    My only use for chrome is to interact with the google web apps that don’t work well in firefox or safari. Otherwise it wouldn’t be installed. IMO Google softly requires you to use …

    Interesting not to see a mention of reaper, which is a fairly popular DAW with linux support (“experimental”)

    Yeah, although imagine if carpenters were interviewed/judged based on the quality by which they could create hammers and drills from scratch. But it was a good thing overall. I sho…
