From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Folks, use Tenacity (flathub).

I feel like we should be promoting the fork that was created during the drama some years ago, rather than audacity. They really have lost faith in the community and every time they are mentioned, basically there is no love.

I just can't remember the name of the fork.

I also couldn't remember. It's probably Tenacity.

I didn’t see any issues with the dev-build-only telemetry, and I think the license issues were honest mistakes from a new company (I mean, you’d get sued for violating the license!). Especially since they have the beats and measures feature, I’m giving them another chance until they do more shady stuff.

For those, like me who entered this chat wondering why the hostility? Here is a great write up of what happened in 2021.

This version still got the data scraper in it?

The new UI and effects look stunning, but I'm concerned about the new corporate direction the project is taking

The "MuseHub 2.0" part worries me. Muse Hub is an incredibly useless and bloated launcher I didn't ask for sneakily bundled with MuseScore that constantly attempts to run in the background as if it was malware.
