Which Distro for Theatrical Use?
  • Thanks for the great advice. I have been thinking of moving to apple a lot, but actually I am very tempted to the open source ideology that's so strong in linux.

  • Hello community,

    I am tired of windows slowing down my laptop, and I tought I'd give linux a chance. So I learn, that there are many linuxes, and I wonder if it really matters. which one to choose. Can all linux apps be run on all distributions? Is it just a matter of the 'app store' supporting them or not?

    I am producing media art for theatre plays. So I have to rely on a stable system as well as the following tools:

    • Blender 3d
    • a DAW
    • Design Software (adobe alternatives)
    • Video Editing & compositing
    • Projection mapping (I fear, there is just mapmap under linux)
    • audio cuing (linux show player)
    • maybe also light show programming (artnet / dmx)

    The machine would be a Gigabyte Aero 15x with a dedicated nvidia gfx card, and 8 gigs of ram.

    What would you recommend me?

    Hello community. I am new with blender, and this is my first post here. I have the following task to master:

    I have a CSV-File with 1000 Names. I would like to spread those Names somehow randomly in space. It would be nice for them to be 3D, and not just be flat.

    As a bonus, I would like those names to be connected by lines.

    I would then animate a Camera flying through that space.

    Is that achievable, and how? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

    I have been on a long journey from 25+ % bodyfat to 11% and also packed on a lot of muscles. Now, I never feel satisfied, but there is a point where it is sane, to let it go.

    But I don't want to give up working out. I like it too mucu for that. What could be some new goals, that don't interfere with my gains. I want to keep them.
