I actually agree, Linux is getting more and more popular and devs need to adapt.

They don't need to at all, it's a tiny percentage of sales.Hipster Bales wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:04 pm I actually agree, Linux is getting more and more popular and devs need to adapt.

wait actually I take that back, it'd be hard to because Linux is a kernel not an OS.Seafire Mk2 wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:20 pmThey don't need to at all, it's a tiny percentage of sales.Hipster Bales wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:04 pm I actually agree, Linux is getting more and more popular and devs need to adapt.

I'm boring. My favorite synth plugin hasn't change in the last 10 years or so. It's still Waldorf Largo.
I blame the developers. I simply haven't come along anything better by now.

Some people seem to like it, some seem to hate it. For me, it's one of the best, if not the best soft synth ever created. Every time I used it, I end up with something useful and inspiring.
Unfortunately, they messed up the GUI with version 2, but, that's the only version you can buy from them now...

Nice re: Largo. I use Wolfram Franke's next synths after that a lot - the Tracktion ones.chk071 wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:33 pm Some people seem to like it, some seem to hate it.

That's the problem with Linux. If we had to talk about it in terms of distros, or OS as you put it, we'd have to mention 600+ active OS in each post. I don't think that would help anyone.Hipster Bales wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:26 pmwait actually I take that back, it'd be hard to because Linux is a kernel not an OS.Seafire Mk2 wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:20 pmThey don't need to at all, it's a tiny percentage of sales.Hipster Bales wrote: Wed Jul 22, 2026 8:04 pm I actually agree, Linux is getting more and more popular and devs need to adapt.
