Then what do you use?

This is a nice image. Mind if i save it?
>>51827750
yes, it's proprietary
>>51827745
For what? If I needed to manipulate something I'd choose Photoshop over GIMP any day. I use LilyView for image viewing (though it does scale images poorly, for non-critical applications it's OK) and iBooks for reading. Don't really have a need for Preview.

>>51827849
I could've expensed both to my job but I don't really have any qualms giving a few bucks to developers and I'm willing to pay for the convenience of not having to pirate things
There's a limit to this though, and it's just about $20. I pirate all the 'expensive' software I use.
>>51827912
Melt-Banana are great
>>51827896
That seems pretty reasonable. Part of me wants to shell out for Renoise, but then I remember that I don't write music with the equipment I have. It's a bargain, though.
>>51827896
I do pay for a few music software
>>51827924
yes. they're playing here with melvins and napalm death in april 2016 :D
Feeling for some Jdilla.

>>51827937
I've actually though about purchasing Ableton after 6+ years of using cracked copies. Getting a Push would be cool, I think. I've had loads of music making hardware over the years, but could never bring myself to pay for my DAW or plugins.
>>51827962
I think they're bringing that same show here. I don't really know Napalm Death but a Melvins-Melt-Banana double billing would be good enough already.

You should only pay for real professional grade software instead of "lemonade stand" projects. Doing what you do only encourages CS grads with an understanding of the market as it was in the 90s to avoid getting real jobs.
On my wangblows setup today. R8 or H8.
>>51828026
I know what you mean but it's only recently that I had the capital to even consider it. I don't think I'll ever shell out for the Creative Suite or anything, but I am interested in paying for a DAW at some point.
My company will pay for any software I need in my professional life but my dev environment is basically all free software.
>>51827993
I use Tutka instead, and it's really cool. If you still have one of those s760s, you should try sequencing with it.
>>51828026

I sold all my gear before I moved to California because I was staying with a friend for a bit and didn't have room for any of it. I'm going to start rebuilding my setup though. Copped a new Mackie mixer recently, and now I'm looking for the right deal on an Emax or E6400 Ultra to restart my sampler collection.
Tutka looks neat. I've never used a tracker-style sequencer.
>>51828075
I hope this guy means free as in xcode and not free as in ancient text editors
>>51828075
reaper is a cheap DAW and do the job. it used to be 'freeware' before
I have pro tools but it came with my audio interface
>>51828129
I use vim
>>51828134
I'd never be able to migrate off Ableton. I've flirted with just about every other major DAW (not Reaper, admittedly) and just couldn't find my flow. Even Bitwig didn't feel right.

>>51828881
Openbox is better for ricing since you have more things to actually rice whereas on i3 you can only change the bar and border colors and that's pretty much it.
I prefer i3 for the multi monitor and tiling support, I installed openbox multihead and even though it allows 2 workspaces when you have 2 monitors it still doesn't take care of the issue with the margins, like if you set a margin on every side and then maximize the window then you won't have a margin on the left side if your second monitor is on the left side. I've heard that you can tile openbox but I'm not really sure how to do that and I assume it's not a part of the default functionality.
I haven't even explored openbox that much to be honest, I just play around with it every now and then.
In general, if I had one monitor I'd probably consider openbox but for now I'll stick with i3 as my default.
>>51828861

You'll probably need to change the fonts, or install the ones I used. Sadboy has a better solution that involves js if you can get him to share it.

You need i3-gaps, but there's no downside to it as far as I know. It's just i3 with gaps.

>>51830930
>>51830956
honestly not that bad dude
>>51831084
he should try something other than urxvt. even xterm's font rendering is slightly better, depending on the font.
but a VTE-based term is really your best bet for good font rendering on linux
>>51831108
Cousine is gud
>>51831117

as long as you set it up correctly, urxvt is fine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sTN9ozglRo
>>51831126
if there was no difference there's something very wrong with your font rendering, or you're using a font that's more "durable" across different rendering styles

Because it certainly does act on changes made in fontconfig.

The lowercase l's, i's, and w's are different, so they're definitely different terminals. I'd have to guess that right is urxvt. You could have picked a less shitty font in the first place.

I would like to play a fun game for the Linux operating system. I don't want to spend a lot of time on it though, but also I want it to reward grinding/effort, and I don't want it to be multiplayer because other people are intimidating. I would play a roguelike game, but I don't like it when you die and lost all your progress. There's also no anime pictures in those. What game should I download and play--or should I just get an emulator and play Final Fantasy 6? Thanks for reading, and G-d bless

>>51831576
why is your terminal so big

ahh I see it now
so which one is which and why does it matter
I think all this proves is that if there actually is a difference, you'd have to be literally autistic to even notice or care about it
>>51831621
we still don't even know which one is xterm
and there's nothing clear as to which one is objectively better, the right side w has ~5 pixels that are darker, and the i on the left side has ~7 pixels that are slightly darker
if you zoom in super duper close you might notice it
