@TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @ercanbrack@mastodon.online It will not take much longer before most people could handle their professional music workflows on Linux. For me, that is already true today.
Hardware support is, of course, a separate challenge. But even there, I am optimistic that we will see a lot of positive progress.
Linux is also becoming increasingly relevant in other areas (which helps the pro audio segment as well), such as gaming, digital sovereignty, privacy, etc.

@amadeus@mstdn.social I honestly found it very heartening that, after years of requiring drivers, my RME Digiface interface suddenly became class compliant with a firmware update. I doubt that RME did that for iOS compatibility, as that interface makes basically no sense for iPad and iPhone. (It's ADAT only, with no other I/O, so it's only a studio interface.) The only other reason that I can think of to put resources into class compliance is Linux compatibility. @TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza @ercanbrack@mastodon.online
