Obsidian for note taking, Bitwig studio for audio recording and processing.
TIL Obsidian isn't FOSS!
Absolutely love Obsidian.
isnβt obsidian open source?
Nope it's not. It's free, but you can only look at part of the source code and can't look at the proprietary parts. Logseq is completely FOSS though
damn, thatβs kind of a bummer since i love it so much. logseq looks exciting, how does it compare to obsidian feature-wise?
Did you check logseq? It's on flathub
I am using logseq at work, as I don't have a license there. I prefer Obsidian over all alternatives I've tried so far. Major points are:
I really like the obsidian file structure. It makes me feel more secure because even though Obsidian isn't FOSS, all my files are backed up and in my control. Sure, my various plugin nick-nacks and doo-dads would stop working if I had to migrate everything away from Obsidian, but the meat of the content would still be there
Logseq has genuinely made me a less stupid person. It's confusing to learn, but the ceiling for articulating and organising your thoughts and knowledge base is insanely high. Other apps kind of feel like I'm fighting the limitations of my tools in order to organise a mental library of where to find information.
logseq definitely coming along. I tried their donation only sync and it seems to mostly work.
That said nothing has beaten Standardnotes for me. Standardnotes can be found on flathub, fdroid etc. The only drawback is to get the important features you need to either selfhost or buy the plan. The free service is very barebones
Obsidian is amazing. It also feels open-source lol; I thought it was at first.
Maybe because the plugins are, and the notes you make with it are plain markdown files.
It absolutely feels like FOSS. But it's actually not. Closed source, but free for personal use.
I love Bitwig. Linux support too!
!bitwig@lemmy.studio is dead but I'm hoping to change that soon!
I'm checking the community out. Bitwig has a great look and feel, and they support native Linux with many audio systems. It's something worth my bucks.
The rule no tux no bux applies in reverse.
I did rent to own via Splice so I get two years of updates for the price of one (just spread out).
Bitwig is outstanding. I so wish there was an open source DAW that came close in stability and workflow. Zrythm crashes constantly, and the workflow in Ardour is obtuse. I can't quite figure out how to do anything in LMMS and the other options just look so dated I'm not even tempted to try them.
