Sooooo.... updates:
I upgraded the hardware a bit. I bought the best CPU that fits in my old Gigabyte motherboard (GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK)
i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz (Passmark score is 8068, compared to 4698 for the previous CPU, also has 8 threads vs. the previous 4)
32GB RAM
Currently on a 250GB SSD, but will be cloning that to an NVME drive (MB only supports "Gen3 x2"? or basically 750GB/s vs. 450GB/s for the SSD)
GTX 960 (also have a GTX 980 if needed but that's doubtful)
will be adding a Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler and shove it all into a be quiet Pure Base 600 case in the next week (happy birthday to me!)
I tinkered with Fedora 39 & 40 and was having some random issues that I don't remember at the moment. The main issue I can recall was that in RaySession, the JACK display window wasn't working. It wasn't a huge deal and I may try Fedora 40 again later once it's been updated a bit.
I ended up setting up Ubuntu Studio 24.04 and nearly everything seems to be working. The only issue at this point is that I can't get the audio mixer settings to save between reboots. I'm making changes with Alsamixer, but they're over-written after booting. I thought I had black-listed Pipewire, but maybe something else is changing the settings? Suggestions on where to look?
Thanks 'n stuff!
