New psychology research uncovers surprisingly consistent misjudgments of tattooed individuals
New research finds that while people often agree on what a tattoo says about someone’s personality, those judgments are usually wrong. The study reveals a consistent gap between how tattoos are perceived and the actual personalities of their wearers.Eric W. Dolan (PsyPost Psychology News)

Accidentally wrote an ISO to an encrypted 5TB drive… Help?
So, I did a thing - accidentally selected my 5TB external NTFS hard drive (encrypted with VeraCrypt) as the target for writing an ISO. The moment I noticed that "Impression" had switched the drive letter, I immediately killed the process. But yeah… damage done.
Now, the situation:
- Currently shows up as:
- 6 MB FAT
- 4.3 GB
- 2 TB unallocated
- 2.6TB unallocated
- The VeraCrypt volume obviously no longer mounts.
- Drive was somewhat crucial - lots of structured data I’d really prefer to recover with the original file system intact.
I know chances are slim, especially with encrypted volumes, but has anyone had luck recovering from something like this? I’m open to commercial recovery tools or command-line wizardry. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been down this road.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Veracrypt has back-up headers located elsewhere in the volume that are unlikely to have been overwritten.
First thing's first I would strongly recommend copying the drive as it currently exists bit for bit to another drive of equal or larger size. Don't work on the original if you can help it.
Now with this copy, you should try to check the option to use the backup header when mounting and try again. If the partition is gone and veracrypt doesn't see it you'll need to try using something that recovers partitions and doesn't mind encrypted partitions or partitions or file system types it doesn't understand and use that to ON THE COPY recover and recreate the partition (this will write data and can cause the possibility of further loss or worsen your ability to recover which is why it is important to perform it on a copy). Testdesk may work for this but there are other options that probably are better.
See this list: old.reddit.com/r/datarecovery/… and choose something from there if this data is truly important. Again only work on a copy on another drive. Some of these software examples actually work against the original drive and make a copy elsewhere and should be safe to use on the original drive so long as they have you select a target drive to push the recovered data to but read the documentation. Testdisk absolutely must be used on a copy.
You will incur data loss and likely should run one of the file recovery software mentioned on the drive once successfully mounted in veracrypt to attempt to recover as much as possible.
Thank you so much, this is really helpful.
I have a slightly different issue where I have several VeraCrypt vaults on an external that seem corrupted and don't recognize the correct passwords anymore. I'm making note of your advice to work on mine too. Is there anything particularly different you would recommend?
The only thing I would note is -IF- your volumes are not partition or disk based BUT -files- based there is the possibility that corruption of the host file system of the disk the files containing the volumes are on could result in pieces of those files being marked unreadable by the disk and it’s POSSIBLE one way to solve this would be a file system check utility.
HOWEVER such activities carry a -large- risk of data loss so I would advise a bit for bit copy of the disk and doing the repair on that so if it goes wrong you’re not worse off. -IF- you cannot make a copy then I would advise at least trying to mount using backup headers before doing that and copying off anything you can salvage as file system checks can really mess up data recovery and should only be used in certain circumstances.
You’re much better off trying the recovery software I linked in fact than doing a file system check as it will tend to have better results.
You can also use the option to mount as read only in VC to prevent writes to a suspected failing disk.
Let me know if you need further advice.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Backup important data
:::
I'm gonna be the one to say it. You've ruined your ability to decrypt the data. You can try a recovery service but expect to pay a lot for zero results.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Edit: don't go with commercial software, find a recovery service
This case is due to a logical problem. Cleanrooms are only necessary for physical repairs, like swapping the Head Stack Assembly.
DriveSavers’ cost of entry for a successful recovery is about $2,000. They’ve even given that quote to an iPhone user who needed nothing more than a screen replacement.
Their “state of the art facility” is appropriate for hardware cases where money is no object and you need the best of the best to deliver results no matter the cost.
Realistically, most regular people will be well taken care of using a reasonably priced service like 300 Dollar Data Recovery.

Yes, there are several privacy-focused alternative TikTok frontends:ProxiTok is the main open-source alternative frontend for TikTok[^1]. It allows you to:
- Watch TikTok videos without connecting to TikTok servers
- Create following lists to track specific users
- Access RSS feeds for users and trending content
- Browse without ads or trackingStickTock is another privacy frontend that lets you watch TikTok content by replacing "tiktok.com" with "sticktock.com" in any video URL[^2]. It offers both clearnet and Tor onion addresses.
Offtiktok provides similar functionality by adding "off" before "tiktok" in URLs[^3]. It includes a minimalist feed for watching recommended videos without ads or geo-restrictions.
All these frontends are:
- Free and open-source
- Self-hostable
- Privacy-focused (requests go through their servers instead of directly to TikTok)
- Ad-free

Did PewDiePie Just Crack the Code for How to Present Libre Software?
Did PewDiePie Just Crack the Code for How to Present Libre Software?On June 26th ( two days ago ) PewDiePie ( who I believe needs no introduction ) released another video in his liberation saga. This time titled I'm DONE with Google. In this video he goes over his process of getting "de-google-efied", or as he clarifies toward the end of the video, his process of getting rid of his reliance on Big Tech.
Great blog post! The mastodon outrage was a highlight as I see it again and again. Dunking on bridgy-fed, opt-out telemetry and donation pop-ups.
As I have tried to put myself in the shoes of a typical person I can see how they can view FOSS as crazy people in tinfoil hats creating templeOS.
No.
Anyone with a platform can do that.
(And from the little bits I've seen, mostly over memes & various news bits, the quality is questionable. Just don't follow the whims of influencers, it's not the correct way forward imho, it just inevitability leads to or spreads enshitification.)
I disagree, but I don't know why. Intuitively it doesn't feel like this is a bad thing. The people that "get it" will be introduced to something that they like and will go down the good path. The people that don't get it, won't. Just like they weren't before. Net profit: we turned some people towards the light. 🤷♂️ I see it as a win.
We don't have to use the same method on all people either. This might work for some, but not all, surely.
I don't really understand the enshittification spreading part of your argument. Curious to know more about what you meant by that.

That dude is no foss champion, at best just some user. If MS gives him money Windows & Edge will be the best
That dude is no foss champion, at best just some user.
He doesn't have to be. And so is everybody else I'm watching on YouTube to get tips on FOSS and stuff. But nobody complains about them because they're not big enough.
If MS gives him money Windows & Edge will be the best
But "Linux" isn't giving him any money either, surely. This argument breaks down because of that.
He's doing these things now, and they are good now. Why complain? So cynical.
That's is not what the problem is, lol, not by far. Nothing is a problem if you look at it in a short enough timeframe.
I'm not complaining about the few more people that discover Linux, I'm complaining that we are systemically introducing the same problems we want to get away from ("that the price is high/threatening", especially now that desktop Linux is on a steady rise & we need such """endorsements""" the least).
But "Linux" isn't giving him any money either, surely. This argument breaks down because of that.
What? With influencers it's what is monetisable in any current situation, what gets more views (and more money with that via various channels - atm "Linux" gives him revenue via selling ads etc to more people, if you offer him more money than that, he will sell whatever you say, that's his profession). If a megacorp wants to get in on it they freely can. At any point. But it would be a lot harder to do that if we don't/didn't have professional ad-people (no background, just as the money winds go) intertwined from the "start".
\
Financial power of a/any megacorps dictating foss just leads to monopoly again (eg how Google took over & is now closing more and more the "Android Linux"). And it makes it harder for projects to get support from "the people" vs "what is the most monetisable for some private entity".
Overlooking that is akin to saying scalpers help redistribute the product. Technically, sure, so "what are you complaining abut, so cyclical."
Talking about foss has literally become marketable. That's the only reason professional influencers are talking about it now. And people listening to them will listen to whatever they say next too. And that ("money talks, bullshit walks") is a bad future for foss which should be by it's nature free of such incentives bcs it just becomes another megacorps monopoly.
Going into foss & financially rewarding corps that aren't dedicated to open principles is just the current market situation (MS & Google) but with sparkles. It inevitably leads to more inequalities.

He has repeatedly and overtly used Nazi imagery, made a multitude of "jokes" like this:
Mr. Kjellberg says the material is portrayed in jest. He showed a clip from a Hitler speech in a Sept. 24 video criticizing a YouTube policy, posted swastikas drawn by his fans on Oct. 15 and watched a Hitler video in a brown military uniform to conclude a Dec. 8 video. He also played the Nazi Party anthem before bowing to a swastika in a mock resurrection ritual on Jan. 14, and included a very brief Nazi salute with a Hitler voice-over saying “Sieg Heil” and the text “Nazi Confirmed” near the beginning of a Feb. 5 video.[...]
In addition to more overt Nazi symbolism, Kjellberg makes references to the alt-right that are veiled but obvious if you know where to look. In one video from late August, he makes an extended racist joke comparing Harambe the gorilla to Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters actress and comedian Leslie Jones, echoing the widespread politically tinged, racist harassment that Jones endured last summer, largely from the alt-right.
And in another video from November, Kjellberg overlays a swastika, along with audio of a speech from Hitler, over unrelated commentary about clickbait YouTube channels. He then goes on to refer to BuzzFeed as “a bunch of cucks” — “cuck” being an alt-right buzzword.

The problem being we aren't all as absurdly shallow in our understanding of the world and politics as you are? Get your head out of your arse.
He has stated his favourite author is a Japanese fascist who wanted to restore the emperor, Yukio Mishima, who tried to do a coup and killed himself when he failed.
But I'm sure he just likes the guy for his prose, and has no particular fixation or interest in Nazi and fascist imagery and politics.
It's a Librem5 phone with cringe name and 100% markup, but it's their own product nonetheless. I.e. it is not a generic Android with a custom skin and preinstalled apps like Trump Phone, Freedom Phone, or Quantum Internet box.
You can buy pretty much the same Librem5 assembled in China for ~$700. Take a look at Liberux Nexx Linux phone too (they are just staring out)
(Not sure what you're calling racist here, appeal to "patriots"?)
i've got a problem with what ESR calls open source.
like, the fact that free software is inherently political has been explored elsewhere in the thread, but the term "open source" was started by people who wanted to distance themselves from the free software movement due to them disliking that it was anti-commercial. the open source movement wanted more companies to adopt their code, in contrast to the GNU people trying to stop their work being absorbed into the old big iron.
and they won.
i tend to use mit for things i see little value in, and something stronger for things i think may be useful.
but i don't get to publish much code.
The Free Software movement wasn't really anti-commercial, they explicitly allow commercial purposes as part of the freedoms to protect, it's part of the first freedoom they defend, "freedom zero".
And it's not like the open source movement wasn't inherently political either.. wanting more companies to join the movement is actually a political position.
But also, it's not like the Free Software movement didn't want to have more companies adopt their philosophy.. they did want that, I mean that would have been awesome if it had happened. And when possible the FSF has actively tried to convince companies to get on board, they even have run programs to help companies promote themselves as certified by the FSF, such as the "Respects Your Freedom (RYF)" certification.
What makes the Free Software movement different is that they actively see proprietary software as evil. They see freedom as a right, something mandatory, not something to merely be "open" to. Going out of your way to not use closed source software, to the point of crippling yourself digitally if necessary, is then the ethically correct behavior. Whereas the "open source" movement sees it more as an option, something that can be useful but not strictly necessary, they wont consider it inherently bad/evil to use proprietary.
This is akin to someone considering buying ethically sourced shoes as something optional vs considering it a moral obligation so as to not be complicit to evil practices. Or say.. saving energy being an option that might be convenient for you personally vs a moral obligation with the planet.
The business model at the time for most commercial projects was based on offering software as a product, not as a service, so they didn't want to release their code. When eventually the shift towards services started to happen, companies gravitated towards the "open" side because it allowed them to take advantage of free software while retaining proprietary software for those situations in which it benefited them, without being flagged as "evil" by the same community they were working with.
There is evidence already in that video that suggests that he is starting to lean more left. Like he pointed out the ecological issues with AI. Even though he did say "I don't like to be that guy" before saying that.
It seems like he is already doing some doubts and thinking that are signs of moving the left direction.
I'm trying to be the optimist here. If we want not just PewDiePie, but his subscribe-base to change sides, we need him to be extra careful and extra soft with this sort of change. He seem to know how to form good streams of thoughts and convincing narratives. This would take some serious carefulness on his part. And it seems like he is already taking small steps to do that.
I see a few people keep saying that, but how so? What has he done that's neo Nazis like? Not that I follow the guy or what he does so I may be missing things but the only controversy I can remember that could be considered Nazis like was when he paid some fiver people to make a video saying death to all Jews.
Now I get how that could be considered Nazi like but he said it was a joke and to show that people will do anything for money, and I believe him and thought the joke was funny. So I guess I'm a neo nazi too if that's it. Obviously it's a "bad" joke but but it was shocking in a funny way, atleast to me at the time. Given you're from hexbear I figured you'd find it funny too
don't like this
Dessalines doesn't like this.
The problem with this is that it leaves left-leaning people using tech companies and slick, highly-produced products as status items. iphones and macbooks are still solid left-leaning status objects.
Also, the right doesn't mind being scrappy and using janky, poorly configured crap if it appears to meet their agenda. Nearly every right-leaning social media platform is either a platform with a Mastadon backend, or some early 2000's style forum.
Mate, are you really just gonna keep moving the goalposts and doing this subpar jordan peterson fan shit?
Imagine being this pathetically tied to a youtuber, holy shit.
he is a nazi aight
I used to watch him years ago. He has a very young and impressionable audience which he constantly feeds memes with right-wing rethoric.
To list a few of the stuff I remember:
- He said the N word hard R;
- He paid people on Fiverr to show a sign saying "Death to all Jews" or something like that, where he laughed at the reveal. He said it was to prove a point that you could do harmful shit with that type of online service, but all it ended up doing was getting the guys banned from the platform and served to signal to Nazis that he would host such content;
- He allowed right-wingers to fester in his community, 4chan specially really liked the guy;
- He hosted both Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk in his channel for a "meme review";
- He has stated multiple times that his favorite author is Mishima, a Japanese fascist, not only in the past, but also in the last year at least;
- He used to stream on some crypto bullshit site, which I don't remember the name;
- His whole campaign against the Indian conglomerate T-Series lead not only to racist comments but also to a very racist music video he did;
- The Christchurch shooter mentioned him in a video. And while being mentioned by a shooter doesn't necessarily mean he's an issue, in this case it's extremely relevant since it's pretty clear that is a byproduct of his politics and the community he has.
There's probably much more that I either don't remember or don't know about, but this is more than enough to understand where he stands politically and the harm he causes.
I also recommend the video: The PewDiePipeline.
The Political Afterlives of Yukio Mishima, Japan’s Most Controversial Intellectual And Global Icon Of The Far Right
The writer Yukio Mishima, who took his own life fifty years ago today, remains one of modern Japan’s most important cultural figures.jacobin.com
If you can't see how he hosting Shapiro and Musk, using right wing memes and rethoric, endorsing a fascist author, and allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community is directly related with why that POS shooter mentioned him, that is precisely the problem.
That's a common excuse used to defend the guy over and over again like it is just some isolated incident and not connected to the content he produces and the community he fosters.
allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community
Would you mind elaborating on that? Is it that these people are in his YouTube comments, maybe on a subreddit? I never followed this guy, I've only seen probably less than 5 videos he's made (likely only 2), one of which was this open source video.
Originally I avoided the guy because he was just a "loud is funny" let's player, then I heard he said the N word, and i had heard people trying to get him to be the #1 YouTube channel over some music conglomerate.
In any case, while you can do things to attract certain people, I'm not sure how much control you have over your community, which is why I'm asking.
Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain.
And it does make a difference to me personally if someone said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago, or recently after this change
He said the N word on stream, in a "heated gamer moment". I have never ever said that word in private or otherwise, leading me to believe that is not his first time or last.
He paid poor people in India on fiver to hold a sign saying "kill the jews"
In his apology video he wore a shirt with a fucking iron cross on the collar.
He is a Nazi and to continue to hem and haw about whether he is or isn't is exactly what crypto fascist losers like him want you to do.
PewDiePie is a Nazi. Stop carrying water for Nazis.
The challenge is that we're not just selling software, we're selling an idea - the idea that users deserve control over their computing. We're not competing on the proprietary software marketplace, we're offering an alternative to it.
We are already seeing the proprietary software world enshittify. More and more "non-tech" people are looking for a way out. The challenge is to demonstrate that these problems are inherent to the world of proprietary software and not just because "Google is evil."
Sure thing. These people were both on his YouTube comments and on his subreddit. Tho I remember it being worse at the subreddit.
The issue is not that Nazis will watch his content, that's outside of anyone's control, but that his content funnels people into right-wing ideologies, which attracts these types of people.
The video "The PewDiePipeline" that I linked talks about this better than I could.
isnt that just a FOSS operating system for phones and tablets?
if its something more sinister, I'd be interested to learn it.
thank you for confirming that even you have no idea what the hell you're actually angry about. that's pretty funny.
good luck with whatever you think you're fighting against 😅
Yeah that wasn't a great moment, but if you look at the context for that you'll see that it wasn't even talking about a black person. It was just an expletive, like saying "motherfucker" or "son of a bitch" etc.
Keep in mind that outside of USA the N word is not nearly as charged politically and racially as it is within the USA. And PDP is Swedish IIRC, not American.
Edit: my point is that his usage of that word - which AFAIK only happened once - is not indicative of his character. It's just indicative that he was really angry at that moment and human brains for some reason use expletives in those cases.
The "niche" being a hard nazi
Lol
ive done some digging to see if there's some glaring issue I'm just not aware of. i found no evidence whatsoever so far of anyone using this device or saying these phones or devices are used for anything criminal or nationalist activity.
i just found a lot of linux nerds or FOSS nerds who seem to have varying opinions on whether they like it or the company or not.
in a world so absolutely brimming with click bait headlines and buzzwords being used to incite conflict, let's not rally behind every cry of vilification without first checking that it's actually villainous. you know?
we need to make sure we don't fall into the same habits those headlines aim to force us into.
or well, thats just my feelings on it.
"Well, the nazi hasn't done [extremely nazi shit] after public backlash without apology. So he's not a nazi lol"
Please touch grass
yes, I don't pay attention to or care about PewDiePie specifically because of that Nazi shit he did, that I mentioned above.
the reason I dont know is because I been touching grass instead of gluing my eyes to popular let's players and talking heads.
did he do more Nazi shit after that time? and uh, where did I say he wasn't a Nazi? I didn't.
He also used to follow a ton of open white supremacist NAZIS on Twitter like Laura Southern and that guy who got punched in the face. People screenshotted it and he noticed and privated his follows. That was many years ago. But you don't follow open Nazis if you're just some gamer dude (if he was some sort of respectable journalist you could have an excuse of having a newsworthiness angle but he followed them because he liked their posts because he is a NAZI).
I think he's more greedy than committed to bringing about Nazi goals so is somewhat careful about not exposing too much of that part of himself but he's part of the white supremacist gamergate to white supremacist streamers pipeline and should be called a Nazi until they day he 1) admits he was a Nazi, 2) disavows that. 3) disavows other Nazi gamer streamers who exist in his "edgelord space" 4) becomes openly progressive and goes out of his way to denounce and attack fascists and white supremacy. Until that day he should be assumed to still be a Nazi.
- He used to follow (probably still does) open white supremacists and Nazis of the Richard Spencer/Lauren Southern type and got called out for it and privated his follows on twitter. That was many years ago but given he's never done a u-turn and say started attacking gamergate and other reactionary gamer politics or loudly supporting broad coalition progressive politics I think we can assume he still holds those politics and more importantly he dog whistles and is part of a pipeline of radicalizing young men, specifically gamers into hate.
Nah, you're excusing his behavior. He could have cursed in Swedish instead of using a racially charged word. The fact that he knew the word, knew it was bad, it came to his mind and used it is too much to be a "heated" moment.
And even if it was, there's literally no excuses. His content is in English and his main audience is USians.
lmfao
Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain
"in this comment chain" being the operative part, as if people don't have eyes to see you've been doing the same bullshit in this thread.
said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago,
lmfao when this was started it was how could you possibly think he thought or believed anything bad, now it's before several years ago when he definitely for real changed all his views just don't ask me to name what those views are after I keep demanding everyone else provide evidence, next it'll be "but did he say it literally last week???"
Just shut the fuck up and learn to not be so pathetic. Fucking hell.
Sure it's a challenge, but it's not necessary for getting people to use the software. One does not require the other, but it is a gateway to being able to do that.
It is self-evident that free software with open licensing and no strings attached is a superior and more beneficial ownership model than closed source paid licensing. That part I don't think anyone needs to be convinced of.
It's just not necessary to make that one of your core beliefs, or add several others, before using the software.
It is self-evident that free software with open licensing and no strings attached is a superior and more beneficial ownership model than closed source paid licensing. That part I don't think anyone needs to be convinced of.
As someone who has both technical and nontechnical people in their family, I call bs. Even if it is partially self-evident (in the fact that you dont need to sign into an account or pay for it), the details, and more importantly the weight, of FOSS is often lost on people.
I've had to watch some of them walk into a rake and bruise their foreheads several times over before really absorbing it.
It's something people need to really read up on before true comprehension. That, or get burnt really really badly.
Ideology? Politics? Tomato tomatoh in my eyes. At the very least, they're nearly inseperable (think: DMCA, copyright law, etc.)
Not too long ago I broke down a the costs between Ableton and bitwig, and they are quite similar over time.
Ableton has the big #'rd updates where as bitwig you get all updates within a year from license activation.
Since BW will still run after the license runs out (you just cant update to any new versions) I don't always update until there is a new feature that I want to work with drops in an update.
I also limit purchasing licenses to sale periods as a license can sit on the shelf until you're ready to activate it - this significantly reduced the cost for me.
I think there are other ways to go about this though on the vast sea of the net if your sails catch the wind right ;). If you're making stuff for fun and not for profit I think everyone should have access to creative tools.
If you make money than it's worth considering sending some. money their way. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't personally used Ableton ever but am a hobbying musician, and pro-audio is possible on Linux as well as running non-native applications via Wine. I found this just searching, there's apparently a Discord group also dedicated to this project.
Usually doing a web search like "xyz windows program+linux" will produce results, and putting in your distro name will produce better. Anyway, good luck on your journey!

There are a couple of solutions, I'm using Ardour myself, but LMMS might be more like Ableton
There is a more or less complete list here: wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/daw_a…
Dual booting is a hassle but afaik it's the least difficult way to go.
I am a hobbyist and was using ableton live before. As mentioned by others, unless you dual boot - try bitwig studio for similar experience. It is from people who worked in ableton. Have a trial, pirate if can't afford now.
Foss alternative - ardour is great, but you will have to bring your own plug in suit.
Yabridge tool can help you to run windows vsts on Linux, but not everything works. And beware - it does not work with flatpak version Bitwig, at least it did not.
I've heard that Ableton+wine works, not sure about all the plugins though.
There's also lmms, ardour, Bitwig and reaper with native Linux builds
According to WineHQ, Ableton's compatibility with wine isn't stellar. FL Studio works quite well in it, but switching DAWs can be a pretty major undertaking.
For Linux native DAWs, Reaper and Bitwig are the two best options. Reaper is the most affordable at 60 bucks, with an infinite free trial.
To be honest, this was the dealbreaker that kept me using a Mac.
I assume this is coming at some point, tbh
I personally reckon they're working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it's an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I've tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it's the VST support that lets me down. I've got hundreds of VSTs I've used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can't switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I've worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I've got to begrudgingly keep windows around.
I can greatly recommend Reaper to you, in case Ableton + Wine doesn't work out.
I only recently got into music making as a hobby so my overall perspective might be limited, but other DAWs I tried included:
* Ardour
* Bitwig
* LMMS
* Zrythm
I settled with Reaper bc of it's customizability, freedom in workflow and cheap price without compromising in pro features. It's actually completely free as long as you are evaluating buying it, which is up to you for how long. And the customizability is off the charts compared to any other DAW.
But what really sold Reaper to me was the lack of hurdles that got into my way of learning to make music.
Have fun
Someone in here mentioned bitwig.
I started on abelton and moved to bitwig around 3.X and have been with it ever since.
I love all the different modules and the grid which has give me a lot more expressive control over my sounds.
they are similar yet different; I believe the core bitwig team were ex ableton devs who wanted to take things in a different direction.
I know it's silly but one of the biggest things that I like about bitwig is customizable shortcuts; this is especially good if you're coming from ableton because if your a shortcut key wizard you can easily remap similar functions.
if you've got an extensive VST collection you can run them with wine + yabridge.
Bitwig is not the only option, but coming from ableton if you want to run single boot it is the most similar (IMO) to Ableton.
Happy to answer any questions you may have about it as well.
There are several commercial options for Linux. The most-Ableton software out there is Bitwig Studio that has a Linux port. However, it's expensive. The cheapest commercial solution, with a bit of learning curve but powerful nonetheless, is Reaper.
However, if you want to go 100% open source, there's Ardour and LMMS (which is a lot like FL Studio). Ardour 9, which is expected by the end of the year, will be more MIDI-friendly than it used to be. LMMS latest git version (offered as binary on their site) has some good new features compared to their stable version, however, there's still no vst3 support.
I'm an visual artist and I used Photoshop for years to edit my hand-painted scanned paintings. When I moved to Linux, and Gimp3 was out, I was finally ready to leave Photoshop behind. Some features of Photoshop aren't there, but I was ready to leave them behind. Same with video, I used to have a rather popular blog about color grading with Resolve. I moved to kdenlive, which has none of these tools or plugins. It's a decision that I simply had to make. I wanted to use foss tools, and that was the price to pay. I'm cool with my decision.
If you gotta go commercial, go with Reaper. The people (a small team of 3 or 4 I believe) behind it are really cool, and they're doing it for the love of it, their profit is very small.
I'd suggest no-one ever dual-boot Windows with anything. There are to many mishaps when Windows takes it into their head to fuck the bootloader.
Put the OS into a VM. If you only use Windows for one app put Windows into the VM. Otherwise put Linux into the VM until you find you're mostly using Linux.
Unless you have an old PC laying around ..
Focus on productivity and pleasure, so make the transition easier :
- try Linux without dual boot, e.g. distrosea.com/ (I made a 30min video discussion if you are curious)
- try Linux on a USB stick to get persistence and not be afraid of using private data
- try dual boot with default on Windows, your important data backed-up (e.g. music you created)
- try dual boot with default on Linux and Ableton or whatever you need on Wine, if it doesn't work in virtual machine
- try boot on just Linux with Wine
- try boot on Linux with Ableton FLOSS equivalents (few listed in this thread)
- try boot on Linux with e.g Ardour or LMMS but genuinely benefit from FLOSS by making and sharing your own plugins
The entire process must be risk free and fun!
Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.
Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn't work so I can't upload and can't be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.
I couldn't get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don't want to run S1 on this box.
But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.
I don't use flatpak much but trying to do...
flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7
... failed with "Failed to connect to Wayland display".
I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.
What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.
But it is really surprising development.
Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying "Studio One is a Wayland application and won't run in X11 session."
The .wav format is actually very simple. You should be able to write a bash script to produce wavs without too much trouble. If you'd rather not work that low-level you can always use the DAW features in emacs.
/s
Like many others have suggested, you may want to try Bitwig. I understand that it's the alternative DAW that is the most similar to Ableton. The company was started by a group of ex-Ableton employees, so it's not a coincidence. Many people online feel that it's in general a better DAW than Ableton, so you may end up liking it. It supports Linux natively, even provides an official flatpak (or Ubuntu installer?)
It's not as expensive as some make it out to be, and it's on sale right now for a few more days. I just yesterday bought Bitwig Studio Essentials. They have 3 editions and Studio Essentials is the starter version, currently $79 (reg. $99). The next level up is Studio Producer, currently $149 (reg. $199), and the top level is just Studio, currently $299 (reg. $399). They also offer rent to own for $16/month for 25 months on Splice.

Kuwaiti academics call for boycott of Western universities involved in supporting Israel aggression on Gaza
Dozens of Kuwaiti academics have called for a boycott of Western universities involved in supporting Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, explaining that the Palestinian civilians’ suffering in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law, Quds Press reported.
The Association of Faculty Members at the Public Authority for Applied Education; the trade union body comprising academics working in applied colleges, explained in a statement that it was following with great concern the independent reports documenting crimes and violations against civilians in the Gaza Strip, amid suspicious international silence.
“Based on our academic and ethical responsibility, and in adherence to the values of human justice that uphold human dignity and fundamental rights, we express our growing dissatisfaction with the involvement of some Western universities, particularly British ones, in research or investment partnerships with companies that provide military technologies used directly or indirectly to support the ongoing aggression” the statement said.

Weapons From Ukraine Reaching Terrorists in Africa, Latin America
Weapons from Ukraine end up in the hands of terrorists and criminal groups in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, Yulia Zhdanova, the new head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, told Sputnik.Sputnik International
Yulia Zhdanova, the new head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, revealed to SputnikReferring to the assessment of the foreign expert community,
So the only source, actually cited source, is a head of a negotiation team, of a country at war referring to its enemy? Very credible /s
Oh so we're admitting the US and its allies are directly at war with Russia now, are we? Tut tut you shouldn't talk down on plucky little Ukraine fending for itself like that.
Anyways, let's all calm down and focus on making the entirety of the Baltics uninhabitable with antipersonnel mines 🥰
Hmm where is Ukraine getting all of these weapons anyways?
Russian imperialism
That sounds really scary, what's imperialism? Could you try to define it? I need to become learned like you
"Bully News: Nerd's Lunch Money Probably Being Spent On Dorky Shit."
So, yeah, a story from a Russian government mouthpiece quoting a Russian government spokesperson spouting Russian government talking points that - deary me, oh my days, can you believe it, bless my soul, what are the odds, well I'll be - paints a negative image of the country the Russian government illegally and unjustifiably invaded. Or, maybe the oligarchy are just pissed off that the warlords aren't buying their weapons from them any more?
"What if I framed geopolitics as a schoolyard quarrel"
Very original dude. Ever heard of Operation Cyclone?
Very sophomoric, matching your knowledge of history. Extremely amusing to pretend it would be crazy for the US to fund fascists in poorer countries, when it's the only reason Poland and the Baltic states even have their fake economies. Half of the events in the past 70 years have been instigated by the US funding some proxy force to secure resources.
You think they're not going to make a grab for the gold and uranium? Do you even remember what happened to Thomas Sankara, long before Ibrahim Traore?

U.S. Used Up 15-20 Percent of its Global THAAD Anti-Missile Arsenal in Just 11 Days of Mid-Intensity Combat: Cost Over $800 Million
The U.S. Army has been estimated to have consumed 15-20 of all munitions for its globally deployed arsenal of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) long range anti-missile systems, after deployment to support Israeli air defences during the country’s 11 days of hostilities with Iran.
A highly specialised asset designed to intercept medium and intermediate range ballistic missiles, the U.S. Army fields seven systems across five air defence regiments, and is set to operationalise an eighth by the end of the year.
The systems are depended on to counter the arsenals of five potential adversaries including North Korea, China, Russia and Belarus, as well as Iran. Video footage has shown the launch of 39 interceptors to intercept Iranian missiles from June 13-24, although only a small portion of launches were captured on film partly due to the strict wartime censorship that was put in place in Israel.
Presuming at a conservative estimate that the filmed launches from THAAD batteries accounted for 50-66 percent of total launches, total expenditure of interceptors amounted to approximately 60-80 interceptors during the 11 day conflict.

"Oh damn, we need to build much more of these then"
Right, the conclusion that the US can't resupply missiles fast enough is a fallacy unless you know for sure you can affect the supply chain invovled.
They only have that many because they don't need that many, but if you think you're gonna win a war by expecting the US to run out of ammo against even a swarm of cheap drones, you're in for a rude awakening.
I think only China could output higher production in full wartime scenario, and even they know it's not much of an advantage if their tech doesn't stack up.
What problems can I expect using Linux (Fedora) with an NVIDIA GPU?
I'm planning on getting a laptop within the next month which will be my daily driver for university, and it has a RTX 5060. I know people have lots of issues with NVIDIA on Linux, but I don't know of any specific issues. What issues can I expect running Fedora 42 (KDE) on this device?
I am not responding to most comments here, but I am silently taking them into account.
Certain videos won't play in any media player. Also occasional graphical glitches in Plasma for me. No issues with games oddly enough.
Edit: I'm using Arch but I'd expect these issues to be distro-agnostic. Though I'm fine with being wrong.
I had a 3060 Ti.
I couldn't game on Wayland for about 20% of my games (very frustrating), couldn't use specific Window Managers like Sway, experience constant screen tearing on X11 (which I often had to use, because the game would crash on Wayland) when gaming, and had a significant performance hit in some games.
CS:GO ran like a dream and actually better than on Windows, but with the release of CS2 my performance on Linux was about 20% worse than on Windows. My 1% lows were also crazy on Linux (median=190fps, %1=80fps). This meant, among others things, that I just couldn't play death match anymore — my FPS would make it unplayable. This was largely an optimization issue and I think some of the 2025 Nvidia driver updates of improved the situation a little for CS2 specifically. The screen tearing on X and the buggyness on Wayland were enough for me to switch though, even if eventual improvements might come.
I am now extremely happy with my 7900 XT, which I got for less than any available 9070 XT (in my region) and which amusingly actually has better performance in CS2 then then the 9070 XT on Linux. It's massively overkill though, I could have just as well gotten a 7800 XT or 9070 (non-XT).
I am still very, very pleased. Hopefully this will last me a few years, unlike the gosh darn 3060 Ti.
Alright, I'm done with my huge block of text. Hopefully this was helpful.
Running RTX4050 mobile on Fedora 41 (internet too crappy to upgrade to 42)
Works great!
Except for unreal 5 games but idk if that's a driver or a proton issue :/
A lot of the info here reads as outdated to me, I have a 40 series card and on bazzite with open drivers it works with zero issues on major titles like Cyberpunk, Horizon, etc. The open drivers have come a long way. It took maybe 5 months post 40 series release for it to work 100% with no glaring issues for me, but 40 series was also the first cards to be launched with the open drivers so it makes sense there'd be hiccups
The only issues I've had on Wayland are color related.
Does anyone else's AMD 7900 green screen?
I've experienced random stuff like that in past - not exactly the same though and not that chip.
I'd suspect power issue, either cpu and/or gpu causing a spike that results in some voltage rail to go unstable.
More likely GPU, unless your applications are really thrashing all cpu cores.
How old PSU? how much headroom? how good brand of PSU?
Might also be a motherboard power management issue.
Also - it might not hurt just to unplug and reseat every power cable.
Power supply is Corsair 750 W.
Linux 6.14.6-109.bazzite.fc42.x86_64
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (16) @ 5.58 GHz
That PSU sounds good enough to me.
Could be worth a motherboard firmware update?
and i would double check all the power cables.
It looks ike mangohud is an application to monitor stuff.
I've never used it but you could give that a go - see if you're ever getting close to the 750W.

When I use dock layout all apps shows on my homescreen but none can be removed from home screen
Default layout on the other hand doesn't show or add any installed app icon to home screen at all (even though I have enabled add newly installed icon to home screen in the setting).
Which one should I use?

If you're a 24ish barista covered in tatts, yeah I'll not think highly of your choices.
With tattos, you're not joining a team (unless it's a gang tatt, and that's a whole other situation, lol). Yet people keep getting clip art rubbish because it's cool.

Diversity, new experiences, unexpected is how life should be. I am tattooed, mine are pretty ordinary but last night someone commented on one of mine on the way out of the show. She thought it was strange, so I explained it and we had such a lovely conversation. She had recently beat cancer and was about to get her first.

This study is about the general trends of people judging others with tattoos incorrectly. It doesn't mean everyone, always, judges people incorrectly.
It also states that context matters for how accurately you judge someone. The gun, money, and the public information of his terrible actions, all change how you assess them and how accurate your assessment is.
So in your case, yes, if you judged him as a rapist because he had a birthday tattoo, you were correct. But that is anecdotal evidence. And context based.
Unless you're implying everyone with a birthday tattoo is also a sexual assaulter/rapist, which is certainly a take, then it is anecdotal and doesn't go against the studys findings.

If you are asking my opinion on the matter, I would think that a person who has their birthday tattooed on their chests has a high probability to be a narcissist. It could of course be another sentimental issue like mother dying during birth etc but nothing I could see indicated this for the particular example.
