Linux and audio pro 3818

That's it, place the blame on the person instead of the program. When Cubase for Windows was first released it had many problems. I don't recall seeing such venom released from the professional community when people using the program complained. We all knew it needed some work and more importantly we didn't attack people who posted their troubles with the program. We worked together and now Cubase spawned Nuendo and these are excellent programs that are used professionally every single day.
The Linux community really needs to learn something about social skills especially since it is the community itself that is supporting and flag waving for Linux. IOW you guys need every body you can find and making yourselves look like idiots is no way to garner support.
Maybe to you and your needs it isn't but when compared to Protools etc Ardour IS a toy.

The other person claims useage of all those programs including Ardour, professionally, and in my book that counts a heck of a lot more than your claims.
And how do you know the other person doesn't know what he is talking about? The same could be said of you and quite frankly there is a lot more evidence to support the latter.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Look, my brother is a carpenter by trade and all of his tools are professional quality. He cringes when he sees my mostly "Harbor Freight" specials. Yet these tools work for me. They, mostly, would fall apart if he had to use them 12 hours a day building custom homes.
The same thing applies to programs like Ardour. What you don't seem to understand is that a crash during your editing your cousin suzies wedding with your onboard soundchip is a PITA.
John You don't know much about free software. The first version of Linux was written by a guy piddling about in their spare time. Now IBM, HP and others sell Linux based...
A crash when I am tracking 32 tracks LIVE is the potential end of my relationship with that client.
How do you know that? Do you know the other person? You may know about Linux, but you sure as hell don't know anything about pro-audio and that is what this thread is about. See the breastle?
You do realize that you have been posting to a group that consists of people who are professionals in the audio field and many of whom have been doing this long before Linux was invented?
You do realize that you look like an idiot posting your Linux drivel in a group where people make a living doing professional audio?
Like I said, you may know something about Linux, but you know zero about professional audio and it's painfully obvious.
P.S. I'm getting sick and tired of these Linux lunatics preaching in groups where they don't belong. It's almost like the Moonies that used to be soliciting at the airports back in the 70's. Most of these people seem to be on a mission of nastiness and god help the person who disagrees with them.
Noah Roberts Put it this way...if you don't like it then you can always buy something else. At least you don't have to spend $500 to find that out. If someday you...
Sorry for the rant :(
