[03:34] Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!! [03:34] Is there a way for me to replace the Android OS on my Galaxy Tab A with Ubuntu??? [03:40] doc_holiday2112[: Unlikely, sadly, Android devices (and even non-Android Samsung devices) are sometimes notoriously difficult to get Ubuntu installed on. You might look into the Termux Android app on F-Droid, that might give you something close to what you're looking for, and you may even be able to run Ubuntu inside it. [03:40] (Also you probably want #ubuntu:libera.chat, not this channel.) [17:20] Looking for a soundcard that works well with Ardour and Ubuntu studio. Please share your experiences.... [19:21] Personally, can't go wrong with the Behringer U-Phoria series. [20:19] Behringer seems to have vanished/changed policies about who they sell through. The big music dealer in Canada (L & M) no longer carries their products and only has old stock for sale (reduced). [20:21] https://musictech.com/news/gear/music-tribe-factory-direct/ [20:23] Their statement: “As a consequence, this unfortunately disqualifies all small brick-and-mortar stores and traditional distributors, as serving them adds little value and increases cost,” [20:25] Is totally bogus and to call L&M small (they own Traynor amongst others) just shows stupidity. For many people having a local warranty centre where one can in an emergency take the device in and have a replacement that day while theirs is fixed is a must. [20:29] Agreed. Seems like they're pulling out of Guitar Center then too. [20:29] However, Amazon is where I've ordered from in the past anyhow. [20:30] For an audio iinterface that is not bad, for a live mixer (X32), it is unacceptable. [20:31] Basically, it doesn't fly for any live use equiment unless one is rich enough tp own two or three :) [20:33] L&M's warranty has been very good (mini 1 year carry in, can buy more by the year so long as you keep it going) and their prices are as good as on line or sometimes better. [20:48] I hope they plan to contract/deploy on-site technicians, because I know of a church that has at least two M32s that will need servicing eventually. [20:50] Also, I try to keep my X-touch in immaculate condition because I really don't want to worry about it breaking down, so it stays under dust cover unless I'm using it.
