KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

I have a Windows 11 / Kubuntu dual boot setup.

Windows 11 crashes about 1x per hour.

Kubuntu has never crashed.

@kde @Endof10 @kde@lemmy.kde.social also, the only reason i have Windows AT ALL is because Rekordbox (dj software) does not run on Linux. if it did, i would delete windows forever and never look back.

Rekordbox is also one of those softwares that i wish i didnt need to use at all.

im seeing a pattern here…

Have you looked into Mixxx? I understand that it takes more after Serato than Rekordbox though. I haven’t used any of them myself.

@turtle I would definitely dump Rekordbox for Mixxx if I could stick to DJing with Controllers. but you need to have a Rekordbox formatted USB stick to use the Pioneer CDJs they usually have at clubs.

Pioneer really has professional DJs by the you know whats

@turtle my response to this? Skip the CDJs and just do live eurorack performance. Have I successfully done this yet? No. 😭

That sounds wild! I’m not a DJ but have some interest in it.

@turtle it is wild! and difficult! hence why i have not done it yet lol but at least i won't be at the mercy of a predatory business model anymore

@djsf@fosstodon.org I can imagine! Are there any DJ controller manufacturers that are more reasonable in either supporting older hardware or making it more open so it’s easier for other software to support?

@turtle None that I'm aware of. And part of the problem is that almost all clubs use Pioneer. And when you perform you gotta use what they have, especially if you are part of a lineup.
