  • “Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

    That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

    Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.






  • I’m kind of in the same boat though. Compatibility still breaks lots of things people don’t think about.

    • music production (that’s me)
    • video editing & pp
    • architecture software & planning software
    • legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
    • various GIS software
    • very specific closed source hardware

    There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.

    I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible. I had to switch back, and I hate that I had to do it, but I’m working with artists and costumers, and things need to work fast and stable.
