Can I do my multimedia work on the machines and sometimes plug in an external monitor when needed (HDMI). I do heavy duty video/audio/multimedia editing on my desktop. But when I am out and about, a reliable laptop to sketch ideas while listening to music, email client and launching a browser to research is my usual workflow. I was not sure if the programs I work with (scribus, inkscape, gimp, audacity et al) had architecture issues. The programs I mentioned tend to be low resource. Based on what you are saying, I can install and run the programs I need.(07-15-2019, 11:01 PM)ikhider Wrote: How would the Pinebook Pro handle other apps like Inscape, Scribus, Darktable, GIMP, Audacity, Ardour...multimedia stuff in general. Will it run the programs the way a regular computer would? A simple sudo apt-get install and away you go?
Hi,
The closest I have atm is a Raspberry Pi running rasbian, which I believe will be a similar experience (although the Rock64 will be somewhat faster). All but darktable were indeed install-able using apt-get. Not sure why darktable wasn't there but I quickly tried them all and they all started and ran. Not an exhaustive test by any means but they all seemed usable,
