State of Sound Development On Linux Not So Sorry After All

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sounds-like-improvement dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There have been past claims by Adobe and others that development on Linux is a jungle, particularly with regards to audio.

    LOL!

    Every 'bearded GNU freak' has two machines:

    1. And ideologically pure Linux machine that he posts +5 Insightful diatribes calling for blood with the smallest hint of GNU copyright infringing stories.

    2. An unspoken Windows box that he plays World of Warcraft and other games on while downloading hundreds of gigs of copyright infringing music on.
