This video is a great overview of the current state of audio production on Linux: youtu.be/bGpRACAuoWU. I'm far from a professional audio engineer or composer, but I've had a lot of success getting a DAW called Ardour to work for producing soundtracks for my indie games.

Every major game engine that I know of runs on Linux and can export Linux builds (Unreal, Unity, Godot, GameMaker, etc.), and I've been able to do game development just fine on my system. If you're curious how music creation might look on Linux, check this out: youtu.be/bGpRACAuoWU

This is neat. I didn't know Blender had video editing features. I might look into this sometime--Vegas gets the job done for what little editing I do, but it's always nice to have alternatives. Maybe this'll kick off my 2026 commitment to Blender early. ✨

Also this video was very helpful to me for understanding what's possible with audio production on Linux: youtu.be/bGpRACAuoWU. The video is a year old, but I assume the only major change since it was uploaded is that Pipewire has continued to improve.

This coming year, I will start cultivating a Linux rig in the studio. It will live side by side my regular windows rig, and hopefully eventually I will be doing more and more work on the Linux rig.
