Renoise on Linux?

[gamerdude35]

Does anyone have any experience with using Renoise on Linux? I recently bought a legit key since I wanted access to every build and I saw that there was Linux support apparently. Figured this would be the right place to ask.

 

Also trackers rule.

I downloaded and tried the demo just today. All these steps took me over less than 1-2 mins, pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure it would be easy  for you to set up, all you need is the the GNU core C library (glibc), which should be installed by default in most Linux distributions.

Drag and drop the files in the tarball archive in the directory of your choice (I would recommend /Downloads), locate the file "Renoise_x_x_x_xyz" (Renoise_x_x_x_Demo_Linux in my case since I downloaded the demo) in the terminal using the cd command, and run the installer.sh script with superuser privileges (sudo or doas command). Picture provided below.

Also, no there are no audio issues for me despite the warnings (Fedora uses PipeWire). If you have any issues, feel free to reply or message me in private. Also, you can run this very installer in BSD, provided all the dependencies are present in your BSD system, since it is a shell script file.

EDIT: I don't think glibc is officially available for BSD, rather libc is used, both serve the same purpose though.. Might have to try a BSD distribution, incase anyone is interested in trying Renoise for BSD.

Errata in the part where I talked about installation in BSD. Will try it sometime sooner myself.

And btw, thanks for posting this question, this one gave me the incentive to install and try Renoise demo for the first time, DAW looks amazing, kinda hooked into this one .
