after going public with my work on Ableton for Linux last month, July and August have been absolutely crazy. Regular work + Ableton Linux has led to new work and a suddenly growing Live on Linux community. exactly one month after the first installs, we dropped a major update with cleartype-style font rendering, a full installer rewrite, a macOS-quality zoom and scroll input system, and a slew of performance work that makes Live open in seconds on Linux.
I've had an absolutely frantic month and slept for 3/4 of this entire weekend. Lmao.
And uh. Just getting started :3
