| holstein | _DB: ubuntustudio comes with mostly what you would need for audio production out of the box | 03:10 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | _DB: its all in the main repo, though.. all the software | 03:10 |
| holstein | _DB: i suggest, just installing what you need into the flavor you use | 03:11 |
| acerimmer | _DB, for example, ubuntustudio-audio is the meta-pack of the default audio apps and can be added to any *buntu | 03:13 |
| _DB | well tbh Im looking for something that handles audio , sketching / texture (gimp is pretty bad) and screen recording | 03:16 |
| _DB | I like the filters photoshop has I havent seen to many programs that have filters quite as good as it | 03:16 |
| _DB | as for 3d modelling wings 3d runs on linux so i could get that on there | 03:16 |
| holstein | _DB: sure, but *all* distros "handle" audio | 03:16 |
| _DB | ahh cool cool | 03:17 |
| holstein | _DB: ubuntustuduio has JACK at the core of all the applications.. mostly *any* linux audio distro will but, its mostly overkill for most purposes | 03:17 |
| _DB | wasnt aware I used ubuntu 3 years ago werent many programs for it | 03:17 |
| holstein | _DB: if you dont need jack, then, in my opnion, you dont need ubuntustuduio or an audio specific distro | 03:17 |
| holstein | _DB: the repos are *filled* with programs | 03:17 |
| _DB | a friend recommended lmms lets make music | 03:18 |
| holstein | _DB: always have been.. now, there may be applications you want/need, that are not made for ubuntu, but, ubuntu is not preventing that from happening | 03:18 |
| holstein | _DB: lmms is great at what it does | 03:18 |
| _DB | yeah I saw some videos on it , its what im looking for | 03:19 |
| holstein | its in the repos.. | 03:19 |
| holstein | and you dont need jack to use it | 03:19 |
| _DB | ahh cool! perfect | 03:19 |
| holstein | but, i still say, if all you want is lmms and gimp and some other video application, you dont need ubuntustudio | 03:19 |
| _DB | no doubt | 03:19 |
| holstein | i say that, because, its a small niche community | 03:19 |
| _DB | i hear ya | 03:20 |
| holstein | if you use, for example, main ubuntu, you have a *lot* community members for support | 03:20 |
| holstein | lots of them programming, etc.. | 03:20 |
| holstein | here, its just a few of us using jack and ardour.. and its likely you dont even need a large DAW like ardour | 03:20 |
| holstein | and theres nothing wrong with that :) | 03:20 |
| holstein | _DB: are you currently using main ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| _DB | no I use windows right now, I bought this pc on christmas day | 03:21 |
| _DB | but its windows 8 which sucks | 03:21 |
| holstein | i would see if you can return it, and get a machine from someone like system76 | 03:22 |
| holstein | someone that provides official support for the operating system you are tryihng to use | 03:22 |
| _DB | but I need something that can run unity & unreal as well as photoshop | 03:22 |
| _DB | ive heard I could do that which virtual machine but its a bit to much of a hassle | 03:23 |
| holstein | nothing about ubuntu is preventing any of that.. nothing about ubuntu or linux | 03:23 |
| _DB | yeah I hear that | 03:24 |
| holstein | im a big advocate of speaking honestly about linux.. lots of folks seem to try and sell it like its magic | 03:25 |
| holstein | linux works great.. as advertised.. but, so does windows, really.. i mean, win8 works as adveristed, and if you need it, you need it | 03:25 |
| holstein | i dont, so i dont use it | 03:25 |
| holstein | but, a team of experts were hired to make sure that your hardware there would run windows 8 well | 03:25 |
| holstein | you have a much different arrangement with ubuntu | 03:26 |
| holstein | where, you hare promised windows support, and may not be able to, or encouraged to put any other OS's on the hardware | 03:26 |
| _DB | well my pc is nothing special really 500 gb HD , dual core processor and 4 gb ram | 03:26 |
| holstein | that can make supporting ubuntu challenging | 03:26 |
| _DB | but I see what youre getting at installing ubuntu may not work out as planned | 03:27 |
| holstein | if i needed photoshop, i would want to run it natively, on a windows partition, and i would be planning to move to native linux alternatives | 03:27 |
| holstein | _DB: well, there is not even a plan ;) you see? | 03:27 |
| _DB | true | 03:27 |
| holstein | ubuntu is *great*, and works well.. but, there is litle it can do to force your hardware to support it, if it doesnt | 03:28 |
| holstein | and it may, right out of the box.. | 03:28 |
| holstein | but, if you are used to using windows, and didnt install *any* os on the hardware, you have a much differnt experience you are about to take on | 03:28 |
| holstein | you literally took the machine out of the box and pushed the button and win8 was running.. *now*, you must install ubuntu, and set it up and provide driver support if needed | 03:29 |
| holstein | not a big deal in most cases.. and you can usually find out all you need from running a live iso | 03:29 |
| _DB | yeah ive installed ubuntu before and it worked right out of the box | 03:30 |
| _DB | but this time is different since unity only runs on windows | 03:30 |
| _DB | and I heard it runs extremely slow via virtual machine or wine | 03:30 |
| holstein | _DB: unity is the desktop for ubuntu | 03:30 |
| holstein | _DB: you dont need windows to run unity | 03:30 |
| _DB | what? | 03:31 |
| _DB | Unity the game development engine? | 03:31 |
| holstein | _DB: unity is also the main de for ubuntu | 03:31 |
| holstein | _DB: i dont know antyhing about the game IDE | 03:31 |
| holstein | _DB: again, nothing about ubuntu prevents unity from running on it | 03:32 |
