On the whole, I believe Preparation H feels good…

Check out the Arch wiki page for Professional Audio, it’s got some great distro-agnostic tips for reducing latency.

I don’t, unfortunately, I’m a guitarist primarily. I did see some MIDI stuff in the menus though, so I think it’d be fine? I think it’d probably depend on drivers, so you’d probably have to check if your device has Linux support, if it’s not just taken care of by the generic drivers. You might ask on linuxmusicians.com, they’re a great resource!

For the music stuff, there’s also Bitwig and Ardour for good DAWs, Ardour’s free so that’s what I use. There’s yabridge for VSTs, though it’s hit and miss, and might be more tinkering than you want as you have to use an older version of wine. I’ve also heard about using carla for this purpose, but I haven’t messed around with that so I can’t attest to it’s usefulness. I use Arch for all this, so ymmv on Kinoite, I didn’t try any of it out when I was on Bazzite, but I can tell you that Bazzite was great for gaming!

I’m not a kernel expert, but that’s just quiet and splash right?

I miss you guys too ❤️

I got to play some Baldur’s Gate 3 with Stamets and a few other Lemmings, that was cool! I’d still be doing it if my schedule allowed.

Gotta set up DNS to point to your server, here’s a quick guide on how to accomplish this, but cloudflare might have their own guide that would be more specific to your platform.

I use Prismlauncher, it’s great for managing multiple versions with different mod lists, Java versions, etc. Nice, clean interface, and you get a background cat!

orphankiller, because pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) is too much to type

It’s like Highlander

I am not changing my bootloader today. I am not changing my bootloader today. I am NOT changing my bootloader today!

I mean, Debian and Ubuntu are very different beasts, but I’ve never had a problem with any of my Endeavour machines except for the nagging itch in the back of my head that said, “it’s not real Arch” lol. The biggest difference from an Ubuntu or Mint is that you have to update more often, and you shouldn’t do it from a GUI so you’ll have to see the terminal every so often. I’d say it’s just about the same as Debian, just that Arch-based distros focus on performance, while Debian-based ones focus on stability. So I use Debian for my servers and Arch for my gaming/music making rigs.

Nah, YouTube serves ads on the same domain as the videos, so DNS filtering is out.

Have they made anything like this for Roku yet?

It’s really not as tough as it’s made out, try something like Endeavour for all the “Arch” but with some sane defaults. The hardest thing is learning a new package manager, but Arch’s is called pacman and it looks like Pac-Man, so you get extra whimsy!
