I made the switch! Well mostly, my main PC that I use for work (audio, music, etc) is still Windows for now while I figure out if I can do what I need with Linux. 3 days ago I threw Mint on my old laptop (which I don’t use much for testing as it’s still slow, even with Linux) and wanted to use my main laptop to test for switching my PC. Unfortunately it’s a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra, which apparently has issues with Linux hardware-wise. I got everything up and running (except for the webcam which was expected) and found Ubuntu Studio, which seems to basically be Ubuntu with auto-install of a suite of audio and video programs, and a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I’ll get there to figure it out eventually).
I’ve learned a LOT. Pulling in Windows vst files through Wine and yabridge was a journey. Every time I fixed an issue and took a step forward, I encountered a new one haha. But, I got it working. I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out. The terminal is…really neat.
Anyway it’s important to me to try and learn the how/why as I go so here’s my question. Librewolf. It installs via terminal, and I’m having issues on Ubuntu Studio. I tried it on Mint and it installed fine. Ubuntu studio however throws up this error: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
I tried sudo apt-get install -f (which I think looks for missing dependencies and stuff?) but no go. Since both distros are Debian, I’m guessing the biggest difference between Mint and Ubuntu Studio is the kernel? I’ve been able to fix things with missing dependencies but I’m guessing the public key is something different?
ELI5, why does it work on Mint and not Ubuntu Studio?
Edit: Got it thanks to u/frongt I added the key and it’s all good!
Execute the following commands in terminal
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <PUBKEY>
where <PUBKEY> is your missing public key for repository, e.g. 8BAF9A6F.
Then update
sudo apt-get update
I’m in a similar situation: I have to keep a windows box around for specific audio tools and interfaces. A nice thing I’ve discovered is Sunshine (lizardbyte) and Moonlight. Sunshine is the desktop streamer that runs on the windows box, Moonlight is the client you run on the linux laptop (or android or whatever) to connect to Sunshine. I find it to be a nice solution for keeping the windows box easily accessible from my main displays/kb/mouse which are always tethered to the linux laptop. Thia streaming setup feels a lot more natural than RDP, and it’s especially useful if you need to handle any video on the windows box. The main use case is video games, so there is that too.
Interesting, I’ll look into that. It’s like having a window running Windows? I’m hoping to completely dump Windows so I’m focused on learning Bitwig and figuring out Wine/Proton for anything I need Windows programs for like vsts and games
It’s geared at streaming your gaming session from a remote pc. Extremely low latency and works like a dream. I use it to stream my gaming pc to my xbox, but it will stream anything your pc does.
You could call it that. The most direct analogy is RDP, or even a kvm. It’s a remote session to another machine, but under the hood it’s using the fast and efficient video codecs, h264 or hevc. It’s also good about piping audio from the remote machine to whatever you’re using locally.
I’m also hoping to dump windows. I spent a week trying to get my usb interface working with guitar rig running in wine bottles. I was getting nowhere with it just fell back to using the windows box remotely.
Yeah kind of, but you need to have an actual machine running windows somewhere (preferably within the same network)
A VM would be more like “a window running windows”
