If Ardour should be installed to e.g. /opt and use static, instead of shared libraries, it's not a container. >And there is also the WINE effect. It works really well these days.

I'm using wine-staging for gr-55_floorboard, since the Linux version is unusable. [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ cat /mnt/archlinux/usr/local/bin/gr-55_floorboard_wine #!/bin/dash wine '/home/rocketmouse/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GR-55FloorBoard/GR-55FloorBoard.exe' & exit However, this can't be compared with snaps. Btw. wine allows to install the same software to one path by another, which could be useful for troubleshooting. I can't see how wine is related to snappy and Co., were not only pro-audio is quasi unusable, but even a MUA such as Evolution only works with crippled functionality, due to security restrictions, caused by the container approach. -- -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
