  • Check out Pipewire, which is the modern standard of linux audio

    I do not have the same requirements than you, but in audio production I can route anything in any which way I need (useful for switching monitoring or sources), and I did once plug an eq to my movie player because some ripped movie was really sounding bad

    There are tons of VSTs available, too

    There’ll be research to do, and a learning curve, but today is not the days of Jack anymore, it has become really easy if you go for a modern distro (arch, tumbleweed, fedora,…)

    Have fun running your sound your way!


  • Any modern gnome works great… until you have to type a lot. Also, typing on a wall-mounted screen is usually uncomfortable, not angled right.

    So depending on your “obedience”, debian 12, Fedora 40, OpenSuse Tumbleweed or plain old Arch will do it.

    Maybe there are.different style/type/propositions of on-screen keyboards out there.


  • Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my ‘23 mbp in 14’ has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don’t like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.

    To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it’s like my friend’ Carbon X1 on Mint really.
