Good for you! I’ve been free of windows for a decade I think. There’s nothing I miss as most of the programs I like and need have linux versions. The main program holding me back was reaper, an audio editor, and when they released an alpha version for linux I erased my last windows hard drive. I only run debian stable, but I’m not too fussed with bells and whistles.

I used the bandit game as an in class exercise when I was teaching basic linux skills to aspiring system administrators. It was always a great success because everyone got to advance at their own pace. Plus, they felt like real hackers because it was really over ssh. Anyway, have fun!

Although it’s not in the fediverse I quite like reading https://tildes.net. It’s quite slow paced but the quality of conversation is quite high in my opinion.

This is pretty cool! Might test it out at some point. Thanks for the write up.

I did not verify my thoughts but I think this could be because ovh has big datacenters in Germany and quite a lot of Europeans use ovh.

It’s honestly a really well designed project. The engine and gui can run independently of each other so you can run the engine headless and interface with it via osc. This is what I do and works very well. The midi sync is very good and remains sync for days on end if your jack is stable. I make music with a friend who runs ableton and we both do live looping with a shared clock and never run into problems. Anyway, give it a spin!

Not sure you can get it to run on Android, but sooperlooper is a very good and stable open source looper. I’ve built a quite elaborate setup around two instances and puredata and it rarely fails. Can highly recommend!
