Today, for the first time since I switched to Linux over 5 years ago, my #archlinux Z16 #thinkpad kept freezing after #gdm authentication. 😲 Apparently, because the status of `/run/user/1000` became corrupt. 🤔 1. TTY login 2. `loginctl terminate-user $USER` (cleanup sessions) 3. `systemctl restart systemd-logind` (recreating the directory) 4. `systemctl reboot` 5. Everything was back to normal Took me an hour to figure out, though. 🫣

I actually managed to squeeze in a new #linuxaudio soliloquy #video today. 😅 It was fun. 😎 The topic: “Favorite vs. Missed Plugins on Linux.” For this, I made a little jam… 🙂 #peertube link: Still uploading the 4 GB file at a painfully slow ~0.5 Mbps—will add the link later… 🫣 #youtube link: I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. 😇 #plugin #musicproduction #porttolinux #linuxsupport

I’ve been waiting weeks 🫣 to finally announce my #bitwigstudio Jungle #retreat in Koh Pha-ngan, #thailand! But today is the day! 😎 You can find all the details here:

If you ever need a decent #piano or #electricpiano (and more), there is a new and #free #linuxaudio #plugin available by Studiologic, makers of some pretty amazing #midi master keyboards, among other things. Numa Player:

Is Mastodon the primary or even only #socialmedia network you use, or is it more of a secondary option to you?
