FL Studio is gone.

I have no claim to fame unless playing a lot of Death Stranding counts.

FL Studio is gone.

Posted by DreamHollow - September 6th, 2024

I didn't get a chance to tell anyone, but I have no idea when new music is coming.

I was previously using this weird computer setup where I could run both Windows and Linux but Microsoft did an oopsie and really trashed the ability for Windows and Linux to exist on the same computer.

Basically, my only working copy of FL Studio was on Windows. But my Windows OS got trashed when it was starting to cause other problems with my computer.

I really, really, REALLY prefer Linux over Windows so there's no way in heck I'm reinstalling Windows just to be able to do certain things again.

I'm very reluctantly going to admit I've probably made all the music I possibly can, the other DAW alternatives to FL Studio just aren't working very well for me.

RIP making music as a hobby.

That's so unfortunate, I'm so sorry for you. I hope you have a chance to make music again in the future if you still want to do it.

God, that's terrible. Dual-booting is always risky for exactly that reason. Hopefully you've got backups of all your stuff (even if you can't use your raw fl-studio files anymore).

Even as a Linux nerd myself I can't give you any solutions, but I know how it feels because animation software on Linux is equally hot garbage (my only options are: a paint program with animation tacked-on, a video editor, a 3D modelling software, and an animation app with the worst UI in existence).

In those cases, I think your best bet is to just grab another PC that'll do the job, install Windows 7 (get an extended kernel patch if you need to), and almost never connect that sucker to the internet. Because for as neat as VMs and Wine are, they're not good enough to be Windows replacements.

That or beg Image-Line to high heaven to make a Linux port of FL-studio, but I don't think that'll go anywhere.

Best of luck with your endeavours.

FL Studio is gone.
