I’m looking at a laptop for #LinuxMusicproduction
Any advice?
The one I look at now is a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T580
Intel Core i7-8650U 1,9GHz processor
15,6″ Full HD
32 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 SSD
2GB NVIDIA GeForce MX150
I need for it to be quiet most of the time, since I often work site-specific and fan-noise is unwanted.
#AudioThing made me buy stuff, again. They have a nice offer for Philicordia #VST (transistor organ), and in the checkout they also made a nice offer for Wurly (Wurlitzer) and Mantis (BBD echo). These all run on #Linux. I really really really appreciate this company.

Alright, I have a new laptop for reasons and am going to venture into the world of #Bitwig under Linux.
If any of you out there see this and want to tell me something, please do. :D
In the late 1900s I mucked about in UNIXes when I was on the helpdesk for a university. I made shell scripts and understood jokes about vi vs. emacs. I haven't really touched Linux this century, and I am well aware things have moved on a lot.
I'm looking at Manjaro, btw.
So many helpful answers here! Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about #Linux and #MusicProduction. So grateful for your expertise.

Who's making music on #Linux? Is it realistic to replace a #MacBook with a Linux machine in a recording studio? Does it play nice with external devices? I've had some experience with #Ubuntu, I'm aware that it's not as user friendly but it seemed to work well "in the box", at least. Thoughts? #linuxmusic #linuxmusicproduction #linuxmusicians #MusicProduction https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/03/apple-ceo-tim-cook-personally-invested-1-million-in-trumps-inauguration
*sigh* all I want is to practice the guitar part along with the drums, but it appears DrumGizmo is not aware that I'm playing the same measure on a loop so it just keeps using more RAM to remember the same fucking samples over and over again until it runs out and becomes so slow I can't hit the stop button bc my mouse is lagging too much to accurately click anything 🤦 there's gotta be a better way #morganMakesMusic #ardour #drumGizmo #linuxMusicProduction
One thing that's annoying abt music production on Linux is that while ik how to get my computer to recognize a keyboard, I have no idea how to get the keyboard to recognize my computer. So unlike when @roari uses it, it still plays aloud when it's plugged in and I can't mute it 🙃 not that bad on piano or guitar parts but it's probably annoying as fuck when I'm using it for drums lol #morganMakesMusic #linuxMusicProduction
Schon mal darüber nachgedacht, auf Linux 🐧 umzusteigen? - Ich arbeite derzeit mit einer Gruppe von Linux-Musikern an einer Online-Plattform zur Verbesserung des Linux-Musikproduktions-Universums.
Um mehr über die (potenziellen) Nutzer zu erfahren, haben wir eine kurze Umfrage erstellt. Dauert nur 2 Minuten, versprochen!

I need help from the #musicproducing bubble.
I'm using an old PC running #LinuxMint ( #xfce ) for #producing and #recording.
Main software is #LMMS and #Audacity.
I'd like to use a #MIDIkeyboard, best with some #Pads (like an #Akai #MPC) for playing #Samples for beats. But I'd like to use it in Linux.
Everytime I'm searching for information online it takes 2-4 minutes till: 🤯 My head explode.
The instructions for me, always seems kind of like this:
"Connecting the JACK-ALSA-Pod-Cable-Hypendum with the controller. Then Set your DAW-software via Wine up and in the last step just persuade Bill Gates, that he's sporting a fluffy moustache, wich is strokeable." ARRGH.
Please, I'm not a huge Linux-brain. Nor intend I to become one. I just wanna make music! And this without use unfree software.
Is there – at best – a plug-and-play solution for my MIDI-Keyboard wish?
Thank you in advance!

Is there anything more based than building your DAW workstation around FOSS?
Just tryin' something...

New track I did for a #CCMixter and #FMA event: https://soundcloud.com/jesuisgentil/sous-le-figuier
The more I use #Qtractor, the more I think it's an amazing little gem of a piece of software. I also used #Audacity, as usual.
