I am sure to be roasted for this opinion, but Steinberg needs to seriously consider a Linux port, especially with the developments at Microsoft. Aside from the lies about Windows 10 being the last release, forcing adoption to Windows 11 requiring a TPM, which spies on you even more than 10, and then…

The TPM is required in Windows 11 for security reasons. Microsoft has taken a lot of flak over the years for the poor Windows security, and this is a major step towards addressing this. Concerns about the screenshots in their Recall feature are of course valid.

There has been some discussion about this in the past. [image] Dorico on Linux? Dorico I know this question has been asked before, but as it’s been at least a year-and-a-half, I’m asking it again. Of course, Dorico does not currently run on Linux, but I hope greatly in f…

I don’t know about you, but I’m much, much more concerned about (in)-security “from above” than “from below”. That is, I’m more concerned about MS (and Apple, Google, etc.) and their intrusions than about hackers “in the wild”, which I think describes the OP’s thoughts as well. Knowing what we do ab…

I like Windows 11 quite a bit, moved to it a few years ago. I think it is a big step up from Windows 10 overall. It is the most MacOS-like that Windows has ever been, in a good way. The main thing inhibiting a Linux release of Dorico at the moment would be the audio engine, which is based on Cubase…

The TPM is just them finally admitting their software DRM is and always has been trash. It is a DRM tax and a gaping security hole.

I did. I already saw the semi-literate opinions against it. But here’s another.

I don’t see what it has to do with DRM. The main point of TPM is for encryption and better authentication, and also to work together with Secure Boot. Windows used to be vulnerable to injection attacks where viruses could inject themselves into the boot process making them nearly impossible to remov…

[image] DGMuu: I am sure to be roasted for this opinion, but Steinberg needs to seriously consider a Linux port Not roasted, but it’s been discussed here many times before. I personally would love a linux port but until the big VSTi players jump on board, you won’t see many defectors from Mac…

[image] derAbgang: Linux has many worthwhile, comparable options (yes, I know, but not Dorico). Think MuseScore, Lilypond (w/Frescobaldi)… Agree. When travelling (as I suffer i-phobia) I have Linux running MuseScore on an ancient HP Laptop with a 32 key midi keyboard. All very successful. Ye…

Dorico needs linux/BSD support
