Bloatynosy has now evolved into BloatynosyAI and it can disable AI features on Windows 11 or Microsoft Edge that a user may consider as bloatware. This new app works on Windows 10 as well.
JACK is very cool and if you’re willing to tinker there’s some really awesome stuff that can be done with LADISH session management and e.g. native Linux VSTs.
It’s still a non-option for musicians who just want to do music, not tinkering.
I was mostly referring to the latency. RTOS kernel prioritizes timing over performance, so it should be right up your alley when it comes to music handling. I know it has been used in some instruments and mixers.
Jack is kind of iffy to tinker around I agree, however PipeWire, which is these days standard on up to date distributions should handle latency much much better without any great need for tinkering as it supports all the interfaces of Jack, PulseAudio and others. So you can just use whichever application you want and you get low latency backend regardless.
Things are improving at a rather fast pace in Linux world and even giving developers feedback is a useful contribution.
Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn’t help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren’t there.
If you’re intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you’re fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.
But you can’t reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.
Driver issues aside, have you played with JACK on RTOS kernel?

Am not expecting anything. Am just wondering how people in the industry are fairing with recent changes.
