1 year agoFOSS shit is built to be reproduced. if you wanted to fork somebody’s project and build your own thing on top of it, that’s in the spirit of open source. if they didn’t want it to happen, they wouldn’t use a FOSS license. if you can do that, then building your own thing that does similar stuff is certainly not a problem. FOSS isn’t competitive, its collaborative. everybody who contributes is doing a good thing, even if that’s by building more options for people.
same. audio accounts for so much of the friction i’ve experienced on linux its crazy. it works fine for general computing (after tons of troubleshooting), but it kind of convinced me that i’d probably need to dual boot if i wanted to try music production. i’d love to be proven wrong about that.
