Microsoft is a #Linux company, and it just proved it by releasing its first mainstream Linux distribution: Azure Linux 4.0.

I asked Push and Groove if their FILTRONIX plugin will also be available for Linux.

Here is their response:
"Yes, absolutely. I am currently working on it and planning to release both Linux and Mac versions within this month. Please stay tuned!"

Ok, just purchased a simple dedicated laptop (7730U with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD) to do - finally and again - some testing with Linux.

I would like to run Bitwig Studio at first and perhaps Reaper as well. Most lightweight would be nice to try as also a version with some more dedicated apps and a more streamlined user experience.

I was thinking of Mint / Ubuntu - but perhaps there better alternatives nowadays? Does anyone (in my feed perhaps) has some tips?

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-…

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

^{Daniel Milnes (Fedora Project)}

Thanks to AI, hackers quickly discovered new vulnerabilities such as CopyFail, DirtyFrag, and Fragnesia. They use LLMs to analyse Linux, finding and exploiting the security flaws faster than ever. The expertise required to hack is at an all-time low.

The Fedora Project decided to explain which precautions are being put in place to protect your system:

#Sitral #Klangfilter #w295 by #KorneffAudio just got an update.

This #EQ #vst3 #Plugin (also for #Linux) wants to change your sound in a sweet way suitable for mastering and stuff, emulating vintage #Siemens EQ circuitry.

I have been using it in productions already. It was good, but very hungry on the CPU. #Korneff state that with this update, they made it more efficient regarding CPU usage.

The SITRAL Klangfilter W295 is an exact digital replica of one of the best sounding and best-made analog equalizers. Use it for vocals, guitars, brass, bass, drums, the master bus. It’s delicious. From Korneff Audio.
