noboilerplate VS awesome-linuxaudio

NoBoilerplate [1] is a great Rust-oriented YouTube channel that's less tutorial and more of a tour of the strengths and foibles of the language. The videos are a great springboard, because they are entertaining as much as informative and inject a bit of hype and hope for when you're battling the compiler.

I make videos for folks like you! And if you want to read, well my markdown is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/blob/main/scripts/24-rust-data-modelling.md

YouTubers I found very helpful: - https://www.youtube.com/c/LetsGetRusty - https://www.youtube.com/@codetothemoon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygL_xcavzQ4&t=1020s&ab_channel=DerekBanas - https://www.youtube.com/c/NoBoilerplate

I pull out all the rust examples into main.rs with literate, and the same with the Cargo.toml. My makefile is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate

My friend Tris has mentioned many times how positive his experience has been of the comments on his wildly popular Rust videos on YouTube.

> Is there a highly-regarded software (or hardware + software) emulator for the DX7?

Dexed is probably what you're looking for, although there are others here: https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio#synthesizers--...

These are not all free, but it's worth checking out. https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio

regarding Ableton, I know some people are doing it but my advice is don't go for proton/wine if you can go native. there's tons of pro soft for linux: https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio

This awesome-linuxaudio page has a number of quality programs that you can try.

I think the landscape is fairly good now actually. There's tons of good FOSS audio software, and for commercial DAWs we have Bitwig, REAPER, Renoise and Tracktion Waveform. And while there stil aren't that many commercial plugin developers out there that natively support Linux, you can get really far nowadays with the offerings from Bitwig, U-He, TAL, AudioDamage, Loomer, Pianoteq, Audio Assault and many more vendors. You can find are some non-exhaustive lists of vendors supporting Linux here, here and here. Since I too don't want to make compromises if I don't have to, I made yabridge last year which lets you use 32-bit and 64-bit Windows VST2 and VST3 as if they were native 64-bit Linux VST2 and VST3 plugins. I'm really happy with how that turned out, and the reception has been nothing but positive. Wine's getting really good, and the only things that can consistently make things difficult are invasive DRM schemes like iLoK and Waves' DRM. But yeah, even without yabridge there are plenty of good native DAWs and plugins for Linux right now.
