As for music production on Linux, I use Reaper. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

Touch Support in Niri, the scrollable Wayland Compositor, written in Rust in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] rwdf@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I use it on my laptop which has a small screen. I have two or three workspaces/"ribbons" with let's say terminals (with IDE) on the first one, browser(s) under that one and chats in the bottom row. I have at most two or three windows in each row, so there's not much overhead. Also there are keybindings to jump to the start or end of each workspace. How many windows do you usually have open?

Thanks for the tip.

I am currently reading Cloud Native Go, among other things. Seems interesting.

Thanks! It's about time I read Asimov for sure.

Yep, I've found some books on Libby and BookBites which is what my local library offers, but not everything I'm looking for.

The Internet Archive is great and deserves support!

Thanks! I'm interested for sure. I can use this and then donate directly to the authors if that's possible :)

Where do you buy (or get) e-books from besides Amazon? (lemmy.world)
 

So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don't want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author's websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.
