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.

the switch to New Audacity is easier for users from any other DAW (such as Protools, Logic, Ableton) than for Old Audacity users

as an Old Audacity user I disagree with that. it is still extremely hard to use audacity as a DAW because it's very much still a multitrack audio editor with some beat-based features and non-destructive effects. i don't think clips were too hard to adjust to

Musescore was changed from a fully offline app to one tightly integrated into an online ecosystem.

I am also an old Musescore user. You would be a little right to talk about audio.com and pretty on the nail to talk about MuseHub but musescore.com absolutely not. musescore.com's been a thing since 2010 (MuseScore was only founded 2008 and acquired 2017) with the "Save Online" feature. Hal Leonard sued this small project for storing copyvio scores back in the old '10s (and now Muse Group owns Hal Leonard). And it's not like they've "integrated" it any more either; it's just blumming uploading scores same as it always has been since 2010.

look at MuseHub. those shiny new effects and mixing, we advertise them so much, they're free, they're groundbreaking, you have to use proprietary MuseHub. the entire Muse Sounds stack is proprietary. and even then you can still use MuseScore entirely offline to do anything it could do in 3.x (that's pre-acquisition for those unfamiliar with MuseScore version numbers).
