Unsolicited update regarding today's experiences with pro audio/VSTs on Linux:
'yabridge', a nifty server doing the translation between Windows VSTs and my Linux-native DAW, has been abandoned since late 2024 and is critically broken with recent Wine versions.

I'm afraid this means going full-Wine on Reaper, or just sticking to my dual-boot setup. Which realistically means I'll mostly be on Windows as daily driver again.

Hoping this isn't the be-all, end-all, but for now, my Linux partition will be relegated to gaming/office work.

Which DE/WM do you use?

I tweaked my KDE installation in such a way that it nearly looks and works like a tiling window manager but with the perks of a desktop environment because under the hood it's still KDE and I am pretty happy with this setup!

I use compact pager[1] for showing desktops.

Tried to dual boot Windows and Manjaro Linux. Fresh install of Windows. Went to shrink the partition to make room for Linux, and found Windows only allows me 25GB of my 2TB hard drive. Something something "immoveable files". I decided to hell with dual boot and just went full Linux. Feels great. Get fucked, Microsoft.

People need to stop spreading the following Arch Linux Myths:

- Arch isn’t stable for daily use
- You need to update your system daily
- The AUR is filled with malware
- You can't use Arch without using the terminal

The above are just plain False
