(i should also really teach myself isadora)

Let me just make the easiest to use software in the world and also make it really powerful too. Also it doesn't run on Linux because gently caress you and your playout systems -the boys at figure 53

Live theatre hardware/software is the definition of having to be "Rock solid, heart touching" so I got no idea why it's not like mandatory to be able to run on some LTS distro. Crazy to have to run it on a consumer OS.

why would you need a gui application for a server OS like Linux?

for something like qlab rock solid status is massively easier to achieve on macos than linux 1. your users aren't able to run it on random shitbox hardware, the prices are high but the quality is mostly high to match (ignoring recent keyboard issues lol). also this helps reduce the amount of testing you need to do. 2. operating systems targeted at consumers have higher baseline reliability of their features. deploying millions of a platform to millions of randos doin' a universe of weird poo poo means the corners of the system get debugged faster than you get when you're os is mostly deployed to boring datacenters where it does a very narrow set of things. server things end up being quite reliable but the rest, not so much 3. linux wastes so much of its collective developer energy on useless bullshit. the eternal blood war between kde and gnome, ~distributions~, etc. they couldn't even manage to modernize init without controversy and schisms. all of this detracts from achieving consumer level stability and the features needed to make it easy and pleasant to build apps non computer touchers like to use, such as qlab

Mr. Nice! posted:earlier ones can. it's something to do with this year model from my googling. huh i tried googling that too and it sounds like on macsbook pro with internal dvd drives, boot camp requires dvd installation if you are trying to use boot camp, and it's what's getting in the way, i think you can install windows without going through boot camp assistant. might be a path to try if you don't have any dvd media sitting around to burn or the superdrive's broke or removed in favor of a second hdd that reminds me that i have a pile of blank dvds that i havent touched in like 8 or 9 years lol. booting from optical media is so archaic

Well, that's what you get for using a mac - things that are easy on PCs become a hassle.
