I have over 1100 plugins on my system. Fine for those "ingredients" thanks.sQeetz wrote: Sun Jun 16, 2024 8:21 pm But you'll be making a roast dinner where all the main ingredients are missing (major plugins). It'll be a shitty roast... should have ordered in the first place

Pizza actually requires more ingredients than a roast. Some people just want everything delivered to them and are unaware that their delivery driver is picking off their order.

Of course I was taking a piss... Couldn't make it more obvious.
Just having thousands of plugins on a Linux install means that you must have a ton of them running on Wine. Windows plugins emulated to run on Linux. That's ... too much of a hassle if you ask me if you could just run Windows and turn off all the shit you don't like running in the first place.
What I don't understand is the state of mind telling you: I will purposely jump through hoops just in order to have to avoid disabling some stuff I don't want?

I have 9 Windows plugins installed, the rest are native to Linux. It's no hassle at all for me. Telemetry isn't the reason I don't use Windows anyway.sQeetz wrote: Tue Jun 18, 2024 7:45 pm Of course I was taking a piss... Couldn't make it more obvious.

I think what you need to understand is that just because something is difficult for you, it doesn't mean it is for everyone else.

I wish I could just turn off things on Windows. Strip off their unnecessary bloat once and not have it show up on some background update. If you're running a machine where the only thing you want is your production/instrument apps and run it lean and mean to do it, then Win/Mac is the worst for it.sQeetz wrote: Tue Jun 18, 2024 7:45 pm

I don't have to run every thing I've ever owned either. But between just four companies that all run native in Linux I have plenty that cover all the bases I need.
Windows/Apple are consumer traps making you think you need more and fearful that if you uninstall something you'll miss out and be sorry for it.
Linux is that scary place of freedom from that.
