  • Mixxx is alright but I prefer the robustness and simplicity of Serato. And my turntables technically are MIDI controllers. Fully digital and no needle or DVS interface needed. But spins and behaves just like real vinyl. I don’t like controllers with static jogwheels, which limits my selection when it comes to MIDI hardware. I’ve considered real turntables but they are out of my budget. And they can be finicky when using them with DJ software.

    Because I don’t want to run hardware that needs to operate in realtime over a USB 2.0 connection through a VM. I have digital turntables with high-resolution platters. These are precision instruments that require the absolute lowest DPC latency obtainable; I need to eliminate as much overhead as I can, and have my equipment running as close to the bare metal as I can get from a modern OS.

    Hell yeah, another HDR lover on Lemmy! Now there’s two of us!

    That’s the main reason why I use Win11 as my primary OS. 10’s HDR support is half-assed, and KDE’s is even worse. Linux doesn’t even support nVidia GPUs properly, so SDR-to-HDR conversion is missing for both YouTube and local videos. And since Win10 doesn’t have AutoHDR for games, that leaves 11 as my only choice if I want to play games and watch videos in HDR with minimal hassle.

    (edit: And yes I know that converting to HDR isn’t as good as real HDR; but IDC cause it looks amazing to me, especially in the highlights.)

    I would but my DJ gear is over a decade old and none of it is compatible with Linux. It won’t even run on a modern CPU without crashing Serato, so I use an old laptop with a 4th gen i5 running LTSC to power my turntables and mixer; it all runs smooth as butter on period-correct hardware.

    Eventually I will get new gear and try to get it working in Linux, but I don’t have thousands to drop right now on updated hardware, so I make do with what I have.
