoft?
Just keep using 10. Need support? There are literally millions of support posts on various sites and forums. Just google the issue.
And if the issue is a vulnerability due to lack of security updates?
Unplug from the internet
I mean, that's definitely a solution
Vulnerable to what? A link you clicked on?
... so stop clicking on suspicious links?
spoken like somebody who doesn't know a thing about security.
Windows 10 is going to be compromised the second it goes end-of-life. There are cybercriminals who've been sitting on exploits, potentially for the entire Windows 10 lifecycle, but at the very least for the past year or two. The second Microsoft will no longer commit to patching those, they'll pounce.
Connecting any operating system to the internet after it goes EoL is just asking for trouble.
... just stop clicking on scam links
You can do Linux if your situation meets these criteria:
- your hardware is supported. it likely is, but check. Usually running a live usb is sufficient.
- The proprietary software you want to run is supported in some stable way - like, platinum steam support, or the developer supports and intends to continue supporting Linux. do dual boot temporarily and make absolutely sure.
- you are psychologically capable of declining to try to fix everything. While Linux just works for me, I've learned to recognize escalating effort in getting some new cool piece of software or hardware to work. wait until what you want is at least in beta. aside from that, it's just not supported. Don't frozzle the frimfram as /u/linuxminordeity told you to, because after that, you'll have to bidnap the uperpon. ..and on and on. just accept that people are working on it and it's not ready. contribute somehow, if you feel like it. but accept. If it can't be installed through typical channels (website package for linux, the repositories, or flatpak) it just doesn't work.
tbh, it sounds like you don't want to have to think about and test it. ..and if that's true, then you shouldn't be switching operating systems if you can reasonably avoid it.
Man, you're basically saying "I want to move to a new country, but I don't want to lose any of my friends, I can't change my job, I don't want to learn a new language, I want to bring all my furniture and appliances with me, and we just had a new baby a month ago so I'm sleep deprived and don't have any spare time. How do I do it?"
Are you actually forced to move away from your Windows 10? You could just keep using it. Fuck Microsoft and its lack of support. If it works why change it?
Windows 10 frequently nags you to update to 11. The nags are very intrusive and annoying!
There's no reason to hope that you can change to a new operating system and you can copy paste exactly what you did in the other, completely different operating system. However that doesn't mean its hard. There are distros that make it really easy to transition too. I had a really easy moving over, but I was fine with adapting to new workflows and software and OS.
I run Linux while having 3 kids, my fiancee, a full time job that has a lot of OT, family health issues I have to support etc. Life is always busy and will always be busy. I pace myself with what I want to learn based on how busy my life is at that time. Not pacing I would burn out. I advise the same.
I also think being pissed off at Microsoft isn't enough to get into Linux for the long term. Its enough to just start. You need to be able to want to learn something new because if you make the switch, run into an issue with some distro, can't get past it, you'll end up right back where you left off.
Best of luck either way. Definitely do your research first and follow good rules for backing up your data.
It sounds like you’re really sensitive to workflow disruption at this time in your life. You can’t change from Windows to Linux without some pretty hefty disruptions, same as if you chose to go from Windows to Mac. If you really don’t feel like you have the personal bandwidth to deal with the workflow disruptions and learning curve, you should go with Windows 11. If you hate it, it’s not like Linux won’t still be there for you to investigate later when your life calms down.
I'm savvy enough where I can adult Lego a PC together but struggle when it comes to software and troubleshooting and really don't have the time for that stuff.
Then Linux is not for you; it is nothing but troubleshooting.
If you have to use Windows, get the LTSC IOT edition. It's official and it has none of the crap people complain about in 11 (copilot, onedrive, recall, etc.). I've had no problems gaming on it, either.
I don't have time for troubleshooting. I just want an OS that runs, does what I need it to do, and stays out of my way. For the last 3 years, Linux has done that for me where Windows wouldn't.
If you move to Linux, you gotta be committed. I didn't learn Linux until I said "fuck it" and forced myself to use it exclusively.
You will run into problems. You'll have some days where you'll spend 10hrs fixing something that no other person on the entire planet has encountered before, only to realize you needed to type in 1 very simple command to fix it.
As much as people hate AI, it can help with Linux troubleshooting. There's also wikis and manpages.
If you switch at all, pick something that won't break. Debian will run on your hardware just fine. You won't have the latest and greatest packages, and as a newbie you DO NOT WANT the latest and greatest.
Nvidia drivers are a hassle, be prepared.
If all that sounds doable, send it.
I don't know what all these doomsayers are doing. I installed Bazzite and it just worked. I decided I didn't want an immutable system so I switched to Garuda, and it just worked. I have Nvidia and didn't have to do anything extra.
Here's a dad's reply in a similar place - Win 11 is fine. I put it off for a very long time and just upgraded a couple weeks ago. It hasn't really been an impact.
Is Linux better? Yes. Does win 11 just work without too much fuss? Yes.
I still have Linux on many machines in my house except for my gaming rig, just because I don't want to have to break it and spend time refreshing it because my Linux skills aren't up to par. I have a full time job and young kids and don't have as much tinkering time as I used to.
That being said, I'm migrating ALL machines that aren't compatible with win 11 to Linux to avoid tossing them in a landfill like many will do, like my son's gaming PC.
If you want to dip your feet in without making any permanent decisions, try using a virtual machine or a live USB.
The virtual machine is effectively no risk but slightly slower. The live USB gives you a more realistic experience (except for boot times) but it is possible to erase your data if you miss the several warning messages and press the "I know what I'm doing, proceed anyway" button.
If you feel like Linux could work but you're not ready to fully commit, you can dualboot. I had both Windows and Linux for 2-3 years before I was comfortable enough to not boot Windows.
My personal preference is Linux Mint because it looks and feels very similar to Windows (I'm currently running LMDE). Any distro with KDE should also feel fairly familiar.
Bazzite is more designed around gaming, but should still be adequate for most of your needs. It does have the reputation of being unbreakable.
No idea about Cakewalk etc but your Steam games will almost all be fine and Linux is honestly great right now and always getting better.
Having used Linux Mint, Windows 10, and Windows 11, I can honestly say that Win10 is okay and Win11 is annoying dogshit. I'd recommend taking the Linux plunge of course, but if you're desperate for Windows I think paid extended support for 10 might be a thing?
But like I said 11 is dogshit and there's no time like the present to just grab 3-4 USB sticks at Microcenter, download a bunch of ISOs and Rufus or Balena Etcher, and just dick around. Linux Mint with Cinnamon or KDE will probably give you one of the slickest Windows-like experiences OOTB. Only recommendation: some wifi cards (with certain chips, I forget which) in my experience have required me to go hunt down a driver, so check reviews for any card you're looking at to see if people report it working out of the box.
Only recommendation: some wifi cards (with certain chips, I forget which) in my experience have required me to go hunt down a driver, so check reviews for any card you’re looking at to see if people report it working out of the box.
With Linux mint, with one machine, I had to explicitly open the driver manager and tell it to use the drivers for the wifi. It wasn't obvious but I'd read it on some random forum and remembered. Once I knew that was a thing, it was easy. Opened the driver manager, plugged in the install media (USB stick) when it asked, and then told it to use the proprietary drivers.
Zorin linux - the closest thing to Windows you'll get. Highly recommend. Installed it on several computers for family members who just want a computer that works.
I went the other way, just installed LMDE and it all
worked (AMD system) Then didn't use stuff that didn't work. Steam.worked but im not really gamer, the few non taxing games all worked no issues
Figured I'd get a handle and disto hop later but cant be ass'd, used to it now and 80% of what I wanted worked with zero issues from thebhet go, another 10% I evetually got around to tweaking and works no issues and the other 10%, fcuk 'em and their lack of Linux supoort.
18 months, all on, no dual boot etc

You have a 1.5 mo old. You don't have time. Be a dad. Be a husband. Be a hobbyist.
Take the easy route now. Come back when your kid and family are in a flow state.
I'm same boat and just want to say please come back. Dont leave your kids to the mercy of Microsoft Apple Google. Their learnings from your trials will help them grow. Be a dad, be a dad that helps your kids push past corporate ownership.
just buy an extra ssd (i'd recommend 200 gigs at least, but if you're gaming, obvs more space is needed), and install linux mint or pop os on it. imo pop is easier, but mint is more windows-like
set your bios to boot from the new ssd, and make sure you install everything on the same drive
and just keep the windows install, so if you need it or linux is too hard, you can go back easily
i think you have physical space for several more sata drives, so if you need even more space you can get a larger regular hdd, for linux stuff
fyi, while most games will happily run on linux, but you can't use the same steam library folder, i've tried lol, so take that into consideration (however other loaders, like heroic launcher and lutris can run stuff installed on a windows partition, as long as the prefix is on a linux one. technically i guess you could use drm free steam installs too, but i'm already getting into the weeds, for simplicity's sake, just use a separate drive)
you can use ntfs (windows) partitions, for example i use two for downloads, movies, music and other platform agnostic stuff
i'd be happy to help if you need it

I mean Windows 11 can do annoying things, but it's not gibberish. Reminds me of XP to Vista, but less about performance issues and more about incessant GUI tweaks no one asked for.
I'd say update it and make do, then move to Linux down the road if it annoys you enough to motivate that decision.
It's not all bad, I am enjoying the HDR features, which is the only reason I updated before the Win10 EOL.
That said, I do plan on making a Linux VM and playing around to get a feel for it.

For music production on a hobby level? Linux is not what you want.
The VST availability is abysmal. For a DAW, you can choose between Reaper and Ardour. Both are reasonably good, but without decent third party VSTs you’ll suffer. You won’t get iLok working, you won’t get any commercial plugins working. Your old project files won’t open.
Now, if you are exclusively working with Airwindows plugins (look it up!) in Reaper, you could get away with a Linux migration. Cakewalk and Ableton? Not a chance in hell.
Go buy a cheap used 16GB M1 Mac Mini. Music production stuff ”just works”. Given your config, looks like that could be within budget. Or upgrade your old machine to Windows 11, pick your poison.
"Basically, I’m not in the position right now to learn a distro and struggle around with all that crap and I need to keep my music shit."
If you don't want to have to learn anything new, then switching your OS to something you don't know how to use is a stupid idea.
Thanks for the tl;dr
Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but a $500 Mac mini would be a fantastic solution. That or an entry level MacBook Air.
I run Linux on my desktop for most things but all my music production is done on MacBooks. If you want a turn key solution, this is the way.
Every vst, midi device and mixing console I have just works. Well worth the sub $1000 investment.
Hell, my touring setup runs off a 8 year old MacBook Pro you could likely pick up for under $400.
I use Windows 11 for work and honestly don't know why so many folks complain about it. I like working in it better than 10.
The forced Microsoft login is absolutely a valid privacy concern - I get that. The copilot integration is annoying and not helpful but can be turned off. The general UI and compatibility is pretty good. I'd just go ahead and upgrade to 11.
I had my first kid a little over 2 years ago, and my interest in twiddling with my OS plummeted. I use Linux, and it's great for what I do, but I don't do any sound stuff. I bet you could do it but that there'd be a lot of twiddling with your OS.
Your win10 computer doesn't get nuked from orbit after magic date. Others pointed out music software is not portable enough.
I got a new win11 computer with space for linux. Can remote desktop (free options) into old computer. This is more convenient than dual booting. If you don't use internet or install new software, not much will break on it. My old computer didn't work for linux because of waking from sleep issues. My new computer is $450usd minipc 7840hs dual lan, 2 usb4 ports, that allows me to expand from 3 to 4 monitors with a desk edge portable touchscreen usb monitor. win11 is not that bad because it allows for a single task bar on the front monitor. The iGPU is a big upgrade over 1650super I had, and 32gb/1gb nvme is also an upgrade that gives me the room to install linux. I haven't yet.
Linux is pretty easy for software installs. Mint is a good choice, because google will have the most hits. There are some distros that come with closed GPU drivers, but that is not particularly difficult to do yourself. win11 on a new computer can be ok, though, but I have had issues with every monitor waking from sleep every time (unplug/replug solution), or sleep command not lasting more than 3 minutes. Boot time is much quicker on new computer though, so shutdown not as painful. But if sleep worked flawlessly on this one in linux, would be good reason to go with.
It’s 2025. Any internet connected machine on any EOL OS or without updates applied in a timely manner should get nuked from orbit.
And that goes for all Linux and Android users out there too. Update your bloody phones.
I have a Windows 10 machine with firewalls, updates and antivirus all turned off, for a single specific software. Works fine, and will keep working fine for a long time, but that installation will never again see a route to the internet.
that installation will never again see a route to the internet.
That's what I was suggesting for OP, other than perhaps a cakewalk/audio software update. Firewalled RD should be safe enough?
Depending on what plugins and software OP runs, that might not be possible or at least kinda annoying. The music production software industry loves to require phone home with regular intervals for licensing.
I notice there are only a couple replies here that have experience with music production. Obviously core desktop stuff works great, gaming is pretty universally fixed, but music production is a different story.
I have extensive experience with linux and music production. You can use yabridge to run Windows VSTs. However, they can be extremely fussy with graphics compatibility. I estimate that I couldn't manage to get about 20% of my plugins to work despite hours upon hours of troubleshooting. This is coming from a Linux-native software developer. If you're just learning Linux, you could be in a world of pain.
I'm sure folks out there have gotten all of it working individually, but I doubt anyone has your exact setup working perfectly.
Ableton and FL Studio will have to be ran through Wine. I experienced major performance issues with FL Studio before switching to Bitwig.
Linux is great. But the music production industry is not kind to it. If you're cool with being a linux music producer you'll have to accept that some things just will not work well. But if you want 100% access to everything you're used to, stick with Windows.

i would like to second this. though i’m not really experienced with it, creative work can be quite the pain in the butt from what i’ve been hearing.
for general usability and gaming it’s generally not really any more difficult than windows it feels like.
i would just always recommend to check whether the things you really need run on linux or have an equivalent.
this includes checking areweanticheatyet and protondb for the games you wanna play. some companies block linux in their games because some windows hackers exploit linux comparability… some other companies are stupid and think that a single player needs anticheat………..
also your choice of distro very much matters when it comes to how easily you get your things to work. for example i love bazzite for gaming, especially on laptops with igpu and nvidia, but it may not be the right choice for creative work, like i wont use it for my work related programming. there i use fedora KDE.

In short: I jumped on Mint some months ago and it just works.
The first time I jumped on Linux, I got burned haaard. I picked openSUSE, and I'm not sure if my hardware was crap or that distro is finicky, but nothing worked and it was just issue on issue on issue and I hated it.
Fast forward a couple years and Mint is nothing like that. It worked as it should out of the box and the only real tinkering I had to do was update the driver for my GPU manually because it was still so new.
Sure, some things work differently, but it's not too complicated to get into.
You can enable automatic software updates and configure the built-in backup program Timeshift, so you can revert the system to a previous snapshot if ever something should go real wrong.
But with all that said, I see that neither Cakewalk or Ableton are easy installs, as they're not officially supported on Linux. Will require some tinkering to get working. So maybe for that reason only Win11 would be the better choice. Or try dual booting to get a feel for it, best of both worlds.

I hope you mean torrenting and not tormenting 😸
Just install Linux on an external SSD and test it.
Autocorrect is OP. Thinking of going that route. I have a 2tb SSD I've been meaning to install for a while now
the crotch goblin
you’re disgusting
This is your own child you’re talking about.
Massive financial burden?
I use my desktop primarily to play online shooters, so I don't see Linux really being an option in the timeframe I have to decide. If Proton/Bazzite/whatever gets the anti-cheat shit for games like Call of Duty and Battlefield together by mid-October, I'll probably do an about face. But as of now, it just doesn't make sense to make it so I can't use an expensive thing for its intended purpose just to stick it to the man or whatever.
I started with a dual boot. Very easy to do, if you have two hard drives. I have landed on Bazzite because I just game and watch movies at home. It does those things very well.
I know it’s possible to run music production on Linux, in fact it’s better than ever.
But:
- OP explicitly asks for keeping his Cakewalk and Ableton files working.
- OP has a small child and just wants a working music production machine with minimal fuff and time investment.
- Like 95% of people doing any kind of music production (outside of our Linux bubble) will have an iLok licenced favourite plugin somewhere. Never seen a professional without several.
Please stop recommending Linux to people who aren’t ready for it yet. Find the people who are, get them over. The rest will follow.

Una cosa... tu come consiglieresti ad un artista che vuole tentare (di nuovo) di studiare il gestuale per le pose?
