  • But I run a summer festival on linux!

    • Tech drawings on QCad
    • Lights & previz on MagicQ
    • Emails etc on firefox

    Our media servers are W7 (!) but I access them with VNC. And lots of screens/beamers here are on PI computers.

    …then of course we need a windows laptop for the wireless mics, for the FoH configuration, the videowall, stuff like that. Mails and docs are google anyway, remote access is teamviewer.

    I can’t run it all on linux, even if I sit at a linux computer the most.

    I built an entire theatre using Linux. Architect was on autocad, that was alright, but engineering was on vectorworks & there I had to ask for .dxf exports.

    Qlab (macos) is 100% a no-go, I actually own a macbook just for this piece of software.

    Isadora runs on wine, but video play is problematic. Isadora is a video mapper/VJ/mixing software.

    Of the big three of lighting console software, only Chamsys’ MagicQ runs on Linux. Infuriating when you know Grand MA consoles are linux-based. ETC? Don’t ask.

    It’s niche (how about Enttec or DMXKing interfaces configurator?) but it’s my niche. I survive doing things differently, and, yes, owning a dual-boot AsahiLinux/MacOS device.

    Proton I guess? First tier is free, it’s encrypted, your data is protected by Swiss privacy laws… There’s an app for your phone and also a single VPN account as well.

    They don’t have a linux client for their Drive storage solution so I am mad at them but it may fit the ticket for you.




  • Hang on to your suspenders: I wear crocs 24/7/365

    Summer, rain, snow, work, whatever. A pair lasts about 2 years now, in the past they where more sturdy. After a while you’re going to, first, slip on wet surfaces because of the sole being completely bald, then you’ll go through and get wet feet (or a rusty nail).

    It so lightweight, so flickable away, once you start you can’t come back. I always get the “crocband clogs” in red, they don’t have lateral holes which, yeah, is more practical irl when you daily them.
