      Bitwig is outstanding. I so wish there was an open source DAW that came close in stability and workflow. Zrythm crashes constantly, and the workflow in Ardour is obtuse. I can’t quite figure out how to do anything in LMMS and the other options just look so dated I’m not even tempted to try them.

        I’ve heard that many swear by reaper. I once started it and couldn’t figure out the UI at all, and the UI design just felt ancient. Didn’t give it another chance after that.

        I am using logseq at work, as I don’t have a license there. I prefer Obsidian over all alternatives I’ve tried so far. Major points are:

        • Plugins, which obsidian offers a lot
        • File structure, obsidian stores all notes in a directory tree of markdown files. You can sync this with any service you like: GIT, Syncthing, manually, whatever you like.
        • I don’t really get the journaling format of logseq, why does every note have to be a point in a hierarchy?

        I’m checking the community out. Bitwig has a great look and feel, and they support native Linux with many audio systems. It’s something worth my bucks.

        The rule no tux no bux applies in reverse.

        It is closed source. I haven seen any partial source code anywhere either. Licensing is very generous: free forever for personal use, you only need to get a license at 50$ per year if you are a commercial user. There is also a 2 week trial for commercial users.

        Of course, besides legality, there is nothing stopping you from using obsidian for commercial things, they don’t do any checking for that stuff.
