Yes, there are SONGS about the Linux' boss Finn Linus Torvalds. Without this fellow the world of computing would be rather dire and oppressive. Filmed on location in Helsinki / Finland.

In 2004 Yamaha debuted the AD8HR AD Converter. The 8-channel AD8HR provides head amplifier circuitry inherited from the acclaimed Yamaha PM5000 analog mixing console and supports sampling rates of up to 96kHz. Up to 255 of these chonky blue boys can be daisy-chained together using a standard 9-pin RS422 and provide digital out via AES/EBU. All this could be had for the low low MSRP of $2,200. While that might sound pricey it was a bargain compared to offerings from Aphex, Grace, Rocknet and others. In 2021 you can yoink a used AD8HR for a under $300 and that got me thinking. Can I find a way to get it working with Linux for under a $1000? This is my story. Source: https://linuxgamecast.com/2021/03/interfacing-linux-yamaha-ad8hr/

It's surprising how their policies, practices, products etc. can be a source for good laughs, too. Interested in Linux? A fine example place to start: https://destinationlinux.network/

This is a great and couraging video to all who are looking for COMPUTING FREEDOM and are sick of these usual suspects such as Microsoft / Google / Apple. To clarify though: he kinda fell for some unexperienced user traps: Excepts some very rare cases: a Linux user should NEVER download software from some * random * website. On Linux, people use the safe and tested software center resources and also new software sources can be added. Steam only shows NATIVE Linux support in the store. What most people talked about with Linux gaming was Proton (Steam's compatibility tech to play Windows-only games). To check if a game has a Proton support (and of what grade) go to https://www.protondb.com/ If you want to enable Proton to play Windows-only games on Linux: go to Steam Settings > Steam Play > check both boxes that say "enable Steam Play". Generally, Firefox is a pretty common way to go in Linux world, BUT if one prefers a Google browser such as Chrome: Linux users opt for Chromium browser more like it, NOT necessarily Chrome: Chrome is but a carbon copy (Google literally used the Chromium source code, changed the logo and added some plugins) of it, with worse Linux integration (as it is closed source and proprietary). Comparing Linux-distros to Androids is an understatement. You can have distros, with a totally different user interface (even without any user interface), different Software packages or whole different concepts of what an operating system even is. As what he chose here, Ubuntu, is a great choice for all kinds of users. Professionals use it. Beginners love it. It has the backing of Canonical. Ubuntu's developers get actually paid. It's refreshing to see the perspective of somebody, who's new and not just imagining! There are also some other advantages, too * All software from the Ubuntu Software is updated in one button press. No constant pop-ups telling you to update manually from each software individually. * Performance of native apps; less overhead. * The terminal is a great TOOL if you start learning it. Things can be done quicker through it. It is not really necessary though! You own your computer. in Linux. It will do whatever you want, if you give it the command, it will do it. No Microsoft's harassment, unwilling to accept, that you DON'T WANT that damn Candycrush on your gaming PC and keeps repeaditly reinstalling it. Enjoy Linux! It is here to stay and means a new world of possibilities and that sweet computer freedom. Video source: https://youtu.be/_h1uJ2iUa1k (please tell him about LBRY / Odysee?).
