@chrislowis Haha, I know the feeling. I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you do switch.

Have you been doing anything musical on Linux yet? Moving across all my VSTs (and seeing if I can run Ableton Live via Bottles/WINE) is still on my "to do" list...

@chrislowis Thanks Chris! Glad it was of interest. Are you on Mint too, or did you go with something else?

TIL you can get a DOI for any (GitHub) code repo via Zenodo, a free service by CERN. This makes your code, dataset, or project properly citable in academic papers and research, with a permanent, versioned reference that won't break. Yay! 🥳

We just added a DOI for OpenMoji as well! https://zenodo.org/records/19704720

It's mostly just a bunch of notes about how I've found switching to Linux Mint, problems I ran into, things that helped, etc.
