p.s: I don't want to go through 12 different READMEs or compile a new pipewire or a new kernel or whatever. I simply want this to work.

Come on, it can't be that hard, can it?!

(2/2)

So, talking #UbuntuStudio 24.04, preliminary result of migrating from Kubuntu 18.04 #Linux + #kxstudio overlays:

- #Pipewire 1.0.5 is included and way too old to be considered any good for professional audio. This is a general Problem with Ubuntu 24.04 and can be solved by using a PPA that gives you 1.2.7.

- Mixbus and Adour and Lightworks are working good (with Pipewire 1.2.7)

- All my WindowsVSTs still work via LinVST.

- Not working any more: IR.lv2 anywhere, can't find Dexed in any repository, Calf plugins are installed but not loading in Ardour.

- Audacity crashes the entire audio system on my desktop machine, resulting in the need to reboot, while it works flawlessly on my laptop with the same system but different audio hardware.

Would I recommend it? Well if you're a Linux nerd, yes. But then probably go for Ubuntu Studio 24.10 because Ubuntu 24.04 will probably never get any more recent Pipewire.

If not a Linux nerd, just get a Mac.

Welcome @pipewire , the #linuxaudio backend that makes life better. At least for me.
