Love a tracker! I saw people running dirtywave M8 headless on a steam deck. Needs a teensy connected and some packages/config, nearly tried it myself but got a preorder for a M8 instead.

Depending on what method of suspend you are employing, it could be due to lack of sufficient swap space. That’s a common problem.

Without more info this is a good best guess. However, Instead of the graphics card I would suspect an undersized swap space to support hibernation.

Learned about the importance of trailing slashes in rsync by using the -delete flag.

Ableton’s Push 3 standalone runs Linux too. Same gripe about their DAW as well.

Edited my response to be more helpful.

If you’re not opposed to it, it’s in the AUR.

Edit: Sorry a more helpful answer is that you can likely find it in manjaro’s add/remove software application. Optionally, From the command line you would execute pamac search syncterm if it exists pamac install syncterm

Here’s the documentation for enabling AUR: https://docs.manjaro.org/activating-the-aur-and-building-packages-with-pamac/

Lived through the 90s when the import car scene was huge. The term ricing back then was used when referring to asians who modified their cars, as a pejorative.

It really bummed me out to see it creep into the Linux community. Tried voicing displeasure back when I used Reddit and got blasted with downvotes and really distasteful comments, felt like I was alone in this feeling. Thanks, from some random Asian Linux user.

More recently, The Dø there is something really special about this performance. This version of Hangover is much better than the recorded version in my opinion.

All of the Blogotheque videos are pretty incredible, something for almost anyone to find compelling.

This is it. It’s not the worlds most well written book, but its repetitiveness and concepts are effective. Worked for me.

What distro do you use at work? Using that at home would benefit you professionally as well. I’d start there unless it’s redhat.

I like restic, haven’t seen it mentioned yet.

Voyager, mostly because it’s similar to Apollo, a very popular app for Reddit, in many ways. As I was an Apollo user, it is nice to have some of the features replicated.

Hey, I’ve been a drummer for over 30 years. When I started I got a practice pad. That was really the only option outside of a full set and it worked well. You’ll need to build your fundamentals with rudiments that you can apply on a full kit. This takes some time. That’s not to say you can’t jump into a drum set right away, but I can be a frustrating starting point and as you point out, expensive.

As a work around you can set up other objects around your pad and tap your feet to get a feel for coordination on a full set. Once you’ve made some progress and reach the level of uncontrollable tapping on random objects and air drumming day and night, it’s probably a good indicator you’re in deep and probably need to invest in something.

I will add that buying an electronic kit was the best decision I made, and I wish I had done it earlier, and not been such a purist. The main reason being, I can practice more often, and it provides a more drum like experience.

For a first pad there’s lots of options, gum rubber is a favorite, there are some multi surface pads that you may also want to try, if you want to pretend you’re playing on the worlds tiniest kit. For sticks, start with marching drum sticks or “corps” sticks and get a pair of 5A or 5Bs. Work with the corps sticks for a few months and bring in the smaller sticks to get used to those too. The larger sticks will help you build strength and are over all easier to work with. All this should be obtainable for under $100 USD.

Good luck and hope you enjoy drumming!
