From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oooo one of the main things stopping me from coming over to Linux is the fact that one of my primary uses is djing, currently I use traktor and have tried mixxx in the past but haven't really got on with it.
Definitely going to give this a go to see how it has improved as I haven't tried it out for a few years and maybe I can finally make the shift away from windows!
Anyone have any experience of bringing libraries / playlists across to mixxx from other software?
No experience, but they've been working on rekordbox support for a while, as well as few others
Ah yeah, traktor is on there, thanks for the link!
Hopefully this update will be good to move over to for me and get away from windows! :D
In 2020 they were attempting to add HID support for CDJs. Does anyone know how far along that effort is? I would LOVE to convert my library from Rekordbox to Mixxx and just bring a little laptop to a gig instead of hoping and praying that LINK mode works.
From what I see online it's just hid mapping support and their page only mentions the OG CDJ 2000s (non nexus). I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was only just control and no display features like you get within rekordbox. I have a pair of 2Ks laying around so I'll try it out some point.
