  • From my small experience with Qualcomm in the past, I’m not too hopeful. In a company I used to work for, we wanted to use one of their SoC with Linux, which they claimed they supported. It was many years ago. But was full of closed binary blobs which even when signing NDAs, we couldn’t get the source for. We’re talking user-space drivers, sensors offloaded to a separate core with closed source firmware etc. It’s Linux, but it’s not Linux in spirit, it feels so closed and proprietary and secretive. They’re coming from Android, which google architecturally enabled vendors to close their drivers by utilizing HAL. It’s the single most significant blow to Linux by any corporation so far. It enabled thousands of vendors to close their shitty driver in user-space and not maintain it for newer kernels (kernel driver is just an IO proxy for user-space drivers). I get that without it, there wouldn’t be Android phones we have today, but I expected them to slowly open up. 10+ years later, almost nothing changed, in fact - things seem worse to me.










  • Was gonna say it’s much more expensive than the rest, but on Thomann, B-stock is exactly the same price as Nux (B-stock also). And I’ve heard it’s good sounding and that one YT review on Anderton’s, says it sounds the most natural out of most of what I’ve listed. So now I’m undecided again. And for the headphone out - I don’t really care, I have a headphone amp. I have a sound interface and VST setup I can use for that.



  • This might work. But I need it to have enough versatility on its own. It needs to have high gain (I’m a metal fan), plus some reverb/delay. I’d prefer not to need pedals for a practice amp. At least I think I need this, not sure unless you try. Also, second hand, I currently can’t find anything nice locally (I’m in Serbia).


  • I actually have a decent audio interface and I do have half-decent speakers, but they don’t fit on my desk, so they sit on a shelf and rarely get used. Anyway, this may be a silly use case and I’m not that bound to it. I just figured - the amp has full range speakers and it does sit on the desk and the amp has an audio interface. But this is more like - nice to have.






  • Shape binder is what you need. Shape binder can be used to reference geometry from another body. What I would do is I’d make one pocket on the main body. Then select another body and make it an active body. Then select the pocket you made (the surface or the edge) and create a shape binder (part design). This will effectively import the selected feature from the first body and you can reference it from second body. Make sure you hide the first body, as it somehow gets in the way of shape binder, for some reason. Repeat for third body.
