i kinda wish that some people who post security vulns stop being so vague and cherry-picky sometimes, like you could have written in your post that it only affects windows and it affects only a certain range of versions of the program. would have clearned things up better imo. interesting to know, though.

Tails my beloved

was too incompetent to install arch one time so i used archinstaller and created a separate home partition. couple years later that root partiton’s close to filled up, and i do an update after deleting come programs to free up space. then some weird text appeaerrs in terminal, and so i try to update again (this time specifically wine), says loads of files already exist in filesystem. i think “this is weird”, so i restart.

what instantly gets my attention is this text greeting me on boot

loading Linux linux… error: file ‘/vmlinuz-linux’ not found. Loading initial ramdisk… error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue.

yup, i just borked my install, so i hastily whipped out an outdated arch USB, updated it using a spare laptop and am now on a reinstall (luckily i keep the important files on a separate drive, so not all is lost). extra insult to injury was that my previous install had my drive LUKS encrypted, so i couldn’t evne get in there to possibly backup anything if i tried lol. but it’s feels refreshing starting anew though.

you can also search for the song on a search engine and just type deezer at the end of it, then get the link that way.

Plus they’re Israeli. Says everything you need to know.

ye i’d also look up Redcurrant and STR-X as well. I often use the HyBrit amp sim with a boost pedal in front (like the NA Clon Centuar or the TSE-999)

The biggest punchline of all of this is that our tax dollars are paying for this propaganda. Not in my name.

ahh, the sponsor from LTT that mined your PC while at idle :)

ye this is weird. do you have any other wine packages installed (like mono, gecko, and corefonts?) i remember installing them (and i think .net framework and visual c++ as well) before installing FL Studio.

if all that fails then idk, i’m just as stumped as you. wine can be a bit hit or miss, especially on certain setups.

Wow, those are some pretty glaring issues. Have you checked your winecfg? I have mine on Windows 10 (and probably make sure yours is too. If it’s on XP, change it to 10). What WINE version are you running? (i’m on 8.13)

If that doesn’t fix it then i’m kinda stumped.

Heard certain Nvidia cards can cause issues (i’m on an AMD rx570). Don’t know if it could be related but ye those are quite the rendering issues.

I use FL Studio on Arch with mostly VST2 plugins and it runs pretty well. Only thing that is a little gripe is VST3 plugins (the GUI doesn’t update when you’re tweaking parameters). Generally VST plugins in FL Studio work pretty well for me.

I use free plugins which either come in a zip file or an .msi installer. There were some plugins which required a “Software Center” program to install, and yes, those are very tedious (I’d say even on windows). Truly hate those things.

I’ve had a couple plugins which have had certain GUI elements missing, but that’s the only extent. (one example is a spring reverb plugin which doesn’t render the knobs, but thankfully they have a shadow so i can still figure out where they are).

What sort of plugins are you using? Certain copy protection might be a bit harder to run on WINE than others. (Especially iLok, that thing seems like a pain).

mfs too lazy to use the onion smh. yeah it’s a little slow but it’s the best way to use zlib.

imo i liked the fact that it looked like Windows XP-era Outlook (not that i used it), i just liked the simplicity of it and the legibility. With 115 now it just seems poorly put together.

for instance, the buttons for messages have now moved to the pane where your accounts and folders are, Get messages is now just a little cloud icon in the left, and New message gets all the spotlight for some reason. it just looks like someone just slapped things together with no rhyme or reason, it’s inconsistent.

i liked the prior spaces update because you could just hide it into a little toolbar. Now they have a bar that when you get rid of it, it just messes with the position of the window buttons. not a good look imo.

it’s still a good client though.

the issue with hiding the system window toolbar is that it puts a border around the window buttons, which is inconsistent with other programs. kind of a shame they did this redesign, as get messages and new message are now lopsided and send gets more piority. it just looks like it was poorly put together in photoshop or something.

and i kinda see what they were going for this redesign but honestly it’s too much imo, it’s trying to make thunderbird something it’s not.

after all we chose thunderbird because of its oldschool look, now they’ve kinda ruined it. still going to be using it though.
