#LinuxMint and #LinuxMusicProduction friends. I have a quandary. I like using Google Drive to store some of my shared data on, but this aspect of my workflow is not going well. Un-mounting my Google Drive causes my PC to be fast and lovely.

I tried using the network accounts to see my Google Drive, and this does work, but with #Blender I am shown the machine names for everything and none of my folder names are displayed correctly in Blender. Everywhere it is fine.

#rClone, or the way I have it set up on my PC is awful (I'm using free access because I can't afford a paid Google auth key for this). It causes applications to launch slowly. It causes Nemo to think it has crashed while Google Drive links take *forever* to update. And yet Blender can see this and it allows me to access (after an interminable wait) my project data.

Frustrated in New Zealand.

Solved: don’t use clone to Google Drive as I had been trying. Will detail in a reply.

Who's making music on #Linux? Is it realistic to replace a #MacBook with a Linux machine in a recording studio? Does it play nice with external devices? I've had some experience with #Ubuntu, I'm aware that it's not as user friendly but it seemed to work well "in the box", at least. Thoughts? #linuxmusic #linuxmusicproduction #linuxmusicians #MusicProduction https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/03/apple-ceo-tim-cook-personally-invested-1-million-in-trumps-inauguration
