It’s awesome to see Unix descendants still alive and active. NetBSD has been doing some really cool stuff lately, like PVH boot support.
Kudos to the SmolBSD team, a really fun project that made NetBSD PVH boot support, allowing it to boot a microVM on QEMU in ~10 ms https://smolbsd.org
My Orange Pi RV2 sucks :( The available distros, drivers, kernel, and tools do work, but they’re crappy, and poorly maintained. There’s no support and very little documentation, which is a real shame. From a hardware point of view, it’s a nice board and when I properly compiled some softwares myself I actually got really interesting performance, but it was a pain in the ass.
So I ended up buying a Raspberry Pi 4, much better supported and documented.
I’d really like to see more plugins available in the LV2 format for my Ardour RT DAW.
Also, a quick recommendation : LSP (Linux Studio Plugins) an excellent collection of several open source plugins supporting CLAP, AU, LV2, VST2, VST3, LADSPA, and a standalone Jack versions https://lsp-plug.in/
