Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it’s very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

Dave the diver!

Eh call me when they make a new Gun Nac

I love gaming on the go so I’ll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it’s own right

u wot m8?

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It’s fairly forgiving but I still haven’t beaten it!

Ubuntu Studio!

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I’d love a Pocket

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

Replied to OP above with some suggestions

I use Ubuntu Studio. First thing to do is configure it with the included Studio Controls app, which is easy.

I used Reaper on Windows so it was easy for me to just use the Linux version. I’ve also messed around with Renoise which works well on Linux. People rave about Bitwig and it’s more similar to Ableton I think, but like Ableton it’s expensive. IMO you want want one of these rather than the built in FOSS DAWs, although to be fair I haven’t tried those recently.

All these come with some built in FX to different degrees. Ubuntu Studio also includes a bunch. The free Airwindows plugins are also well worth getting.

I have a couple of U-He synths which are top notch and run native on Linux. They have some FX too which I haven’t tried.

If you want to use VSTs you’ve bought it’s doable with Yabridge apparently, I haven’t tried it.

I know this is a gaming sub, but I’ll just add that I had a similar experience with music production. Used to he a fiddly disappointimg nightmare, now it’s smooth and usable as a daily driver

Sounds great, I’ve never been but I should do it 😃

Snooker. And Test cricket
