  • Thanks - this gives me a few leads.

    I know that I’m not getting a full sandbox - that’s ok. Ultimately I’m trying to get bottles running in the hopes of getting a semi-contained environment for me to test out yabridge and getting reaper to load the vsts without crashing. (Reaper is the easy part, the plugins not so much…)

    A modicum of isolation here (even if not complete) will help me figure things out. Obviously, if I need different kernel/flags the host will get it too.

    If I unshare-devsys, will that disable audio? (I’m still trying to get a clear picture of what’s shared and what isn’t with distrobox/podman (with docker, it feels a bit more straightforward, but I’m not sure docker would be the right choice here…)





  • I’m really enjoying Fedora (just switched from Ubuntu and previously Debian). More current than Debian, doesn’t have Ubuntu’s canonical baggage, and more stable than Arch (nothing wrong with Arch, it’s just more bleeding edge than I want for anything other than experimenting. YMMV. And Arch documentation is fantastic - I use it to help unravel issues/find solutions on other distros after a bit of translation and sanity checks).

    Fedora is well inside the Gnome camp but it’s basically unaltered so you feel freer to tweak and make it your own. (you can obviously run any environment you want).

    Not sure if Red Hat’s nonsense will infect Fedora down the road but I can switch it up if I feel like it later. (for a server, I’d just do Debian or possibly Ubuntu.)

    Unfortunately, my main machine remains Windows with WSL. Too many things (of what I need) just won’t run on Linux…






  • I’m waffling between that or just setting up a bare git repo. Am prepping a VM or two to explore the pros/cons of each approach and to dive into the implications.

    It’s funny - this project idea seems to free bubbling up everywhere this past week. I’m sure I’m seeing the consequences of search algorithms, but on Lemmy, it’s nice to see what is a definite and pleasant coincidence.
