I have an app that blocks scam/spam so irl I answer 100% but technically I only pickup 50%
Game: Gunship 2000
Book: the Murderbot Diaries
TV: Firefly
Movie: ~~Casablanca~~ no! Little Shop of Horrors!
But I run a summer festival on linux!
- Tech drawings on QCad
- Lights & previz on MagicQ
- Emails etc on firefox
Our media servers are W7 (!) but I access them with VNC. And lots of screens/beamers here are on PI computers.
...then of course we need a windows laptop for the wireless mics, for the FoH configuration, the videowall, stuff like that. Mails and docs are google anyway, remote access is teamviewer.
I can't run it all on linux, even if I sit at a linux computer the most.
Why do you think Immutable Distros are all the rage these days? Beyond deleting shit, there's always Fucking Up shit.
I built an entire theatre using Linux. Architect was on autocad, that was alright, but engineering was on vectorworks & there I had to ask for .dxf exports.
Qlab (macos) is 100% a no-go, I actually own a macbook just for this piece of software.
Isadora runs on wine, but video play is problematic. Isadora is a video mapper/VJ/mixing software.
Of the big three of lighting console software, only Chamsys' MagicQ runs on Linux. Infuriating when you know Grand MA consoles are linux-based. ETC? Don't ask.
It's niche (how about Enttec or DMXKing interfaces configurator?) but it's my niche. I survive doing things differently, and, yes, owning a dual-boot AsahiLinux/MacOS device.
That you can "do everything that windows does". You can't. You can do similar things, you can do different things, you can do basic things, yes, but Linux can't do everything that windows does.
disclaimer: on linux since 2006
Next time ask your lenses without. Mines are the same, I have a new prescription & just told the shop "no". No anti-blue, no ant-reflection, no nothing, just the hardest material available.
Indeed. If whatsapp isn't on the list, then I have all the confirmation I need.
That what I do is easy and that I'm "just pushing buttons". Yeah, I'm pushing the right button at the right time because the whoke shebang has been program'd, cued, mixed over weeks of rehearsals so that, come show time, it's all by magic. Magic of pushing the right button at the right time while also reading the brochure, watch the stage, issue cues to other dept sometimes in 2 different languages.
Easy peasy!
E16 was better
What the, uh, crunchy hell is a "Crunchy Granola Area"? Or did you just fired the queen of all autocorrect ever & I'm being too obtuse to detect it?
